So... uh... this is going to sound rather juvenile after a cancer rant, but here goes.
I mentioned in another thread that a female friend of mine started working here, then left after one week. During this week I mentally noted (but did not say out loud) that she apparently has lost some weight, and is looking very trim and fit these days. Probably has something to do with her impending wedding next year. Anyway, she left the company.
Also last week, I happened to run into another female colleague from my company, someone from our sales department. We were in a train station, I was visiting a nearby shop with my wife, while my colleague was there to pick up her boyfriend. I noted that she was quite dolled up for the occasion. My guess was that they're in a long-distance relationship, and that she wanted to look her best when he arrived. So we exchanged brief pleasantries, and then went our separate ways, and then a couple of days later it's announced that she, too, has left the company.
Last Friday, I noticed that a third female colleague, a resource manager, was dressed in a rather flattering skirt, one that showed off her legs very nicely. Today, Monday, the company announced that she's left.
Finally, last month, a relative newcomer at our company came to me to ask a question about the translation software. I helped her out, she thanked me with a smile, and I noticed (but did not say out loud) that she has a really cute smile. A couple of days later, she left the company.
Maybe this is cognitive bias, maybe not. But right now it looks like "bhamv finds you attractive" is a death-knell for any female who wants to work here.
wtf Costco?
