Departmental Diversity Council

7/7/2012

0 Comments

 
Back in the day, when diversity was just heating up, I was the only female engineer in the department.  One would think that would open doors to me on an Engineering Council for Diversity.  Bah!  You would have to think, wouldn't you?

The diversity council was comprised of all men from the department.  There was no room for me.  I asked.

One of the men resigned from the company, which left an opening on the diversity council.  I asked to be put on it as the only woman in the department in engineering.  It seemed a proper course of action.  Again, I was denied.  Another man was put on the council.  A firm statement of they had who they needed on it was issued and there was no room for me.

I didn't understand his decision but this manager was a few levels above me so it didn't seem fitting to inquire further.  After all, I was just a token.

Perhaps there was a good and valid reason for me to be shut out.  Maybe they needed to decide what kind of underpants are best.  I prefer Jockey sport for the breathable mesh and secure H-fly support.
