In the yesteryear, this woman would have been canned for whining. Today the whiners and attention whores run the show.
Several years back I had a job where I was often assigned different co-workers so I could train them. I was assigned a young lady one day. It was customary for the co-worker to fill the truck with parts and tools while I got the work orders. I told her to put the parts in the truck and she immediately when crying with real tears to the superintendent. She did not think loading the truck with the day’s needs was her job.
I couldn’t believe it. And she got by with it.
This entire article explains why women should not be hired in an office environment for any position. Not one bit of encouragement for a diverse workforce. If anything, just the opposite. If one is that sensitive and fragile, they have no business in business. As used to be said: suck it up, buttercup.
This story is at least 85% bogus.
Not all meetings. Many are not recorded or even deliberately not recorded, and many businesses don’t have sophisticated AI software. I could be wrong, I’ve been retired for 10 years, so it’s been a while since I’ve attended meetings, but I don’t think that much has changed.
“Twenty million young women rose to their feet with the cry, ‘We will not be dictated to’, and promptly became stenographers.” ― G.K. Chesterton
A lot of folks here do not like work at home—but that got rid of (and continues to eliminate) 99.9% of the sexual harassment complaints for those working at home.
The time saved on avoiding that nonsense was probably worth many billions of dollars to the economy.
Whatever happened to be grateful to have a job?
Complaining to HR that the boss asked a woman to do an important job just makes the complainant sound petty.
“ I am always pleased when I see that my grocery or fast food order is being delivered by a woman. In our experience, women actually read and follow delivery instructions, figure out how to get into the building and find the elevator, etc. We’ve had a problem only once with a female; many times with the males.
Sometimes one or the other sex really is generally better at something.”
I mused just yesterday at the dentist. All the assistants and hygienists are women. Dentist is a man. The hygienists and tge assistants have a talent at those positions that are more prevalent in woman. That’s all. Who cares? There all been there for years, they hate along, pkay awful music on the overhead, talk about kids while they’re torturing you
No one cares.
I am a woman lawyer and just yesterday another lawyer in my office asked me to sit in on a meeting with an opposing counsel and take notes, not because he was trying to be demeaning or sexist but because he knew that I would take good ones and have insight afterwards about the meeting. I cannot abide this hyper feminist bs. There’s a job to be done. Do it. And do it without getting caught up in your feelings about “gender roles” and stereotypes. No one should consider themselves to be above a task because of their status or their gender. And yes, I even make coffee if it needs to be made.
This isn’t sexual harassment. The AI guy is secist. The fake AI woman doesn’t cope. HR is used as a fake interceded.
it is well known that women have significantly better handwriting than most men.
I fail to see how this comment was bad, it seems more like a compliment.
Agree you don’t tell the boss what your job is if you don’t like it move on.
An employee’s job is to do whatever the boss says that is legal and safe.
She missed the opportunity to be indispensable.
Instead she acted like a whinny brat. She will be shunned by others and eventually quit or be driven out, as she should be.
Small companies not subject to this kind of BS attract the 20% who do 80% of the work and can’t be promoted because they are white men.
That’s fine; they’ll make more money and have more freedom.
Yeah, I can’t imagine a woman ever being asked to take care of that cockroach problem in the basement.
If any person is too far above doing a task I might assign them, I don’t want them on the team.
If I say “scrub this toilet”, you have two choices: Scrub or leave.
‘I Refuse to Do a Secretary’s Job for Free Just Because I’m a Woman’.....’I’m 27F, a project engineer.’
I’d have suggested a different salary for taking notes.
And what corp. VP doesn’t have an assistant to do that ??
Hello, Mary:
You are a hypersensitive wench. Take the damn notes and shut up. Only a witch would go to HR over such a stupid issue. And btw, men get saddled with stuff that is viewed as male-appropriate.
HR is populated almost entirely of women ... feminist women.
