Women working at home could risk missing out on promotion, says Nationwide boss Debbie Crosbie

Our thanks to Jim for this. An extract:

“After an agreement with the union, a hybrid policy was introduced, with most full-time workers asked to come into the office at least one or two days a week.

The reversal was met with criticism from staff members who had made big changes during the course of the pandemic.

But one year on, Ms Crosbie told the BBC that she has observed a noticeable difference in office attendance.

“We find, certainly at Nationwide… that men are more likely to come into the office than women“. [J4MB emphasis: No shit, Sherlock!]

One thought on “Women working at home could risk missing out on promotion, says Nationwide boss Debbie Crosbie

  1. There is a real divide in the economy isn’t there. Office Workers in big corporations and the public sector get WFH, four day weeks etc. meanwhile of course the majority of workers have to go to work( can you deliver goods WFH, build houses, farm etc. from your lounge?) There is of course a huge “gender divide” here as the office jobs are (as the feminists remind us constantly) administration done by women on the whole. And reminder, unusually for an “amazing” female CEO, that turning up is pretty important if you want to build a career! Not only to build confidence and competence for yourself but overall for the health of the company that pays your wages. Very simply women are increasingly expensive and demanding to employ. Feminist ideas from WFH to time off for “brain fog” are undermining our productivity in an increasingly competitive world.
