woolybanana Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Clearly that is what happens when you have a woman in charge! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'd like to see a management list from every business in France. Can we also see a list of all French companies that were charged a similar fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I was watching part of a docu on how the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine was developed. Alas, couldn't watch it all because it was past my bed time.Certainly the first half an hour or so featured a team of brilliant women; head of research, head of manufacture, head of testing etc etc. The whole set up however seemed to have a man at its head! Seems to be like that quite often. For example, there was a man who headed the General Nursing Council in England and Wales and this, of course, is a profession that employs predominantly women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith-aka-Judith Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Mint, been like that almost all the way through my career, also in a profession dominated by women, took ages to get a woman at the head of the professional association, and even now there are more men than women who get there .. yes, I begin to think we should fine them if companies have a very large gender imbalance, though I have not until now been in favour of positive discrimination, it is also evident that during Covid it is once again women who have lost most rather than men.

Catalpa Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 [quote user="woolybanana"]Judith, how do you know that wimmin have lost out over men during COVID?[/quote]It's a trend that has been widely reported in the UK (in part because of the make up of the job market there) but is an effect less seen in France - so far.For eg:https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/future-of-work/covid-19-and-gender-equality-countering-the-regressive-effectsOr shorter version with fewer charts...https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20201021-why-this-recession-disproportionately-affects-women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
