I'm sorry if there are people who feel this way.

'specifically hired overweight older women for all of the administrative staff because he knew this would minimize the risk of sexual harassment lawsuits'

I honestly cannot believe this mindset exists, that's insane. Basing hiring decisions like this is redic. It also assumes overweight older women are not attractive, and idk whether they've seen porn website stats but that's a flawed assumption.

'plus, from a outside perspective, a male boss working closely with a younger female is always going to raise eyebrows, even if their relationship is purely work/professional.'

Hard disagree.

No training needed, just treat us like fellow human beings. It's not a high bar.

What the heck.

As a (trans) woman who is non-tech in a tech company I find this stat concerning.

Just talk to me like a I'm a fellow human, it's not that hard!

PS; not too sure what 'working alone' means in terms of a common work activity?
