The same goes for women in general and taking measurements. Typically our female hires were problems from day one until they quit because 4 times out of 5, they simply couldn't take reliable measurements and consider three dimensions.

:blink:

Oh, come off it.

"Waah you can't talk that way, it's offensive!"

Well, fuck you. They took wrong measurements, didn't consider objects that would hinder, you know, opening drawers and doors and cost a fucking fortune in replacement products and extra trips for the carpenters. One out of five I worked with could actually do the job, and another sold so well that the added cost was worth it, but the other three were completely and utterly useless.

Now, to be fair, this could be said about a lot of the men hired as well, but at least typically they were able read the scale of a folding ruler.

I just find it hard to believe that that is so very difficult it is the reason for 4 of 5 people had to quit.

All 5 of them quit or got fired within 2 years and in all 5 cases it was some variation on not being able to actually do the job. The two who could actually function eventually quit over the stress, and the three who were completely useless were fired within 6 months. Maybe we just got unlucky with them, but I don't think it's too controversial to note that women typically have a poorer spatial sense than men and will generally have a harder time with this kind of job not only because of the physical and mental stress but also because of the difficulty of performing the technical functions.

Sales is well paid for a reason.

Sometimes scantily clad women who can't measure can't make the sale. Namely to gay men. That's where Slargos and his pink shirt comes in ;) :D

Meh?

I would up the ante and jump on that grenade by adding something really crassly anti-semitic about your kid, but even I have barriers I won't cross.  :hmm:
