and again, for the second time in my two jobs i get informed by my boss that he would have preferred not iring a female, had told HR that specifically. Though reasons here are slightly different tey are still irritating, bugging and demeaning.
I mean WTF do u mean by that eitherway? apparently women cant stay back late.methinks me will leave early everyday justy to support that belief.
And also act ditzy.
ah..and what about wearing clothes like Bridget Jones?

chauvinists are everywhere
And they initially wanted me to leave office by 930 pm latest even if i wanted to work, because they did not want to be responsible for women staying late..in any respect.
dont recruit of you cant respect is what i say.
worst are those women who want this behavior from men. Believe me, there are many.
not to mention the lawsuit ill win because he wants me to work extra hours without pay!
Further you cannot hope to win a case against harassment even in the US on the chosen grounds.
However i reiterate that the remarks are out of place in the present world, but unfortunately are not actionable.
am trying to imagine a reverse situation.. Gosh! i fully empathise..
this is terribly WRONG!
to reply to ur comment. well its a vicious cycle. because of differentiation the 'fairer sex' will use whatever advantage comes its way. IT is like occupying the ladies' seats in a bus.
What I would like to mention to sashdude also is that its not about wanting/ not wanting to work late. Its about presumption. If you are ready to employ me, you should be ready to accept certain things. Yes, you ahve to arrange for night travel, (ull have to do it for men also someday) but the point is, ask whether the person wants it or not. Ask if staying back is fine or not.
In the first place you are asking someoen to work past the official working hours. Its a different matter that usually ppl dont complain/ mind it. You eitherway need to provide extra benefits for that - many companies offer dinner etc. Women may need a drop home - hey its not their fault or choice if 12 in the night is not safe. That does not mean they will stop working... if you cant handle it, dont employ.
but the basic requirement in such a scenario is - ask. Poitely ask, during interview or even after joining. do not assume certain things like this - its personal prefernce, and heaven knows i know enough men who run home at 6pm on the dot becase they want to be home. They never stay back. Its a onder they are not asked or black marked because they dont stay back.
All im saying is, its all a matter of asking the convinience and not presuming it. YOu dont even know the person to base your presumption on.
now as for ur boss..who is an absolutely #$@$^%#%^&**)^#$@%@# .. he deserves much more than your leaving early. Let's plot something against him :D Life mein excitement?
And yes....dont worry JM, he'll soon realise that he lives in stone age!
Btw, pls remove the duplicate copy of the post.
