This is very worrying indeed

For those of you who receive the OS Magazine, in this month's issue there is an article about the changes in the secretarial role over the past few years.  Quoting some of the descriptions some bosses view their secretaries' job description, include remarks like "collecting dry cleaning, hoovering the board room before the meetings, sewing buttons, generally being asked to perform tasks that are TRADITIONALLY FEMALE!!!"; "cooking the boss's lunch and taking it to him on a plate"; "clearing up cups and doing basic cleaning in between the cleaner's visits and sticking stamps on other people's envelopes."

Where are these people crawling out from!!!!!!
