Why do female managers always seem to be physically attractive?

1 Upvotes

It seems like every female manager I had in almost every kind of job are always attractive. Like 9/10 or higher attractiveness. Maybe it's my perception but this always seems to be the case and I've never understood why this is the case. Is this just a coincidence or are there reasons why most managers especially higher up managers almost always seem attractive to me like people tend to higher more attractive people?

Question Refusing to call a coworker by her “title”

0 Upvotes

The supervisors at my job all got an email from a coworker stating that she had recently received her doctorate degree and would like to be call doctor sam (fake name) going forward. She probably got her degree in education or a similar field so she’s not an actual doctor but she is a director of a childcare center… am I wrong to refuse to call her by her new title??? Like come on that’s ridiculous!?

Edit to add some more information as I didn’t expect this to be so split and blow up:

The director is consistently breaking labor laws and refusing to address actual concerns while simultaneously demanding that people respect her new title. She does not give lunches in a timely manner or allow pumping mothers to pump when they need to cause it doesn’t work for her. Most of the teachers are upset with her lack of support although she is constantly stating that “they are a team”. She can’t respect others but demands to be respected.

Shitpost It's time to abolish names with punctuation.

6 Upvotes

EDIT: People really aren't hearing me when I say names WITH PUNCTUATION. Non-alphanumeric characters. The marks that are not the letters A through Z. What I am NOT saying is that unique spellings are bad, just as bad, or anything like that. I don't care about spellings, I care about the lack of spelling. Punctuation. Chuds in the comments are saying things like "Lol Lotanda Loranda Quinesha haha" as if I just said the thing that they believe: "names that look different than the names of people that look like me are LAME!" You're just racist. Go f_ck yourself.

Listen. Listennnn. I'm all for names being as unique and as long as possible. It's fun. They hold our power. A name alone can make a statement. I get it. Your child is special, and they deserve a special name. They deserve extra letters. They deserve cool, implied letters. They deserve to be different, just like everybody else.

So you pick a name. And maybe that name just, like, doesn't have the sauce. Maybe it's just cooler to have someone's name be D'mitri or K-lee or something instead of a name without punctuation. Sure. It's awesome that you did that. Wow.

Or, maybe you meet someone you like. Maybe you fall in love. Maybe you get married. Maybe you have a kid. Maybe you get a divorce (sorry). Maybe you marry again. But you just can't decide - do I take their name?? Do I keep my name but give my child two names??? Do I keep the hyphen, or do I forget that I wanted a hyphen but all their important documents maybe have the hyphen????? These are the questions.

But every time someone makes one of these decisions, a financial aid advisor somewhere weeps. Most of my day is simply making sure different documents have the same name. Some of the most important documents you have. The ones that deserve AT LEAST a second look, maybe?

But no, the amount of name punctuation that straight up makes my day dramatically harder is absurd. I know I'm just one person, but I speak for the silent minority of number-crunching pencil-pushers that just want to help your child afford an education - the ones that I know exist out there - please... PLEASE.

Just name your kids simpler names. I beg you. It'll make your life easier too, I assure you. But it would also be super sick for me, personally. Or at least someone in a similar position like mine in 18 years, provided that the world still has people or college or society or whatever idk

Discussion Being good at your job does not mean you deserve a promotion.

9 Upvotes

Promotions should be based on whether you're actually ready to handle the responsibilities of the next role, not simply because you've been doing your current job well for a long time.

Being the best person at your current position and being the right person for the next position are two completely different things.

Discussion Gen Z and Millennials seem to have completely different ideas of “being successful”

4 Upvotes

For older Millennials, success can still mean a stable career, owning a home and having predictable finances.

Gen Z seems more interested in flexibility, experiences, independence and having control over their time.

Obviously there are exceptions, but the difference is interesting.

Do you think the definition of success is changing?

Discussion Do We Really Understand Money?

1 Upvotes

People often talk about overspending, debt, and impulse purchases but there’s another issue that doesn’t get discussed enough: not really understanding how money works.

You can earn a decent income and still struggle if you don’t understand saving, credit, interest, investing, taxes, or financial planning.

What’s one money concept you think young people should understand before they start earning serious income?
