Answer:

stereotype threat

Step-by-step explanation:

Stereotype threat is basically feeling backward and after which one starts questioning their own capabilities. This basically rules and makes a person less capable. This generally leads to gender gaps and discrimination.

In the given instance, Alejandra feels that the company is not treating her well, and also she is inferior to male staff, as according to her they perform well.

This is nothing but a stereotype threat, where in fact a person performs below her capabilities as because of constant fear faced by them.
