“deliberate and intentional discrimination ensured that the women got jobs.”
Oh really?
I quit my 15-year engineering job to raise my son. At 5 years he would go to school and I’d try to recover it. Didn’t help that at that time, I had major medical problems with surgery and hospital stays, so had to put it off yet again. By the time I really started trying, it had been 6 years.
I’ve sent out gazillions applications over several years. I’m moving onto 10 years out. I’ve had regular interviews, half of them through my old employer (various satellite sites) and even through my husband’s friend at work. Not a single bite. I’ve basically given up.
I remember what I did at work like the back of my hand. That’s not a problem.
I generally blame my “gap”, but my father brought up - and then my husband assented - that maybe I’m just being used for quotas with those interviews.
The quotas apply to INTERVIEWS, not offers.
My father and husband are NO liberals. None of us is knee-jerk feminist, or any such thing.
But no, it’s not that easy to get a job just because you’re a woman.
The quotas apply to INTERVIEWS, not offers.
sorry, but that is not entirely accurate...quotas are derived from, and measured by, the census reports corporations are require to file with the federal government each calendar year; deviations from government norms must be identified and detailed...
