Terminal Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Women are right bitches with each other in the workplace. Even more so at higher levels where they’re fighting to be mother hen. I can only imagine what it’s like in that structure chart. There’ll be plenty of clucking going on.

Roger Mexico Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 It interesting that it's the most vehement defenders of the Manx government who seem most disconcerted by the all-female lineup on that chart[1] - even though it's in a sector where there have traditionally been a high number of woman managers (eg matrons). Somehow you can't help feeling that an all-male line-up would have agitated them less. [1] It's also got to be pointed out that Paula Primrose is actually a member of Treasury not DHSC, Clair Conie is part of the Office of Human Resources in the Cabinet Office and (as the chart says) Henrietta Ewart and her Department are now also in the CO. So it's six out of six, not nine out of nine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in my case I'm afraid, and not in the case of CEO's over the years. the all female line up seems to have come in more with DA. Don't know why. 1 hour ago, Roxanne said: It's all about whom you appoint and who's in charge. Exactly, and some of that is about who knows who I guess. So many have come and gone that some that staff don't know who is who sometimes. Confusion and disorientation resulted. That has had a detrimental effect. I think DA has played a good game though in letting others do some of the heavy lifting. It's time the health services came back under the ownership of the people who fund it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you mean the 1922 vampire movie Nosferatu, I alway think of Max Schreck as Count Orlok looks more like DA.

If hissingsid was around it would probably have been him, but it's not a surprise that the fuckwit said it. It's actually basic stuff really. If you put up a chart like thay of any organisation these days and it was exclusively men there would be comments made to that effect. And there may well be a point in those comments too. I'm not into the mindset that everything needs to be half and half. But the structure there being purely women isn't a good thing. We all miss Sid.

the stinking enigma Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Judging by the amazing amount of knowledge you have, on all subjects then i think it was a bit cruel of you not to impart it upon us sooner. Must have taken remarkable restraint on your part 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
