You can get canceled for being white, male, normal or religious. You don’t have to do anything. Just existing.

So much for Democrats sticking together.
I guess some Democrats are more...uhhh...ummm...expendable than others.

Should have already been fired for American Indian cultural appropriation.

If a female approaches you for something work related, cut them off and request they send you an e-mail and let them know you’ll respond via e-mail. Then, keep the e-mail response strictly about the subject.


Won’t work; the lionesses would then accuse them of creating a hostile workplace and lack of cooperation. I say this as a woman. HR departments are the devil.

I agree, and would add that his comments are the reason why people see the need to write, direct, and produce movies like Barbie.

Meh. So you get called in to HR. Standard response should be, “I'm a bit overloaded, don't have time for random chit-chat. I'm happy to assist with whatever is needed but I need it in an e-mail to facilitate my process.

It is hard for a guy who has played sports to listen to a woman who has never played football, baseball or basketball in a men’s league commenting on the games. They have not experienced the game as a guy. There are there to attract male viewers because they are eye candy.

Oh, please, short of having a gun held to her head, how would a woman be forced to pose nude?

I don't know. Maybe hidden cameras in the dressing rooms?

Ridiculous advice.

I’m a female executive. I have male co-workers on all tiers that I interact with daily (organizationally subordinates, laterals, and superiors). Most of my client groups contain men.

In my last position, every person who answered directly to me was a man. I had no difficulty whatsoever earning their trust and respect. I listened to their concerns, addressed them as a team, made sure they had the training and equipment necessary to be successful in their position, and rewarded them with recognition and financial compensation for a job well done. When one of my staff retired, he gave me the first and only hug and told me it was a pleasure working with me and that I was the sharpest, most considerate boss he ever had.

I’m focused on business; in my interactions, I keep the focus on business. I don’t tell baudy jokes, don’t engage in office gossip, and treat those around me with dignity and respect.

Only people who don’t possess a professional skill set will use alternate currency (looks, flirting, ego, network, manipulation) to get ahead. They are liabilities and should be weeded out immediately. If the boss is the issue, find another job.

But by all means, if this counter-productive approach works for you, have at it. I would not encourage any other woman to behave in this manner in the workplace.

🙋👍 I well remember them and listened every day back then. It was painful and tragic when the wife died.I remember that episode where he recapped . They were in Ocean City, Md on vacay.

After all that he & Mike went their own way and i heard Don had left & went down to Fla.
I wonder how Bart is doing & what he is up to after all these years.

Congratulations on your career success. You seem to be offended by what I wrote. I suggest you read my post again.

You can’t even joke around anymore. I guess the communists have won.

I’m not offended; I find your advice to be ill-informed and illogical.

The female in this situation was not the one behaving like a boorish dolt, the man was, so it doesn’t even fit for this scenario since they are not co-workers.

If any member of my team acted the way you suggest, I would think they have a screw loose and are an operational risk.

You’re entitled to your opinion. Perhaps my professional experience differs from yours.
