They save the best for last.

And as to "You'll get the job because you're a woman", the multi-global corporation that exploits my labor forces managers-in-training to echo back: "All else being equal, we must always promote the woman or minority first."

In other words, she was being paid to be female. What a nothing job.

The same ol’ election year victimization's of non-white males just isn't making the grade—so the loonie left is going to have to come up with more make-believe to get Americans to vote for Osama bin Barrack!

That article was well written...for a girl! (ducking)

“I have a bone-us for you” - Not a good idea.

In other words, she was being paid to be female. What a nothing job.

And she does not have it any more.

"I had this manager who … started referring to me as 'honey,'" recalls May Snowden, former chief diversity officer for both Starbucks and Eastman Kodak Co.

So she had a do-nothing makework job and she's surprised her male underlings didn't respect her?

“So, did being a bitch help you land this job or have you just gotten better at it with age?”

[chickpundit]

Of all the things I could get upset about, being called “honey” is not one of them. It depends on the delivery, but honey is most often a term of endearment. Why are people so easily offended?

Do you mind if I call you Dick

Actually, it’s being paid to be a faultfinder. Most faultfinders do it for free.

Vast anti-white male conspiracy.....

Mostly BS, but occasionally a valid issue.

Would you like to have an officer selected on the basis of “diversity” to be appointed your son's or daughter's commanding officer or the most qualified????

Why would it be so different in the business community? It's only your bottom line on the line, instead of your actual bottom....

Foolishness and destructive practices when viewed closely.

On the other hand, I expect everyone to treat each other as they should be treated (as you would like to be treated-as long as you are a moral ethical decent person....)

"When are you due?"

Heh.

[PfromHoGro]

Or, due to the pervasiveness of the Offended Incorporated Thought Police, unleashed by Donna Shalala and her acolytes, be like me and don’t say anything to anybody.

It makes for a great work day... doesn’t it? /s

[Doohickey]

I’ve been called “honey”, “dear”, “sweetie”, etc. by women at work plenty of times. Some people are just like that. Clue: Don’t read anything into it that isn’t actually there.

“Iron my shirt.”

“I’ll bet you were kinda hot back in college.”

[Schnucki]

“You don’t sweat much for a fat girl.”
