Girl Quits On Dry Erase Board a Hoax

suraj.sun writes "It's the same old story: young woman quits, uses dry erase board and series of pictures to let entire office know the boss is a sexist pig, exposes his love of playing FarmVille during work hours." Story seem too good to be true? It probably is, at least according to writer Peter Kafka. Even so, Jay Leno and Good Morning America have already reached out to "Jenny."

I would have fired her too

I would have fired her too because she doesn't know english: You can't combine "Being your assistant has been" as "Being your assistant's been"

Just another piece of meat trying to get by on nothing but looks. Tired of pretty parasites, try being productive rather then a just another HPOA. You are a dime a dozen on the Internet, way to march towards being furniture (see Soylent Green for reference).

American women have become nothing but pop-tart wanna-be divas who's only asset appears to be their ass. They bitch about being treated like objects but these attention whores are the two steps backwards for progress. Can't stand them anymore. Hope it doesn't bleed into Canada.

"I'd rather be pretty for a living rather then contribute something to the world." A nice view doesn't cut it as a contribution. Shit even Barbie the Doll has been a doctor, lawyer, fire fighter, but oddly there isn't a HOPA edition. What the hell is wrong with people. No one wants to work hard and earn anything in life anymore.

Never thought I'd see a generation of women who's goal in life is "I want to be a Trophy Wife when I grow up then get dumped and replaced by my wealthy husband for a younger trophy wife..."

In all that the human condition offers, in all the experiences out there, her aspiration is Playboy? What a wasted life...

An entitled mindset + shallow values + looks obsessed society = What? I don't know but does that look like a recipe for success?

I'm glad I am married, I sure as hell have no interest in fame obsessed, looks obsessed, trash.

Maybe I am an old curmudgeon. But by God I want more 'women' and less 'chicks' please....

I'm feeding a troll aren't i?

Are you upset because you think that only unattractive women should complain about sexual harassment, or do you just think that people should only comment on particular instances of harassment that happened to themselves rather than discussing it in the abstract?

You've gone from "someone posed in some pictures that weren't 100% depictions of an actual event" to condemning every "young" female american in existence.

Never thought I'd see a generation of women who's goal in life is 'I want to be a Trophy Wife when I grow up then get dumped and replaced by my wealthy husband for a younger trophy wife...'"

Are you sexist, out of touch with reality, or just trolling? Totally aside from the issue that no one actually has "then get dumped and replaced by my wealthy husband" as a goal, i can look around my office right now and see plenty of women "working hard and earning something in life." (Arguably more so than you or i, since i suspect that most of them aren't posting on Slashdot right now *cough*) I suggest you go compare the _reality_ of life today to that of just about all of history prior to the 20th century. Men spent several thousand years telling women that they mattered for nothing in life except for who they married and how many children they had. Do you really want to be the one bitching about how since we were finally gracious enough to start telling them they were equal a couple generations ago that it's unreasonable that some fraction (and _only_ a fraction) of them haven't gotten over that mindset yet? Despite the fact that a lot of men still treat them like they don't matter except for what's on their chest or between their legs?

"Maybe I am an old curmudgeon. But by God I want more 'women' and less 'chicks' please...."

If you look around and all you see is "chicks," then i suspect that you _are_ an old curmudgeon, and a sexist one at that, and are a bigger part of the problem than any woman who complains about being mistreated because of her gender, regardless of whether it's in a "fake" photoshoot or not. Either that, or you need to go outside and meet some real people living real lives and working at real jobs, rather than assuming that everything is just like what you see on TV or the internet.
