Here's an interesting situation....
I'm in charge of hiring some temp worker to do some light assembly work for us. I posted the ad, put myself as a first contact and my boss as a second contact. Consistently, people are asking for him. I'm the first contact. Eight people have called, mostly girls, and seven of them have asked for him....Doesn't make any sense!!! UNLESS, it's because I'm a woman. It's like the weird situation in an office when a woman calls and is bossy to another woman but then sweet as pie to a man, even if he's in a less powerful position.
I'm not bitchy to people on the phone, or email or anything. I like it when they're bitchy to me because I can reply and be super sweet and nice and then maybe they regret being such assholes. Well probably not, but who cares? :)
I just think this is interesting...they assume he makes the ultimate decision and skip right over me? Our titles aren't listed in the ad we placed, we don't even list what company we are.
god i'm bored. i wish those people were calling me so i had something to do....
