My God.

I’ve got to figure out how to get some made up stories monetized like this one. These people have to be making a fortune!

Just look at this thread...

How can she take accurate notes when she has to get up repeatedly to get the coffee?

Nobody reads the notes anyway. While she’s up she should make the boss a sandwich.

AI workers/robots are going to put HR out of business.

Maybe not

AI can escillate HR times 100.

The field is a little crowded and you'll need to be very organized to not repeat too many of the same details that would make it obvious.

Your advertisers will sell candles, chocolate, cat items, coffee mugs, home decor items, etc., in addition to some "boss babe" stuff and yes, you could make a fortune.

When Gloria, a senior analyst, was told a leadership role was “too demanding for women,” she filed a report—and a few months later, she was the one sitting in her boss’s chair.”

You wll need to document every interaction with any female under you or over you. How else to protect yourself from false accusation.

There you go again with the assumptions. “possibly stupid or Hitlerian”, and “possibly underlying racial dynamics”. How about maybe, even possibly he was a serial killer, trying to lure her with gifts? Who knows? The soap opera material here is enough for several episodes. Bottom line, imho this should have been handled differently by her. If she was smart, she could have used this to her advantage buy embarrassing him in follow up meetings with her notes, make him look like a fool. I’ve done it and it was glorious!

Was this incident really worth a man being fired from his job?

I am a woman with a doctorate in one of the most male-dominated, competitive, and highly paid health professions. I’ve seen it all, especially since I was a graduate student in 1970s. This could have been handled without getting H.R. involved.

There you go again blahblah blah blaaaa

Ooh, sorry you lost your job because some woman complained to HR. I guess it still stings.

"I Refuse to Do a Secretary’s Job for Free Just Because I’m a Woman’.....’I’m 27F, a project engineer.’"

Sounds like a fake AI story. Project engineers are almost certainly salaried employees. Somebody who is getting paid a salary isn't doing any job for "free".

For some reason the supposed "project engineer" refused to do a simpler job which is often part of the responsibilities of an engineer on a team. What's wrong with taking notes?

The story reeks of AI fakeness.

"I became the meeting note taker and was promoted accordingly."

Exactly what I would have done. If a male (or female) boss asked me to take notes because "women are best at it," I might smile and share a little laugh with the boss. Then, I would use the note-taking to my advantage.

Today, people of both sexes are very sensitive - but, as far as I can tell, only in white-collar jobs. I really believe these people could never survive the low-wage jobs where the bosses scream and curse at the workers, and sometimes, the female bosses can be the toughest.
