Man and Woman in the Work Place

[BalthazarParticipant 722]

I was making a delivery to a warehouse the other day and felt it would be good to share this quick little anecdote. I’m pretty sure this is re-enacted over and over again across the western world, everywhere that women have moved into different types of work.

I back up to the loading dock with a bulk delivery. There is a man that’s from the boomer generation and an older millenial woman lesbian lady dressed up like a skater punk boy.

I start to unload and they both stand on the dock as if they’re going to alternate grabbing packages from me. The man assertively grabs every parcel and the skater boy lesbian steps back and lets him do it.

Equal work for equal pay right? haha

Some other examples from my own personal experience:

I worked for the federal government, as a laborer, at the Department of Public Works on a military base. They hire giving preference to groups that are under-represented compared to their demographic percentage in the general population. So basically, if you’re a woman, you’re hired.

I got assigned to organize and clean up a bunch of s~~~ in the equipment yard one day with a woman that weight about 90 lbs. She was literally, physically incapable of performing the job and yet there she was watching me do everything because she wasn’t able to help.

last one

i worked for a landscaping company where the boss decided to give his daughter a job for the summer. lo and behold he assigned her as my work partner. he would estimate jobs to be performed with x2 man hours because it was me and her. but more realistically it was like 1.25 man hours an hour with me and her together and i would have to make up for the extra .75.

thoughts? or your own personal examples of these capable, strong, hard working women?

This body holding me is a reminder of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember, we are eternal and all this pain is an illusion.

The one job where I reported to a female tech lead, had a female engineering director, and a female division president was the biggest s~~~show I have ever seen.

Everytime we would get close to a big development milestone they would change things, that would cause lots of work to have to be redone… Because someone had an idea for some new minor thing that HAD to be added.

When we would be on mandatory overtime to try and make our imaginary milestones, you never would see the female tech lead after 4:30 in the afternoon because kids, or dates, or hair appointments. She would frequently knit and not pay attention in meetings, then jump in at random points and waste huge amounts of time discussing pointless garbage.

That wasn’t even in a physically demanding job, but even then they still couldn’t pull their weight.

I cashed out my 401 and got the hell out of a job dealing with juveniles bc of females. I’m always getting stuck with mandatory overtime and not them bc they have kids. F~~~ my sick father who needs me though.

Only dude on shift which made it worse. Now I’m working half as much but still getting as much of not more with NO overtime.

Chicks made me work smarter, not harder.

Chase a check, never chase a chick...

I remember when I was in the Navy none of the women gave a s~~~ about doing their jobs. They’d come right out and say, “All I have to do is get pregnant and I can get out of the Navy.” Women are useless.

"Don't follow in my footsteps...I stepped in something."
