Duncan Posted January 12, 2005 This is weird. So yesterday I called up this hotel, which shall remain nameless to apply for this job as a generic hotel lackey-type person. So I get through to this woman and I say I'm interested in this job. She asks me why I'm interested and I tell her that I just love crappy jobs and I can't get enough of them, really. She asks, would I like to know more about the job? I think no, I already know everything I need to, but I say yes anyway. She goes on for about two minutes and I remain politely silent. This is going somewhere, I promise. So then she says "Well, to be honest...", and I see where it's going and realise I'm probably not getting this job. I don't. Guess why. It's because - get this - because I'm not female, and therefore don't have a natural attention to detail. I am not making this up, that's what she said. A natural attention to detail. Fucking hell. Yesterday I was enjoying the whole thing because, well, it was funny. Now I'm kinda bitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intrepid Homoludens Posted January 12, 2005 So you're not gonna report her? Aren't there laws where you are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Posted January 12, 2005 It's more of a self-policing country. (I don't actually care that much...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intrepid Homoludens Posted January 12, 2005 You don't care, huh? I guess perhaps the next guy she discriminates against won't care, either. And the next guy after that. [shrugs] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Posted January 12, 2005 I'm hardly being told to sit at the back of the bus. It's more a case of one person being weird rather than anything serious or harmful and I don't think it requires vindication or civil disobedience on my part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
