@Sheril Will McPhail always delivers the goods.
@Sheril very striking. I betcha the next question would be about pregnancy....
@Sheril LOL! it is obvious, she doesn't even have to say anything!
@Sheril ughhh. Me. Every interview. The only times I get an offer is if a woman is on the panel. So I refuse to interview if there is not a single female ✔️
@Sheril Description (Alt Text) can be improved a bit. All these white men are formally look the same, but behave very differently.
What seems to be common for all them that all they see this interview as a boring chore.
One read his phone, other, sleep, other sit in informal pose.
What is common between them is that they do not want anyone join to their organization. What they dream about is this formality to end sooner.
Such picture happens in frozen and dead organizations. (large corp & gov).
@Sheril
I get the point but I could not help but think ":first, I'd reduce the size of your hiring panels".
@Sheril Used to have the execs tour our worksite (like they had a clue what they were looking at 🙄). They all dressed the same, looked the same. White, 50ish, suit, tie, lame haircut, etc. They would follow their leader like baby ducks. We took to calling them "Copy and the Pastes".
@Sheril needs and expectations of morality, kindness, and equality along with a set income tied directly to the c-suites compensation packages.
@Sheril Much needed feminine touch! 😊❤️
@Sheril I always answer the question before they ask it.

@Sheril

Better hair, for a start!

"I will not spend my day golfing or at a strip club and call it work. Is that good enough ? Also, I will run circles around you in any business or engineering discipline you choose"

@Sheril This is rarely a thing at good tech companies. While there may be 6-12 people tag teaming interviewees. It's less about stupid questions like this and more about explaining the ARP protocol.

At one startup my qa director was an animal. She worked right up until her delivery. Had the kid over the weekend and came in the next Monday. Crazy.

@Sheril
My life as an engineer in the 80s and 90s!
@Sheril If you are a chef or a house repairman and an employer asks you for a CV you will know they are only interested in numbers.

@Sheril
That image reminds me of this video from Loboda, “Boom Boom.” I don’t understand the lyrics, but the gist, maybe.

It opens with a quote attributed to Simone De Beauvoir:

«La notion d’harmonie est une des clés de l’univers féminin:
Elle implique la perfection dans l’immobilité, la justification
immédiate de chaque élément à partir du tout et sa participation passive à la totalité…»
