- Human Resources had already approved the hiring of Maria to work as an administrative secretary.
- One day before showing up, via WhatsApp, the future boss told him not to go and explained the reasons.
- “I saw your status ‘Ni una menos’, you are a green scarf and you were going to come to a very macho environment. Don’t show up.”
A woman named María made a complaint through the networks in relation to a hiring for a job that was frustrated because, according to what she said, she is a “feminist.”
Say what They did not take her at a car dealership in Argentina one day after starting work because whoever was going to be her boss stalked her WhatsApp status.
The day before he was going to show up for work for the first time, the man told him not to go because he was going to get into “a very macho environment.”
“Maria, hello. Excuse me, but I’ll be honest. I saw your status “Not one less”, you are a green handkerchief [así dijo exactamente] and you were going to come to a very macho environment (car dealership). There the boys make jokes that you always take very sensitively, all to hell”.
That is the beginning of the message that the woman received on WhatsApp a day before she was due to report to work and that was published by TN.
Successful job interview is frustrated by being “green scarf”
Maria had a successful job interview and was chosen among many other women for the position of administrative secretary.
However, although the human resources managers believed her suitable for the job, who was going to be her boss, had a different opinion after seeing her WhatsApp status.
This is how he continued explaining the reason for the decision:
“If we say ‘good morning’, you believe and think ‘he wants to fuck me’. If we say ‘how can I help you’, you think ‘this is an abuser’. So I prefer to look for another style of woman, what would be for you ‘one oppressed by the patriarchy’”, the subject expanded.
The best decision or the simplest?
In the end, before clarifying that he would not start work the next day, who was going to be his boss apologized and explained that he believed he had made the best decision to avoid future problems.
“Forgive me, but I know how to avoid future conflicts and make you suffer future troubles for these boys that I have, whom you surely feel like macho oppressors,” he concluded.
Without a doubt, whoever was going to be the boss chose the simplest path. Instead of training the male workers on gender issues and asking them to respect their new colleague’s thoughts and feelings, he told her not to be part of the team.
