Could this be the goal for many other large companies?
I think it's happening already thanks to this #Metoo bullshit.
They shot themselves in the foot quite frankly.
No problemo. Women-owned companies sometimes hire all-women personnel. Granted they're usually small. But no one complains.
That's not the point any more. We're way past facts, like whether a thing was actually done. Now its "reputation area" politics since the women are accusing celebrities, pols, etc. These are vulnerable males: once the allegation is out there, the reputation is gone, vamoosed, departed, extincto !
You cannot legally ignore female hires but perhaps male bosses can use witnesses, like the old procedure of having a nurse in attendance when a male doctor examined a female patient.That infers no more one-on-one meetings between boss men and worker women without a witness, or occurring when the meeting is in an open room.
As an aside, a single female friend, over 40, hates the #Me Too banality. Besides finding no credibility in many of the claims, she said it ruined her chance of getting hit on at work "for like, forever".
That's much more likely than a company really deciding to violate federal law and intentionally get rid of all of their female employees, while hiring only men from now on.
Actually, all they have to do is go back to old way of hiring…judge applicants based on merits. That should allow them to achieve their goal of hiring mostly males.They said that out loud? Orders? Sounds lawsuit-ey.
I have heard people say they will only hire straight young white male athiests because they are the only unprotected class so they can fire them without fear of lawsuit. Part of me is appalled but when I hear stories like this I can also see where they are coming from.

I doubt it very much. Seems like a very poorly thought out plan that will lead to a great deal of lawsuits and boycotts, that I'd doubt many other companies with an inkling of self perseverance would adopt.I work in a company which was mainly a predominantly male only industry. Over the last 20 or so years, we have brought the proportion of women into the company to about 40% and rising every year. At a recent meeting, it was discussed that with so many women making allegations of sexual harassment that we have received orders from upper management that there is to be no more women hires.
We were told that all our branches are doing this and the three year goal is to reduce female employees to around 5% or less. All the standard cautions about firing and hiring due to discrimination were made.

I don't know how large your company is, but a 35% decrease in the number of women in the office within 3 years is sure to be noticed by someone. Firing and not hiring women, is neither the best, nor easiest solution. If fact, it's not a solution at all. It's an idea of an idiot, who appears to have his entire staff brainwashed to think he's a genius from what you just posted.Dude, nobody is posting anything on the bulletin board or making this anouncement on the loudspeaker. Most all companies have little secrets of wrongdoings, not always in the hiring aspect. Peoples lives are destroyed and this can affect their position in a company along with the company itself. The company doesn't want this aggrevation and neither do the men, so easiest solution is to minimize the women. Do you want a woman who will scream harassment everytime they get brushed on coming out of a crowded elevator or because you are standing too close to the womens bathroom door; you can have them. The company I work for is coop and we all want our company to make money because that makes me money. That can best be done by not hiring any more women.

When you say "with so many women making allegations of sexual harassment", does that refer to within your company, or in general in the news? I'd be curious to know what your upper management has done to address the growing issue with the number of white males being accused of embezzlement, fraud, and murder of their coworkers.

Wait a minute....Is this a government job? Is Trump your "upper management"?
I dont know why, but women make better sandwiches at Subway. Everytime I go there if a chick is not making it, Im not eating it.
My boss at a small business once told me that he wouldn't hire a woman because his wife didn't trust him around them. Notably she was his second wife.
Why is it so hard for you not to sound like the sexist pig that you are?
One of my old coworkers told me about how one of our higher-ups was hesitant on hiring attractive women because he thought they would be a distraction.
