I doubt there's a workplace where this doesn't happen to some extent. I've seen it in a workplace generation after generation of new college recruits entering and some zooming...In fact, in my business book I'm working on, I have a name for it, "Live by the cleavage, die by the cleavage." As one generation replaces another, new ones come in and the shelf life and aging create more openings for the new ones...But her day will come...A young bimbo (that's not sexist, a male can be a bimbo, too, look it up) will come along and replace MeGyn. The young replace the old. That's just a fact.
I'd like to read the mind of Kimberly Guilfoyle on this subject, for example. I am sure she and several other peers felt themselves more qualified to get a prime time show than MeGyn....There's a long list of them at Fox who are arguably more qualified and more experienced.
