"a female manager in her 20s, who criticized Arzino's work, telling her, among other things, that she should take ginkgo biloba, an herbal memory tonic, and turn up the volume on her Miracle Ear."
Ordinarily I might sympathize with a company who is held responsible for something that ONE manager did but in this case you have to wonder how a company could be foolish enough to give a women like this who is only in her 20's that kind of power - you suspect she had to be related to someone in power to have climbed to a management position at that age with such a hateful outlook.
20 is the new 40.
Well, there are two other ways she could have gotten the manger's position. One is, she was qualified. That doesn't seem to be the case. The other involves extreme friendliness with a male superior.
So what, are you telling me that, when I was 19 and an instructor at a nuclear power plant, supervising officers and enlisted alike (as an enlisted man, by the way) during nuclear power plant operations, that I shouldn't have been doing that simply because of my age? Got it, I will tell the Navy that only older people are allowed to train and operate their nuke plants....they may be able to run one with those requirements.
Or had "relations" with someone in a management position.
Gender quotas. Only a person who did not earn their position could treat their employees with such utter disdain.
