week 5 reply to Michelle

I experienced a very similar situation at work this week. We were on a phone conference and one of the men a manager turned to his new hire a young pretty female and asked her to take notes. I then looked around the room and noticed most men were managers and every one of them had an administrative assistant that were female. Then I thought about all the hiring I've seen go on since I've been there and could not come up with 1 male that has been hired for that position and then I thought even further and realized I've nver seen a female hired by another female at this place. Is it me or are men hiring women for low level positions and men for upper level and at the same time are female managers hiring women or do female managers feel threatened by other female managers? I would think that female managers might want to hire other females to hiher positions because they know what it took for them to succeed but I'm not to sure this is the way it's happening.
