Scenario

When workplace dynamics reflect broader patterns of bias and privilege

My business partner handles all our client relationships and I do the technical work, but lately I've noticed that clients defer to him even when they're asking about my area of expertise, and when I brought it up he said he hadn't noticed and maybe I'm being too sensitive. I don't think he's doing it on purpose but I also don't think he understands how this dynamic affects our partnership and my authority with clients.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are experiencing the same interactions completely differently, and the person with less social power is being asked to prove that their experience is valid.
