Fancy ladies of business: Do you suffer from headaches because you're always accidentally bumping your heads against the glass ceiling? Well, the good news is that there might be away for you to break through it once and for all. The bad news is that the way to do that is by learning how to pay golf. Booooooo.
People. When we've come to a point in time when good citizens are no longer free to bitch about unsatisfactory shopping experiences online, utilizing a multitude of caps locks words and lengthy rows of exclamation points, well, that's the time when you can just stop this crazy rock and let me off.
Gee gosh oh golly McGillicuddy — I wonder what this is lampooning?
Working a shit job in a cube zoo hell-Labyrinth is a soul-sucking way for a woman to spend her twenties; attending graduate school so she can compose a thesis on menstrual shaming in early Gaelic literature is a money-sucking way for a woman to spend her twenties. But there's one way a woman can waste a few years of…
Power lunches! Lunches that give you powwwwwer! Did you know that — as we speak — there are women out there who are lunching and becoming powerful and making business deals at fancy restaurants across the globe (but particularly in downtown Manhattan)?

For years, Abercrombie & Fitch's hiring practices have been under scrutiny. And now, France’s official human rights watchdog organization has set its sights on the retailer, launching an investigation.
Hate looking people in the eye? Join the club — the awkward weirdo club that consists of most modern human beings.
Even before Abercrombie & Fitch CEO and douchenozzle Mike Jeffries started getting pummeled for his 2006 comments about sizing his clothes to fit "cool, good-looking" kids only, the company was on the decline domestically.
Women. You turn around for one second and they're off jeopardizing their careers in some way — catfighting , asking for (literally) lighter loads because they're pregnant, and doing all sorts of other crazy things to explain why they're underrepresented and underpaid in the workplace.
The group that owns the Manhattan high-rise home of male-dominated Japanese financial firm Nomura is requesting a new Certificate of Occupancy that will allow far fewer women's toilets to be installed on those lower levels occupied by Nomura. That's because Nomura boasts a long and storied history of not having many…
You might have been too busy this weekend with all of the exercise sport workouts that you were doing to have heard the news, but Lululemon, the pricey yoga outfitter adored by the wealthy zen everywhere, were forced to recall a large selection of their yoga pants due to a coverage problem, i.e., wearing them meant…
I have something
embarrassing
awesome
to share. For a while, I was the most popular reviewer on Yelp. I wrote loving tributes to the restaurants I adored, and damning screeds about the vets who did my dogs wrong. It was a creative outlet at my otherwise soul-sucking job, a job I eventually stopped doing because Yelp…
Future sex spies, take note.
There's been some debate lately over how the ladies are treated at Goldman Sachs, given the firm's recent announcement that only 14 percent of its new partners are female. Some dudes hypothesized that women were perhaps too busy with babies and cookies (yep) to make it to the top, while others suggested that maybe,…
It would be lovely if the delusional pundits who insist that the gender wage gap is a myth were correct. (We also wish that ocean levels weren't rising, people could easily teleport to work, and Hogwarts was real. We have a lot of dreams.) Sorry, blustery self-satisfied old dudes: women still aren't getting paid and…
Terrible news, sorority girls of 2003. Despite the heroic efforts of Tom Brady and Andre Leon Talley and the ghost of Newlyweds-era Jessica Simpson, the once vaunted Ugg boot is swirling down the crapper posthaste. With profits down 31%, it seems unlikely that the company will be able to limp along for too much longer.

Dating in China is a considerably more business-like endeavor, at least according to the New York Times' Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore, who casts marriage in China as a generally economic arrangement stripped of its sentimentality. Men and women have extremely specific requirements for potential mates and, on some…
When newly-coronated Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer announced that she and her husband were expecting their first baby in October, people who are not Marissa Mayer or Marissa Mayer's doctor immediately began speculating that having a baby would be a detriment to her ability to do her job. Some even went so far as to suggest…
If you happen to be a lady and you happen to have aspirations are followed by at least seven zeroes and preceded by a dollar (or pound, or Euro) sign, it's time for some real talk: no matter how old you are, you're too something something to succeed at a hedge fund.
