Do you have any advice for girls in MI5? My boss likes to use the wrong rank to address me and short of hitting him with a telephone I don't know what to do. Other than that he's alright but some of the other blokes don't think I should be here, even though I'm a WRNS officer and have been seconded here temporarily, just because I'm a girl
My advice for girls in MI5 would be to keep going. I know that I, too, have been very close to smacking my boss over the head, but alas, that isn't appropriate workplace behaviour. Don't be afraid to subtly take his ego down a peg or two in conversation. And stuff those other blokes, men never EVER know what they're talking about. They're alway too big headed to come up with anything that's actually useful, I try to take as little notice as possible.
You've got this!
