Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
I am a woman who works in a male-dominated industry, where I have earned a leadership role. I regularly attend industry events where spouses are included, and I love meeting my co-workers’ spouses.
I usually say something along the lines of, “I work for Company X,” but it doesn’t feel like enough. I’ve worked hard for my position, and it is frustrating for people to assume I’m a guest.Include your title when introducing yourself. Miss Manners trusts that that will be shaming enough, and can therefore be done subtly: “I’m the vice president of Company X,” rather than “I’m your boss.”I am 69 years old, with a 29-year-old daughter who lives at home with my husband and me.
Miss Manners would have you ask kindly, but constantly, which will lead to one of two outcomes: Your daughter will get tired of being asked, and simply do the work. Or, she will object to having to contribute, which will lead to a more substantive discussion about family responsibilities.I am an avid magazine subscriber and reader. When I am done with my magazines, I pass them on to several people, depending on their interests.
