Is it really 2009?
I heard a tale of professional malfeasance today I can only describe as unbelievable.
A buddy of mine is looking to hire two senior technical people to work in China. My buddy is an executive in an American software company that is opening a branch in China. As with all branch operations the manager is in place and is someone that has served time in the US and should understand how hiring works in the modern world.
Anyway, after a fairly significant search and vetting process my buddy has found the two candidates to whom he’d like to offer the positions. These two candidates are supremely qualified. These two candidates are also women. Female.
The manager in place raises three concerns with hiring these women. “One, we know that women aren’t really good at math. Two, we know that two women working in the same office will experience their cycles at the same time and fight. Three, I will lose face with my peers because they will think I am a fool.”
Really, the guy said this. My buddy explained to this fellow that the company they work for does not make hiring decisions based on race, religion or sex. So these two women will be hired.
I can’t figure out whether the manager is retarded or if China is so far behind the US socially that this is considered a reasonable attitude. Have we time travelled to 1926?

Of course you like chtung die kurve. This is a great and simple idea, that you can quickly play on a break on schools, or when you're at home. But the action also has some issues, which make the sport less fun to involve into, or to play for a long period. These are the issues we see in Blackberry curve Fever 2, that we should improve in our next installment.
Thanks for this great article. It was great information. I was reading whole day. A lot of thanks no the author.
