Let’s talk about that moment. You know the one—where you’ve worked your tail off, exceeded every expectation, and STILL get passed over for a promotion. Or your brilliant idea magically becomes someone else’s genius contribution in the next meeting. Or maybe, the feedback you get is so vague it might as well say, Just try harder.

That’s why in this week’s episode of Corporate IT Girl: Rise, Shine, and Make ‘Em Remember You, we’re diving into 4 game-changing steps to take back control, own your worth, and handle workplace unfairness like a BOSS.

What’s Inside This Episode?

Look, I’ve been there. Feeling stuck, unheard, and low-key wondering if you’re overreacting. But let me say it loud and clear: YOU’RE NOT.

Unfairness in corporate isn’t just frustrating—it’s exhausting. But here’s how you flip the script:

✔️ Step 1: Spot It & Name It – If something feels off, trust that gut instinct. We’re talking about how to recognize the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways unfairness shows up, from biased feedback to invisible glass ceilings.

✔️ Step 2: Keep the Receipts – Because facts beat feelings, every time. I’ll show you how to track your wins, document your impact, and gather hard evidence so when the time comes, you’re not just speaking up—you’re backing it up.

✔️ Step 3: Build Your Power Circle – You NEED people in your corner. Mentors, sponsors, and allies who will say your name in rooms you’re not in. Don’t have that yet? No stress—I’ll show you how to find (or create) your own squad.

✔️ Step 4: Speak Up Without Apology – There’s a way to call out unfairness without burning bridges OR playing small. I’m sharing exact scripts for tough conversations that get results, without losing your cool (or your confidence).

💡 PLUS: How to know when to keep fighting for your seat at the table—and when it’s time to find a new one.
