Uncorked Sisters
One bottle. Two sisters. No filters. Some conversations take time. We measure ours in wine.
Uncorked Sisters
Being Liked Is NOT a Job Requirement
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we uncork a conversation about something women in the workplace know all too well: the pressure to be liked.
From being told to smile more, to dressing differently to be taken seriously, to being labeled “aggressive” for simply being assertive — we share real stories from corporate IT and the courtroom about navigating double standards, perception, and power.
We talk about:
– Tone policing
– Appearance expectations
– Age bias
– Being called “passionate” instead of competent
– Why supporting other women matters
– And even how AI inherits historical bias
This isn’t about bashing men. It’s about unpacking the invisible rules women are expected to follow — and questioning whether being liked should ever be part of the job description.
Plus, we introduce our official cork rating system and review this week’s wine.
Pour a glass. Let’s uncork this. 🍷
