71. Women on help desks know their stuff!
:grr:

I worked for a large nationally well known company that favors MEN!! :grr:

In a room of over 100 MALE techs, I was one of FOUR women!! And this was in the north east,

where technology companies and schools abound! They would hire 'newbies' (20 yr olds) and give

them the better hours, after they were trained etc. Trust me, I know because I trained THEM

and then watched them get MY hours!! :grr: I watched while the company walked into another dept.

and fired all 50 of the e-commerce people on the spot! When outsourcing became so rampant, the

tech companies were hiring CS Engineers, at really low pay, for the help desk jobs, because the

engineers were out of work and cheap and then booting the former workers into help desk support

or customer service. Don't go trashing women! It's the companies causing that!!
