“Because social impact work is more congruent with female than male gender role stereotypes, promotion rates will be lower for participating men, and male evaluators will be less likely than female evaluators to recommend promotion for male participants,” they write. Men associated with the firm’s pro bono projects are promoted at lower rates than women with the same experience, as well as both men and women staffers who didn’t volunteer. ... It’s a rare instance where gender stereotypes negatively hurt men’s careers, an effect that women are more likely to experience in the workplace.” [more] ([link removed])
