The Penis Club, LC Division (shout out to Ang & Allie)

[maderr]

So the boss was in tonight, and after lecturing everyone on this and that about the store, he wanders up to the front of the store to "check on things." So begins the mutual 'ego stroking' b/t the boss and two of his workers. He made a comment about how smoothly the store was running, and so began the strokefest. To hear them tell it everything female in the store is purely decorative. Nevermind that it took all three of them to do a job that I can do solo, or that while they were stroking Becca was running the store even though she wasn't the manager that night. Neither was I, but nevertheless I was still picking up his (C's, who was the manager tonight) slack.

I know I must sound like a man hater or something, but I'm not. But I get sick of doing all the work and doing it at least twice as well only to have the boss come in and promptly ignore all my efforts. Without the HM and the assistants that acutally work (all female) that store would have bombed a long time ago. But we're not part of the Penis Club, so clearly we don't count.

They sound completely blind, but people to do tend to see what they want to see. That is a shame.
I'll kill them in effigy for you in this videogame.

I have not encountered this problem. But the majority of the places where I've worked where things have been run well, women were in charge to some degree. I once had a boss who was basically Christopher Walken from Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead. If you haven't seen that movie, I'll tell you that means the job was very bad. I especially liked the "you are worthless and easily replaced" motivational speeches.
