Girls' fight is over!

As I was having dinner with an ol' friend from prepa LLG yesterday night at a terrible Thaï restaurant by les Champs Elysées, she and I've had a very interesting conversation about the balance or should i say unbalance between women and men in some job areas. We particularly focused in Finance where she exposed to me the following facts:

- Most banks regret not having more women on the trading floor and curiously enough many banks admit that their most successful traders are actually women!

- In all other branches and in other job areas, surveys show that if very few women climb all the way to the top of the corporate ladder, they don't unfortunately help other women do the same. On the contrary, competition and rivalry tend to be even fiercer between women than between a man and a woman.

- As a consequence, areas where you already have few females like Finance or Consulting won't get any better despite the firms' striving to hire and promote more female employees. Indeed, haven't you notice that if you take the ratio female/male at  entry level positions, that ratio would just worsen at senior level positions (even if we take out those retiring for family purposes)?

- So I'm asking y'all women or girls out there: If we can't stop staring at each other (sometimes with envy) in the subway, If we can't stop taking the other girl (other than friend or family) as a rival, If we can't stop fighting over a handbag sale or even over a Karl Lagerfeld piece at H&M, at LEAST can we stop holding ourselves down !?!?!?

Time when we would ask for more male colleagues' recognition is over. Now, Time has come for us women to help each other. Because after all, even if neither men, nor L'Oréal tell us loud enough, "We are worth it!"

Cheers,

-Sam

"Time has come for us women to help each other"

Super!!!

et la mise en pratique version SAM:

Par ailleurs, désolée je ne serai pas des votres ce soir (je sais...Grande surprise!!) mais je suis particulièrement étonnée qu'une certaine demoiselle trop malade pour ne pouvoir que travailler de chez elle (n'est ce pas?) trouvera toutefois les forces de sortir pour aller boire un verre!!!

Faut croire que personne n'a compris que cetait pour blaguer...sans doute a cause du fait que je n'interviens pas souvent dans les vannes des spams habituels comme certains autres...lol
