Strategies For Healthcare’s Defense Against Cyberattacks
Mandy McGill followed the get-ahead playbook to the letter when she took an entry-level management job with Seattle-based general contractor Abbott Construction in January 2023. She worked her connections, sought out support from company management and made it known she was interested in moving into senior leadership.
But no matter how hard she tried to create valuable business relationships or how many times she asked for mentorship and advice, the door to advancement seemed to be bolted shut.
McGill said she was treated differently from the start, noting her male counterparts received input from their director while she was left with unanswered phone calls and emails along with a lingering sense that management was uncomfortable with the way she did business.
The feeling of defeat eventually became too much, and she quit after just seven months. Abbott representatives did not respond to Bisnow’s request for comment.
