Maybe having an internship under their belts sends qualified grads in search of better jobs elsewhere. Or maybe once someone's already worked here they don't live up to our ridiculously high expectations for applicants.<br /><br />jc - great correction (though for MegaCorp adding the male before manager is entirely unnecessary). Also scary story. Did you lecture them in the history of secretaries and clerks who all used to be male before women began working? Frightening that these people are out there and verbalizing this stuff.FrauTechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312215415796165866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789440268562059889.post-34315071999106825062011-06-06T16:22:51.782-07:002011-06-06T16:22:51.782-07:00Oh, call me cynical... but it's easy to hire w...Oh, call me cynical... but it's easy to hire women in pink collar/office wife levels because they *pssssst* don't want silly widdle ladeez thinking that they can get hired straight away in a d00d's position! <br /><br />I'll fix this for you: ...but can't convince MALE managers to hire more experienced women CLOSER TO THEIR PAY GRADE BECAUSE THOSE WOMEN MIGHT GET PROMOTED FOR *COUGH* BEING WOMEN AND THE D00DZ CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN OR IMPENDING DOOM TO THE COMPANY.<br /><br />You will LOL at this. I was recently mansplained at that men "aren't good at typing and secretarial work because the keyboards are under the desk and too small for man hands." I swear to dog, I nearly needed oxygen. You can imagine the many ways I skewered the nitwit.<br />jcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789440268562059889.post-74635515464974333812011-06-06T10:25:34.690-07:002011-06-06T10:25:34.690-07:00Does MegaCorp have a strong trend of hiring primar...Does MegaCorp have a strong trend of hiring primarily from the intern pool? If so, maybe the female interns realize during the course of their internship that they don't like the corporate vibe they got while there (as I've heard female STEM friends say about particular massive companies).Miss MSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529587231142371243noreply@blogger.com
