I work in a STEM field that is largely field work although not super physical, it just mostly requires lots of walking, stairs, and climbing. Its also rotating shifts days and nights, weekends, and holidays, so as you could imagine, not very desirable hours, especially for someone with a family, but we are well paid so I don’t mind it.
Its also a very male dominated place. Since I’ve been there, they have hired about 20 other people in my department, 3 of which have been female. One of them was doing awful in her initial training and left halfway through. One of them got through her initial training and was a lazy sack of s~~~ that made almost no progress at all on her qualifications after a year on the job, so they fired her. Most people are done with that s~~~ in about 10-14 months and she was maybe 5% done and that is being generous, she’d just sit in one of the spare offices and play on her phone all the time but she was a female and a minority so she got away with it for a long time. The other went out on maternity leave halfway through her initial training, so she had a couple months off with pay, then came back and basically did nothing for 10 months while waiting for the next class as they generally run one once a year. She’s back on track now…but still…she basically milked the company for a years pay in which she was completely useless.
So basically women in STEM…0 for 3 in the last couple years at my job lol. Maybe .5 for 3 because the one with the kid seems halfway decent, she’s just way behind everyone else who got hired at the same time. One of the other departments hired 2 about the time they hired me. One of them milked the place for about a year for her training/qual process then quit soon as they put her on shift because she didn’t want to work nights or weekends. She knew when they hired her that was part of the job…just milked the place for a year then said see ya lol. The other is pretty good. So women in STEM…1.5 out of 5…and one of them is getting married soon to a dude who makes nice money so she will probably be gone or out on multiple baby leaves in the next few years.
Men hired in that same time…we’ll just say 20. Two of them are lazy morons that probably won’t last long, and one guy was so clueless nobody could figure out how he actually got a degree and they moved him out to a different department. Men in STEM…that ratio is like 17 out of 20. Basically why shoot for a 20% success rate with longevity while hiring females when you can get an 80% success rate with longevity with men? Especially in a field that requires some on the job training and qualifications…hiring women simply has a greater chance of being nothing but a loss of money for the company…but should a company come forth with statistics proving this and refusing to hire women…they’re sexist!
5 years after graduation, only about 35% of female medical school graduates (nationally) were practicing medicine full time.
It confuses the f~~~ out of me every time I see an attractive female working in the medical field doing something that is above the level of RN while wearing a wedding ring. Did they marry up but just haven’t pulled the plug on their career yet, or did they marry some Chad who just sponges off them lol. I know one woman who works in the medical field probably making 200-250k per year and she has a stay at home husband, only he doesn’t cook, clean, or do a very good job with the kids…he just f~~~s around with his boat, truck, and goes on several hunting trips a year. Guys got it made! Wish I could find me a sugar momma like that, then divorce rape her if she stepped out of line lol.
