Gender Studies I

[Kepler]

Exhaustive, fascinating, and as always erudite.

New plant manager starting today, also looks like we found a candidate for EHS manager, both of which are men. I will be the only female on our management team. I get that manufacturing is still male dominated, but I find it interesting that our management team will be 12% female, whereas the rest of the office staff is 40% female. Granted, in my 5 years here, the most women we've had on the management team was 2, so it's not a big difference now, just a difference.

I'm not trying to imply my company did anything other than hire the best applicants they found. It's just for a corporation that talks big about D,E,I it's not visable at the plant level and it's not visable at the corporate level. POC on our management team, was 2 at one point, now it is 0. Again, I think we're hiring the best people we can, just sure lacks diversity in the office part of the plant.

D,E,I

Diversity, inclusion and... um... equality?

My old job:

High level management: 80% female
Program management: 70% female
Security: 80% female
Human resources: 100% female
IT: 10% female
Shipping & Receiving: 5% female
Bench engineering: 0% female

My current job?

Between 80 and 85% women.

Goes for the executive too.

Worst I've ever seen was at Dornier Aircraft in Munich in the late 90s. 400 engineers on the team designing the air vehicle (structure + subsystems); there was only 1 woman, and she was right out of college. Bavaria is basically the Jesus****istan of Germany, so not too surprising.

Care givers are expected to be women and gay men. It's why the pay is so low.

I was once the only male on my team of seven. Including my boss.

Now we're about 50:50 in my current role.

Texas agency: "we're so obsessed with enforcing the gender binary that we will punish employees who don't conform." And women are held to way more standards than men.

Perfect response by this interviewer to the, "But muh Jesus" argument against trans people/activism.

"Can it" is a pretty mild translation. "Ta guelue" uses both the informal form of "your" and the word for an animal's mouth, so this response is much more akin to a French way of saying, "Shut your dirty whore mouth".

At least with my job, I care for and supervise between 3-5 trans and non-binary kids. They're excited to have representation on campus and they think I'm Staff Mom.

Man, 3-5 kids sounds amazing. I’ve been watching 24 unruly (read: conduct disorder) teenage substance (ab)users for the past couple weeks. Most are court-ordered and don’t give a f-ck about anything other than getting high once they “pass” our program. Mentally exhausting. Been feeling like daycare for teenagers lately.

My wife’s Catholic, so…

Most of their parents are dead or in prison from their own drug use, so with grandma struggling with COPD and incapable of keeping little Johnny from going out at night and overdosing on fentanyl, they end up at my hospital. That, or they’re wards of the state and have been in and out of hospitals like mine for years, so they’re institutionalized.
