Maybe I Should Send This to HR
Snopes has a great list of tips when dealing with women in the workplace. Can you think of any more modern additions? 24 Responses To "Maybe I Should Send This to HR"
The Snopes researcher seems to think the list is "crass" and "condescending". Maybe. Still, sound advice. #2 - Posted by: Slum Lord on November 10, 2005 01:50 PMSmart Spacemonkey. #3 - Posted by: jonag on November 10, 2005 01:51 PMOk, now I'm confused. I've found there are only two ways to deal with women. Problem is nobody knows what they are. #5 - Posted by: Xyba on November 10, 2005 02:19 PMTo paraphrase Lyndon Johnson, there are two things that you must do to get along with a woman. The first is to let her think that she's getting her way. The second is to let her get her way. I think that there's a clue there as to why I'm still single. #6 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on November 10, 2005 02:38 PMThat's so outdated. Modern research suggests women work best when chained to their desks, sworn at, berated, and ridiculed for being "husky." #7 - Posted by: ss on November 10, 2005 02:47 PMLet's see if I understand this...we are suppose to hire "husky" women? I'm sorry but I can't get past that one... #8 - Posted by: USS Jimmy Carter Attack Submarine on November 10, 2005 02:56 PMActually girls are "chubby". Boys are "husky". That is according to the Sears Catalog circa 1972. #9 - Posted by: jonag on November 10, 2005 02:57 PMLet's see if I understand this...we are suppose to hire "husky" women? I'm sorry but I can't get past that one... #10 - Posted by: USS Jimmy Carter Attack Submarine on November 10, 2005 02:57 PM12. Run vigorous testing on a woman's ability to do heavy lifting. Women are statistically less strong than men, and the determination needs to be made whether they can fulfill all of the job requirements. Also, it is a good opportunity to check out their keisters. #11 - Posted by: DesertElephant on November 10, 2005 03:01 PMWhen purchasing burkahs for women employees, be sure to obtain a wide variety of sizes. Some women are, regrettably, extremely fat. #13 - Posted by: Laurence Simon on November 10, 2005 04:26 PM"I've found there are only two ways to deal with women. Problem is nobody knows what they are." Then you obviously haven't found them. -- I am ticked at Snopes that they so incredibly over-do the PC crap at the bottom. There is nothing condescending in that list to women. #14 - Posted by: Hans Mast on November 10, 2005 04:43 PMgosh, I sure hope when I get home my husband will tell me what to think about this. #15 - Posted by: rachel on November 10, 2005 04:50 PMThe man may be the head of the house, but the WOMAN is that neck that turns him! Men...can't live with 'em, and ya just can't shoot 'em. *sigh* #16 - Posted by: SkyeChild on November 10, 2005 04:51 PMRachel I am in trouble, when I get home there won't be anyone to tell me what to think. What will I do!!!! (that was funny btw) Men...can't live with 'em, and ya just can't shoot 'em. *sigh* Posted by SkyeChild at November 10, 2005 04:51 PM Why can't we??? #18 - Posted by: RightWingConspirator on November 10, 2005 08:44 PMRWC, Why not? I got a crawlspace full of them. #20 - Posted by: Fast Eddie on November 10, 2005 10:44 PMI am ticked at Snopes that they so incredibly over-do the PC crap at the bottom. There is nothing condescending in that list to women. Posted by Hans Mast at November 10, 2005 04:43 PM "Numerous properties say that women make excellent workers when they have their jobs cut out for them but that they lack initiative in finding work themselves." If you think that is true and not condescending, then you obviously don't know many women. #21 - Posted by: RightWingConspirator on November 10, 2005 11:54 PMSince there has only been 1 more contribution to the list, here's another: "Remeber, Chicks don't like to be called 'Broads'" #22 - Posted by: Beolaf on November 11, 2005 07:56 AMMost of that list isn't condescending at all...Hmmm.... #23 - Posted by: Tracker on November 11, 2005 08:22 AMYou could probably reverse many of these items and apply them decently to men. Modern marketing psychology (aka Machiavelli on Capitalism) is 10x more mercenary than this seems to be! And nobody gripes about it as, well, that's just the way it is, we all know that. The difference is that this article is totally up front about its ideas. Rather like that French news producer who admitted he wasn't showing the riots on TV because he didn't want to give any credit to the 'political right'. It's more a matter of naivete--being stupid enough to just openly say what you really feel about things--than of being unusually discriminatory. In an 'off the record' way, I used to avoid hiring women with young children because they were off work so often when the kids were sick (for some reason, young men with kids weren't in the same quantity), and because OT was nearly always impossible for them without a week of notice because they had to get the kids from daycare. Fair? To them, maybe not, but fair to the business? Yes. I liked hiring the young men fresh out of the military because they worked damn hard, never EVER showed attitude, and considered overtime when needed a moral obligation they would never question. I wasn't stupid enough to write these opinions down though, so nobody picked on me about it. (And ironically, I'm a woman. But logic is logic, right?) Post a comment
