You guys have no right to complain. I am new here and try to be quiet, but this got my attention. Sorry if I am breaking any/. etiquette rules. My husband, who is more into this then I am, cautioned me about your collective wrath.
Try being a young attractive woman working for a company where partially everyone has been here 20 years and is old enough to be your father. You also happen to be pretty bright but no one cares because they think you are a just another cute college hire.
I am older then I look and I have been around. I decided to go work for this company because I happen to believe they are better them most old school places. Also, they at least make a show of treating everyone equally and trying to do things fast.
I think the best solution to this problem is to be quiet and wait your turn. You would not believe what kind of information you can get because people around you assume you can't understand what they are talking about.
I know it's hard to wait and I am as impatient as you are. I have been burned before when I got too impatient. Please keep in mind that experience counts for something and there is a lot of 'soft skills' that these people learned in the work place that they did not teach us in CS classes.
Don't scoff at 'communication skills' because your boss thinks they are important, and he authorizes your pay check and raises.
Believe me, people notice that you are smart. I also hope you are smart enough to realize when to be patient.
YCH out...
