Quote:There's a similar situation in my work place. A 30-year-old female who paints her clothes on. She is routinely given waaaaaay more flexibility in her work situation than anyone else. She's a divorced mother of two who doesn't hesitate to leverage her children for special treatment but doesn't blink about using family for babysitting service while she gallivants on trips to Hawaii, New York, and California that her fairly well-to-do father picks up the tab for. Extended travel assignments that everyone else has to endure? Fugetaboutit. Another coworker brought up the apparent inequality of treatment to management. He was sat in the Director's office and told that he should know women always get treated better and to not worry about it, 'if you know what I mean'. As a middle-aged hottie who I'm friends with explains it, "men are stupid". Yes, yes we are.
