      There is. It's called displaying talent and ability.

          Really?

          Utter bollocks. Talent and ability very rarely get you far in a company, playing dirty, the right connections and nights out with the boys in strip clubs however ...

            You have been very fortunate, snaw, if you have not encountered any women that are supremely adept at "playing dirty".

              My problem with Harperson is that on a tour of her own constituency she wore a stab vest - I mean, wtf? If she can't trust her own constituents (admittedly, in Peckham) to not stab her, why should we trust her?

                Never said they don't, but I think men are better at it in a corporate sense. Just my 2c as to why there are more men at the top jobs than women - and that's based on my belief that getting to the top doesn't really have a lot to do with ability, in the best 'man' for the job sense.

                    Maybe, but let us not forget that many of the top women leave the workplace at their peak to have sprogs. Nothing wrong with that, perfectly right and natural IMHO. Tragically it is something that is often left out when the feminist lobby get on their soapboxes and start spouting their slightly disingenuous statistics though.

                      There is a simple reason why women do not make it to the top levels as often as men and that is because a large chunk have their careers scuppred by having kids. To me having kids is a matter of personal choice and so is the way they are cared for. If a woman or a man wants to take say 10 years out of their career to raise a family then good for them. However I think it is totally unfair to expect special treatment when they get back onto their chosen career. I think it is totally unfair that a woman (or man) who has taken time out should benefit from positive discrimmination to simply meet an objective of getting a set percentage of women to the higher levels in a company.
                      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                      I preferred version 1!
