UK: First-ever female managing director of John Lewis Paula Nickolds is fired from her job after three years. OP: She was a feminist who got the job because of her gender. There is a great deal of pressure in the UK to have quotas of females on company boards.

Hire the best person for the job.

An accurate prediction from 3 years ago:

John Lewis gender-neutral childrenswear removes ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ labels

Hmm, might this utter BS have something to do with the fact that the new Managing Director of John Lewis is Paula Nickolds, the first woman to hold the position? We look forward to the commercial decline of John Lewis, and the inevitable claim of sexism by Ms Nickolds when she’s fired for failing to deliver.

Her departure is a sign of further crisis at John Lewis-Watirose after the partnership announced that Waitrose's managing director Rob Collins would step down and 75 of its 225 senior management roles would be axed

Poor woman, also 76 other people lost their jobs, but they're likely men.

Agreed. They also did this with People of color with affirmative action. I think you should get a job because you are the best for a job not to fill some minimum because you’re a woman or black.

Don't the current royal family issue partly have some feminist concern?

Well, this is the post that broke the camel's back. I am all for men's rights but I didn't realize that it would be full of idiots who see a ghost behind every woman.

She's an executive who rose through the ranks from the bottom up. She didn't excel in her current role and has been let go. Do you know how often I have seen this at companies I have worked in to both genders? At least once every couple of months.

There's a saying in business that everyone eventually gets promoted one level above their ceiling. Has nothing to do with feminism.

Anywho, wish I could be a member of a sane men's rights group but this clearly ain't it based on posts like these. Adios.
