Любопытная информация, всем доброе утро! Women tend to apologize more often, which affects their careers, but the issue is systemic rather than personal. Economists Lily Liu and Marshall Ma from Stanford found that: 🔹 Women used phrases like "sorry" in emails twice as often as men. 🔹 They apologized 12% more frequently, even with the same confidence. 🔹 Managers perceived them as less competent, especially if they were women, though they were seen as more likable. Ultimately, the effects of competence and likability balanced out, resulting in no significant impact on promotions. This culture of apologizing stems from socialization, where women are taught to be polite and avoid confrontation, leading to their politeness being viewed as a weakness. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2025/04/09/what-your-boss-makes-of-your-apology
