As A Manager I Have To Make The Hard Choices,

Not all men are created equal. All you have to do is go to the mall. By the same token not all women are created equal. All you have to do is go to the mall. So we get into this never ending discussion.

At work I have two women who work for me. One is talented, industrious, level headed. But she is not good looking. The other is dependent, needs praise, finds excuses for not finishing her tasks. But she is hot, very good looking.

As a manager I'm supposed to treat these women equally, blind. No way the smart, hardworking woman should be given a raise when the equally ambitious good looking woman who doesn't get her job done is passed over. Likewise, for the distribution of game tickets, the good looking woman who always wears hot clothes and flaunts it, especially when she is with a man, shouldn't get the pick of her choice, whereas the competent, nice, friendly woman stays home to watch on television.

These are hard choices for the manager. In the end you can only pick one for a raise, or one to go with you to the game. Which one do you choose? Always, err on the part of which one gives you the most pleasure. You give the good looking one the raise and take her to the game.

That's why I'm the manager and not the one staying late getting the reports done. That's a job for the competent, responsible, hard working not good looking one.
