[Politics] Women paid extra to wear skirts to work...

[Goldstone1976]

In order to get the extra payment, the women have to wear a skirt or dress that's no longer than 5cm from the knee.

How do they prove it? Simple - they send the company a photo.

Questioned on why the company had introduced the "femininity marathon", they answered: "We wanted to brighten up our work days, our team is 70% male. These kinds of campaigns help us switch off, rest. This is a great way to unite the team."

It's ok though. If a woman doesn't feel like doing that, she can always enter the dumpling-making competition.

Apparently, the CEO "...really wants to maintain the female essence in every female employee of the company, so that young women do not have male haircuts, do not change into trousers, so that they engage themselves in handicraft, project all their warmth into raising children."

Kin Hell.

You've dealt with them? Genuine question.

No, but I heard they deal in Tat.

Wouldn't be allowed if we were still in the EU......







.....oh........

Oh. Russia.

Do they win a vibrator if they hit their sales targets?

 

[Goldstone1976]

No, but I heard they deal in Tat.

Thanks for the gentle way of telling me I'd been whooshed...!

A friend of mine went for a job interview last week in a smart trouser suit and didn't get the gig because "she wasn't wearing a dress". Apparently, that's not looking professional.

This was in London. In 2019 - although it appears to be 1959 at this company

You seriously think they'd allow the girls to do something important like selling? Tsk.

Christ alive. Any mitigating circumstances at all? I'm struggling to think of any - perhaps being interviewed for modelling a fashion house's dress collection? Though she could change into one there... Nah, I'm struggling.

Yeah, but this isn't...

Doesn’t surprise me. It may be 2019 but this is a world where people voted Leave and support Trump. We are going backwards, not forwards .

I once applied for a job in London and got told by the bloke that he was interested but I'd have to shave the beard before he would take me away for "business trips". Lost my interest in the job rapidly.

But come to think of it, at least he didn't want me to wear a dress.

No, this was for a PR company. My friend is 50 this year, has three kids and has run her own business in the past - she exudes professionalism but apparently professional expertise takes second place to dress sense in this firm.

Simply inexcusable.

A PR company with no sense of the PR impact they'd suffer should she decide to go public...
