My brothers told me that all the time. I hated it. Sometimes I would try harder to do better, but most of the time I would give up because they would taunt me no matter what I did.

Which seems to be the point of a new study described in a Washington Post article entitled  Salary, Gender and the Social  Cost of Haggling. (via metafilter)

I’m also reading a book called Pitch Like a Girl by Ronna Lichtenberg. I took a 2-day Project Management class that focused on team-building and communications last week, and it was great. Just trying to keep that soft-skills education going.
