When this modern wave of feminist stuff first got heavy in the last 55-60 years it was secretaries refusing to get the boss coffee, there was story after story about that growth in the workplace.
Damn whiner.
Imagine if the following was said...
“Men are much better at_____________”
I mean it’s not like he asked her to iron his shirt.
If men can lose his job over comments like that, it is all over for men in businesses. HR will ultimately put themselves out of a job when it all collapses.
I’ll take things that never happened for $1,000.
“Let’s imagine...”
Typical female: Speculusion. They speculate then make conclusions using the fantasy.
eHem: Estrogen Mayhem.
“””I was a lead engineer working for a VP, he would volunteer to be the note taker in meetings. His philosophy was that the note taker controlled the agenda. I became the meeting note taker and was promoted accordingly.”””
I agree. I was also a note taker and was promoted accordingly over those who liked to talk, talk, talk at meetings.
Why go through the cost and effort to produce a 30 minute or one hour television special when you can throw out 10 stories, some of which the newly indignant will share with others?
I'd categorize this story as One-That-Never-Happened.
I can see something like this happening and it isn’t fair to the woman. Its not a huge Feminist issue but people should be mindful of things like this. Its like when bosses ask people who aren’t married to stay late or work on holidays all the time because they don’t have a family.
“Women are best at it.”
That was a stupid thing to say. About the only thing a man can say that is true and unchallengeable is that women are the best at birthing children. Outside of that, they’re in unchartered territory.

“Women take better notes“
This guy should have been fired for incompetence.
How can women take the best notes? How can they possibly hear everything that’s going on from the kitchen?
Typical liberal women’s over reaction. Besides, it was not for free she was getting paid. She should have given the gift and note back to him, tell him that she was hired to be a lead engineer and not a secretary, and record it. If he blew a gasket, she would have it recorded and then go to HR. This is an unusual case. In my experience HR departments usually side with the boss, or attempt to placate the employee and do nothing at all. And since she said he ASKED her to take notes and did not demand it he should not have been fired. Imho.
That boss is an idiot. I am not sure how he’s survived in his job long enough to have subordinates. The crap he allegedly pulled wouldn’t have flied in the 1990s, let alone 30 years later.
Wow… what a child without the skills to just talk to him first .
Not the type of person one wants in their company,
It’s a fake story. Never happened. Work of fiction.
This was something else.
Idiot boss.
How many female Secretary of States are there? At least one for every blue state and probably some in the red states too. They love their jobs, however ‘secretarial’.
Who’s better at taking notes Male or Female?
Doesn’t matter - Have the meeting recorded, and use Copilot to create a transcription, summary of the meeting including action items, and then send tasks for follow up.
