LinkedIn post: My Friend Runs a Hotel Business-And He Doesn't Hire Women. A recent conversation with a friend left me thinking. He prefers hiring men over women in the hospitality industry, and when I asked why, his reasons caught me off guard: Men are available 24/7-ready to take calls anytime, even late at night. They are more flexible with work hours since hospitality is unpredictable. They can travel easily for work trips and meetings. They can be strict with men, but hesitate with women due to workplace laws. Men are more target-driven as they often feel the pressure of family responsibilities. I was ready to argue that this mindset limits opportunities for women, but I couldn't find an immediate counterpoint to his logic. How should I have responded? Are these valid concerns, or is this just an outdated way of thinking? Would love to hear your thoughts! #Hospitality #Workplace Diversity #HiringBias #Leadership #Equality

Yeah, I don't see how this post would be good for networking. This is the not the kind of person you want to work with.
