It Is What It Is
Look, don't deny it, pretty privilege is a real thing.
Matter of fact, it's common in corporate spaces.
Just in case you didn’t know, pretty privilege simply means that people who are seen as conventionally attractive get certain advantages in life.
And it isn't limited to females only. Males benefit too.
According to research conducted by Newsweek;
63% of respondents believe being attractive gives men an advantage in securing a job
58% say it contributes to their chances of getting promoted
The influence of appearance also extends to hiring managers’ perceptions of their employees and candidates
60% of them expressed that wearing “flattering clothes” gives women an edge in the workplace
These bullet points are our ‘food for thought’ today.

How often do you see pretty privilege come into play in the corporate world?
Or, have you ever been the privileged one 👀?
