VP of HR so the over-promoted clerical assistant who gets the coffee and biscuits at meetings then :-)


I imagine you don't mean this and ended up doing this by accident because you didn't bother to research the person at all, but this comment ends up being unbelievably sexist.

I would like to have an interesting and informed discussion, but that requires that the other participants do some basic reading before making snide remarks.


I don't believe he made any reference to the sex of the VP of HR, either explicitly or grammatically...


That's why I took so much trouble to give him the benefit of the doubt, because it probably was accidental.


Calling me "unbelievably sexist" is giving me the benefit of the doubt - so what do you say if you really dont like some one then

And you made assumptions about my gender - Check Your privilege mate.


I called your comment that, and I stand by it.

If you can't separate your individual self from a comment you've written, that's your own problem.


That must have been exhausting.


A CA is not a gendered grade I think it is you who are being sexist by assuming that I meant a female secretary here.


You are referring to a woman, as the person in question is female. I assumed you didn't know this and that's why I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but in that context the comment ends up being sexist.


You keep using that word... I don't think it means what you think it means.
