Yeah, but think of all the jobs opening up for the new class of female executives.Speaker to Animals wrote:Witch trials already commencing. All it takes is for one former female employee to make the allegation and your shit is done.
Like my job 15yrs ago, the old boss retired (65) and they brought in an Irish national woman (green card), stupid in the first place since a lot of us (including the old boss) had DOD security clearances and there wasn't a chance in hell of her getting one. She had it out for "men", we were all "deadwood", she promptly promoted all the women to managers and started writing up and then getting rid of us horrible men.
I was the 4th to go, the temp went immediately, one coworker got assigned a project that should've taken 2 weeks - she gave him a week, and when I stayed late to help him out she made her displeasure at that known... She was hired in July, he was gone by Oct. My project in the meantime was to automate a bunch of stuff so she could "early retire" a 63y/o coworker - I felt bad but talking to him he was OK with it, he got a deal to leave early, he was gone end of January, then she started in on me - same MO, "how long will it take you?", two weeks, "I need it by Friday" - worked 12+hr's/day, taking work home, walked into her office at 4:30pm Friday with it done... "Not good enough, I needed it by 3pm, you're written up" (total bs of course). Third time, early July, I had my resignation letter written up and a new job in the works (waiting for the offer letter that came 3 days later) - and she was *pissed* that I gave her a resignation, literally said to my face "I don't know if I want to accept this, I should fire you".
I just calmly said "let's see what HR says", since it seems obvious they'd rather take a resignation than fire someone and risk potential legal blowback. Funny thing is I knew all the people in HR for many years (all women except the director), they all saw what she was doing but when I said there's probably no chance in hell I could ever win a court case on "sex discrimination" they all agreed.
