Trump’s election and gender discrimination in the workplace

I was driving Domestic Senior Management’s car to the instant oil-change place yesterday. We are having our first cold snap in Boston this year, with highs below freezing and lows down to about 13F. On the way I passed the Quick and Clean car wash and decided the vehicle needed an interior vacuum and window cleaning. No doubt emboldened by Trump, the car wash owners had applied a glass ceiling to the floor. Based on wardrobe and hairstyle, there were exactly zero employees identifying as women working on the detail crew, which conducts its work entirely outdoors from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

[Note that this gender-based discrimination should not be confused with the pre-Trump Sex discrimination at the car wash that I observed back in August, before the entire world changed.]

  1. There are not enough women available to fill the car wash crews. They are all being advised (by politicians and journalists) to go into computer programming to fill the vast shortages in the field.
