I have a major gripe. Female non-managerial staff have to take turns to do lunch reception duty (to relief the receptionist during her one-hour lunch break) but male non-managerial staff don’t. It’s a ridiculous policy which reeks of sexism.
I sent an email asking HR if there was a special reason for the exclusion of this duty. And the answer I get is: “Not being sexist, but I guess it’s been known that Females (not sure why the “F” was capitalized” in that) are better suited for this?”
The words on the right side of the comma just about nullifies everything that was written on the left side. So answering a few phone calls and pressing a button to allow people to enter through the glass door IS rocket science. Woohoo, I never knew we women were so smart and accorded with such superior intelligence.
