So, I Was Sharing With My Husband...

[KidGrind]

Kind of reminds me of something my husband has observed. He has two jobs. At one it is mostly women and they are in charge. It is so frustrating for him sometimes because he says in a lot of those situations a man will just fire people that aren't working out but the women have to have 'a meeting' to discuss it and try to find ways to work it all out. A man just fires people.

He is not trying to be sexist but it is what it is.

I cannot disagree with your husband’s experience. My experience has been different. I’ve worked in an environment where it was less then 5% female. Some men met or conferenced in order to make decisions about the plan of action in dealing with personnel. Others made quick, no turning back decisions regarding personnel. My experience vs. your DH’s leads me to believe it’s more about personality & managing style than gender.
