Mini Rant

Mini rant

Ok so my job is fairly simple. Here's a person, find out how to find them. My beef isn't with my job (this time). Instead it is with the male dominated corporate world. Now I know you're all saying "but we have equal opportunity in business now.". Well you would be very wrong.

I work finding information about the big guys in business (and yes 'guys' was purposely used). I find the C.E.O.'s, the C.F.O.'s, members of the board, among other high level positions. What I'm not finding is many X.X. (as in chromosome). It's a little discouraging when I think about it. It also pisses me off a little. Ok a lot. Almost always, I only see a woman as "Executive Assistant to Mr. whoever" (and that's just a fancy term for "Secretary who would get a promotion if she slept with the right people).

Now I know there are many women in positions of power all across the corporate world. I know this, but I don't see the evidence. Sure every so often I see a women as a C.F.O. or Director of something or other, but there is not enough evidence to support the claim.

**by the way, the details on the dog are now known: it is a female and her name is Sabrina. She does belong to David (head of accounting) and she is still running around the office.
