We hire who will come in. Women have proven to be better coworkers than young men because they actually show up and do what they are supposed to. I’ve been here for nearly a decade, seen folks come and go, and I am less impressed with gen z every time they hire one, he can’t show up on time two days in a row and hide all day when they are here, and get fired in a month. Everybody here gets the same chances. Nothing we do here is that hard, it’s repetitive, not exciting, but not hard, and we pay above average for the area. It’s always attendance that gets the guys too. Make it make sense.
I’ve been in a lot of blue collar environments in a previous career, and this is definitely something that happens. It’s not normative, but you’ll usually find a few construction companies or factories or warehouses in an area that employ a much more equally-gendered workforce.
