Say What?!
Pinch Me...or Don't
I work in the management consulting industry. Several years ago, I was working with a $3 billion+ company on a project (in a male-dominated industry). Part of the project involved conducting sales and negotiations training with the company's regional offices located throughout the country. In one particular training session, we had approximately 25-30 attendees, including the company's CEO. During a discussion section of training, the region's Vice President made the comment that women should be "at home, barefoot and pregnant" in front of the entire group of attendees, including the majority of his subordinates. If the VP said this in front of the company's CEO, I can only imagine what was said when the CEO was out of earshot.... Thankfully the CEO immediately said something to him in front of the group, but five years later, I know the Vice President still has his same position.
