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.”

This will be the tactic going forward.
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.
Ooh, sorry you lost your job because some woman complained to HR. I guess it still stings.
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.
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.
You sound like a typical liberal asswipe. False accusations and resorting to idiocy. You don’t know a damn thing about me. I never lost a job to anyone who ever complained about me. No one ever made a complaint. Don’t bother to reply, I’ll just ignore it.
Nor do I want to, based on your leaping to conclusions without evidence, misinterpreting the plain meaning of words like "possibly" to declare them hard and fast assumptions, and general puffed uppery. Go boss someone else around, big shot.
Hah! I said I’d ignore your reply, but I lied. I knew you would reply anyway. Now I’m going to show you how stupid you are.
“Nor do I want to, based on your leaping to conclusions”. Then “Go boss someone else around, big shot.”
You don’t know me and don’t want to (which I prefer), yet you call me a “big shot”. Nope, never been one. You are the one who was leaping to conclusions with your asinine assumptions with several “maybe” and “possibly” comments. Definitely liberal. So, this time for real, I will ignore your rhetoric.
“One of my few good talents is to be able to condense meeting notes into an executive summary of a paragraph or two, you won’t get that from any recordings.”
And as long as you share the direction the higher ups want to take the business, you will be continually asked to use that talent. And that was the original problem with the poster on the thread and the difference in understanding the worth. She was complaining about continually being asked to do the work that she was being recognized for her noted excelled capacity, but complaining about it. You on the other hand recognize your talent and wish to engage it.
I’m going to play the devil’s advocate here and ask the unasked question on this topic, “If it was a woman that had made the comment about gender capacity, would it have made any difference to the person in her mind of being put upon? Or was it just that a man had said it and she was passing the blame of her being asked on to someone else based upon gender?”
