Guy's Insider Tip For Women On 'How To Get Promoted' Leaves TikTok's Jaws On The Floor

Guy's Insider Tip For Women On 'How To Get Promoted' Leaves TikTok's Jaws On The Floor

A video featuring a man who provided a manipulative tactic for women to get promoted in the workplace has gone viral.

TikToker Alex Biron–who is the host of the Mean Streak Podcast–started off the video in response to a user who asked how his tips on getting promoted would apply to a woman.


"When you get a new job, do just enough to not get fired," he said in the clip with the caption: "How to get promoted: Woman's Edition."

He suggested female employees should start out doing nothing more than what is required of them.

“Don’t come in early; don’t take on any extra work and keep doing that until they expect very little from you," he said.

"After a while, when you’re ready, make a sudden drastic change, take work home, make a really good impression, and inevitably, your boss will ask you why the big change."

The TikToker then offered the following response:

“You’ll tell him that you’ve discovered you can’t have kids and you’ve realized you’re gonna have to get more life satisfaction out of your career, so you’re going to try really hard from now on."

Biron assured the boss "will be really impressed," adding:

"Jobs often discriminate against women who are going to start families anyway, so those two things combined mean they will promote you without you even asking, and then you’ll move up the company.”

He also said the "beauty of this is" that if the female employee decides to have children, it will "look like a medical miracle," and that everyone in the workplace will have no choice but be happy for them.

"By then, you’ll have moved too far up the company for them to fire you anyway," he said.

TikTokers wanted more insider tips from him.

The fact this video racked up over 3.4 million views as of Saturday and resonated with so many women is an indication there is far more work to be done in combating gender inequality in the workplace.

Website Listing Pro-MAGA Businesses Epically Backfires As Critics Use It For Boycotts Instead

PublicSquare, a website which bills itself as “the anti-woke online marketplace" and offers a list of MAGA-friendly businesses, found its mission completely upended after critics instead used the site to fuel boycotts around the country.

The platform connects tens of thousands of businesses across the country that publicly align with MAGA views and oppose “progressive priorities” such as women’s reproductive rights and diversity initiatives. To list a business on the site, owners must first affirm that they will “respect the core values of PublicSquare” and agree not to “support causes that are in direct conflict with our core values.”

'The View' Audience Horrified After Cohost Defends Trump's $5k 'Baby Bonus' To Boost Birth Rates

Things took a turn on The View during a chat about President Donald Trump's proposed "baby bonus" of $5,000 for women to boost birth rates after co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin—a former Trump administration appointee who bowed out in 2020 and condemned his supporters' attack on the U.S. Capitol—defended the move.

Earlier, The New York Timesreported that the Trump administration "has been hearing out a chorus of ideas in recent weeks for persuading Americans to get married and have more children" and that one proposal shared with aides "would give a $5,000 cash 'baby bonus' to every American mother after delivery."

Fox News Just Aired A Disastrous Poll About President Trump—And It's A Big Yikes

President Donald Trump's approval ratings are in big trouble according to the latest Fox News poll, which shows that even a network known for being largely deferential to his administration can't spin Trump's falling popularity.

Trump’s approval rating has dipped below levels seen during his first term, with the poll showing growing voter dissatisfaction across most major issues. The poll, conducted April 18–21, found that just 44% of registered voters approve of his performance, while 55% disapprove—a 5-point drop since March and a point lower than his rating at the same stage in his first term.
