Hijacked this post from another board!
I totally jacked this from TIP, but I thought you ladies might enjoy it! Hilarity! She said an HR rep in her office found it in an old magazine from the 50's or something
Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees
1. Pick young married women. They usually have more of a sense of responsibility, they're less likely to be flirtatious and they still have the pep and interest to work hard.
2. When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked outside the home at some time in their lives. Older women who have never contacted the public have a hard time adapting themselves and are inclined to be cantankerous and fussy.
3. General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a little on the heavy side - are more even tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.
4. Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical examination - one covering female conditions. This step not only protects the property against the possibilities of lawsuit, but reveals whether the employee-to-be has any female weaknesses while would make her mentally or physically unfit for the job.
5. Give the female employee a definite day-long schedule of duties so that they'll keep busy without bothering management for instructions evey few minutes.
6. Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. You have to make some allowances for feminine psychology.
7. A girl has more confidence and is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a day.
8. Be tactful when issuing instructions or in making criticisms. Women are often sensitive; they can't shrug off harsh words the way men do.
9. Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women. Even though a girl's husband or father may swear vociferously, she'll grow to dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this.
10. Get enough size variety in uniforms so that each girl can have a proper fit. This point can't be stressed too much in keeping women happy.

This sounds just like me.
I may need to forward this to all potential employers.
BAHAHAHAHAH!
Oh Emmm Geeee!! Lawsuit waiting to happen today! I couldn't do anything but laugh! Employers would be in so much trouble if we included any ONE of those things in our hiring or management practices today!
Thanks for sharing!
I think this one is probably my favorite! HAHAHA
