I am a minority female and my deputy was a white male. He had a fraction of my responsibilities and worked half the number of hours as me; however, we were compensated exactly the SAME. Despite unfair compensation, I was very passionate about my work and the customers I supported. My priority was the customer, always. Plenty of opportunity for growth; however, it was primarily due to high turnover rate. I was happy with my role itself, but I was often overworked. When an external growth opportunity presented itself, my ManTech leadership made it a priority to let the door hit me on the way out. I was treated completely different when I expressed that I would be taking a different opportunity.
