One was killed 7 months ago in Bangalore and at least one in Delhi in between.
And yet when I left an office dinner at 9.30 pm, with a 1 hour commute to cover, my manager indiscriminately yelled at me in a meeting next day and said that I showed lack of commitment to the senior managers invited to the dinner. He thought nothing of organising a late night dinner instead of an afternoon lunch and made no arrangements for a safe drop at home. If he could treat a senior and experienced woman like this, what of the young girls who are afraid of their bosses and of losing their jobs?
My manager was wrong and he is sitting happily in a highly paid job, while I am sitting at home blogging….
