Well ragging about it and chatting all day about gluten and vampire diaries isn't helping, geeze!
You can always tell who's never been a manager. ^^^
Can go both ways, if you're a useless worker, you can get promoted to become a useless manager that then gets promoted. "how" said useless peasant gets promoted may be questionable, but it sure does happen.If you tell me that you don't know of any useless managers, then you're either lying or part of the problem.
The difference between useless managers and useless workers is that useless workers eventually get fired (as they should). Useless managers get transferred, or even promoted.
Bober you also think poverty is self selected so, your bias is already known.
I work in software dev.
I went to a meeting this morning. 6 guys in the room, and only one had a donut. Two people cited weight concerns. Today's post-meeting water cooler chitchat mostly revolved around children and wives, as usual.
I took the afternoon off to get my car's axle replaced. The owner and senior mechanic were discussing the pros and cons of low calorie beer, and how it fits into their diets.
I am increasingly coming to the realization that men are women with dicks.
I would suggest you start looking at technology companies and IT.
Just to throw this anecdote into the ring as well... I have heard a startling number of women confess to getting pregnant, and then taking the full maternity leave knowing full well that they weren't coming back to the company. So essentially, they are taking 3 months off at reduced pay from a company expecting them to come back and work.
Really quite shady in my book and would make me quite upset knowing a woman did this to me if I owned a company. I understand this is a law but I would consider this part of the issue at hand of women 'making less' than men.
This wasn't hearsay either. She actually told that to a friend of mine. .
There are plenty of people that take advantage of the system, you can't blame an entire gender for that shit... it's all the individual that makes that call. Around here it's standard practice when somebody retires that they end up having some sort of procedure that puts them on short term disability for a while, and then they take their 5 weeks of vacation after they max out their short term. So a lot of people's retirement dates are a few months after their last day of work. This isn't something sprung on management either, we know full well they aren't coming back.
Sounds exactly like hearsay to me. Testimony of the words of another... Perhaps, you weren't as qualified as you thought.
A management position opened up in a company I used to work for. Several of us applied, most very competent. We all went through the first round of interviews. The person doing the hiring specifically told me (before I applied) what the qualifications were. After the the first round, I was informed by said manager that though I was in the top 2, I would not be moving around to the second round. Why? Because there was a female candidate. They changed the job description and people who wouldn't have been qualified by the original description made it to the second round. Guess who got hired? I found after that she had help from HR writing her resume and was coached on how to interview for the position as well. This wasn't hearsay either. She actually told that to a friend of mine. She had also pretty much demanded to be put in a management position even though she had a track record of not doing work - pushing it off on other people with less experience and not mentoring them properly.
A year or so later, I needed to talk to her right after a meeting finished. I wanted her to reinforce a couple things with one of her engineers - not in a bad way, just to make sure we were delivering a coherent message. She kept trying to blow me off so I eventually lost my patience and dared to raise my voice a bit. She wound up delivering the EXACT OPPOSITE message to the engineer which sent him through the roof, so I had to go and smooth things over with him. But guess who had to apologize? What p*ssed me off further was that my boss kept making excuses for her when he ordered me to make the apology.
So yeah, there's gender bias at work.
Um, no. My friend (female) heard this directly from her - direct statement, right from the source. And my friend had no reason to make it up. In fact, she was incredulous that the woman in question actually confessed what happened. My saying it is hearsay. Her telling me isn't.
You work at Hooters, what did you expect?Gender bias...yep.
There is only one male in my division that is not in a management role. All of the worker drones are female with the exception of this lone male. 23:1 ratio.
So there is a gender bias towards women.
My wife got fired for having a baby. She notified them she was pregnant and 2 weeks later her job was being advertised for.
Really. (If you're reading this from the middle east, your views might differ, I'm taking about the US)
I was having a conversation with someone and this topic came up. My position is that in today's society, women have as much opportunities for advancement and pay as men do. The differences in pay would be a direct result of qualifications, whether relevant degrees or experience are factored in.
I've never seen an ad where the listing states that women would be paid less than men for the same job, with the same quals. "Um Betty, we're going to have to pay you $40k less than what we listed in the ad because you know, you're a girl and all"...
Come at me, bros.
