Disgraceful. The summary of the piece, at the start of the article:
“More women have entered the mining industry in the past 20 years, but they only hold about 16 per cent of top-level management positions. [J4MB: And 0% of miner positions, shouldn’t they be campaigning about that scandal?]
It is part of a global downward trend in women being hired to senior management positions since the pandemic.” [J4MB: At last, a trend – if it exists – to be welcomed! Obviously women were more affected by the pandemic. Asteroid impact to end all human life on earth, women most affected.]
An extract:
“Ms Smith said it was important the industry encouraged more women into leadership roles. [J4MB: She doesn’t say why it’s important, is the industry embarrasingly profitable, perhaps?]
“One of the things that will encourage that is men seeing women do the job … seeing is believing,” Ms Smith said.
She also said the industry needed to stop holding women to a higher standard than men.
“We’re perceived to be a higher risk candidate, [J4MB: Hmm, why might that be? The appalling track record of women in CEO roles, and the causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial DECLINE? No, that can’t be it… it’s a mystery, all right!] and therefore the benchmark seems to go up,” she said.
“I don’t think men have the same need [as women] to be exceptional.” ” [J4MB: Yay, let’s appoint more mediocre candidates, so more women get appointed!!!]
