Feminism and Political Correctness is a cancer to any society.
I didn't realize the show was also on the BBC. If there was a Japanese version of the Apprentice, the fired person would be expected to commit harakiri.
What a hilarious notion!! You're so funny.......and you're right, too. Humiliation at losing is still a part of Japanese culture.
I am beginnign to think some men are threatened by a strong woman.
On the recent Trump-based series, I saw a woman named Angie do her strategizing and politicizing, and how it poisoned the entire team - they kept losing. She did not get away with it, she ended up fired, though.
It's difficult to lead a small group of head-strong people.
and
It's difficult to be in a group which is being led by a less-than-stellar leader.
But in the corporate world, one finds oneself on both ends quite often (at least I have). I think many people just don't grasp the complexities (which is one reason the PC nonsense can creep in). On the show, it's quite easy to see that qualities like stubborness, indecisiveness, poor communication, and childish back-biting are things that kill a project. It's like Betamax vs VHS: having the better idea is a good thing, but better execution usually beats the poorly executed stroke of genius. Sometimes, just knowing how not to self-destruct is the key to success.
We knew that ages ago, didn't we? (Congrats on your practical!)
It would make the taxi ride at the end kind of messy.
I'm still waiting for this Chris guy to totally blow a gasket. I can't tell if it is being edited to make him look bad or if he really is that edgy.
Some of us find strong women e x h i l i r a t i n g.
;O)
"beginning" to think?
I'd say it's really nothing new.
thanks! the job search begins tomorrow :-)
Best of luck!
Yeah, what's up with that? It didn't used to look so lame. Why does he comb it forward? And why did he dye it red?
While I don't disagree that "dynamic men" trump PC feminism (what doesn't, except perhaps in the bedroom, if you can really tell the difference.....) I would point out for objectivity sake that the men's team in the first Apprentice series went down in flames over & over before the teams were mixed out of necessity (too few men left to keep the original format).
You should make a huge banner out of that phrase and have it posted on top of the gates at NEVERLAND!
Cheers
This phrase is inevitably trotted out every time some "strong woman" needs to excuse her failure, which is usually due to pissing off everyone around her, male and female.
When a man is like that, people call him an a$$h*le, and everyone knows what they mean and don't blame the co-workers for their opinion. But when a woman is like that, and is termed a female canine, for some reason her behavior is defended as by some as "strength", and the co-workers are suspected of misogyny.
whatever
The godly woman is the truly strong woman, as always, and there aren't many.
