Thank you so much for this piece. Presumably like many readers, I found it through the comments under the article in Additude. I agree with others commenting that they clearly had an agenda and that it isn't helpful but I also think it was very American. In many other countries you can't be fired or mistreated for your gender, sexuality, disabilities etc. Obviously people can be crap anywhere but the whole "don't do anything to make your boss think you're not capable" isn't something you have to think about as much outside the US.
