[QUOTE="Alsos, post: 1073785, member: 8894"] After she threw up her hands in defeat over a task she should have been able to do, and I gave her some suggestions to get her back on track, one of my female coworkers ends up getting interviewed in our shop by local TV news for her take on women in STEM careers. I tried not to listen. What I heard anyway made me want to beat my head against the wall. Nothing really awful, just mind-numbingly shopworn lines about male-dominated professions and "girls can do this stuff too". Thankfully I didn't hear anything about a "wage gap", or I would have probably burst out laughing instead. Afterwards she spent the last hour of her day looking at some listicle site's 'cutest foxes in the world' and shopping on Etsy. As usual. [/QUOTE]
