Reply to comment by GrumpyKid86 in Women in high-status, senior positions aren't trusted by the people they work with, according to a new study by giuliomagnifico

Based on the article it doesn't look like they compared men with women, but higher ranked with lower ranked women, and found that the former were trusted less. They also found that higher ranked men were trusted more than lower ranked. But they didn't do a comparison across the genders.

Edit: seems like they did compare

From the article:

"It's also the opposite for men. When they occupy these senior positions, people tend to trust them more than junior male colleagues, or women in senior positions.”

I've actually had mixed experiences with that one, but in general I actually trust higher ranked females than lower because lower tend to power grab, backstab and poison drip just to get ahead. Only on one occasion was that scenario reversed.
