Is it a good idea for the EU to introduce a mandatory quota of 30% women on boards of directors?

And what have you got against Country music?

and also sometimes people are given an opportunity they shouldn't have been....see Sly Bailey as CEO of Trinity Mirror!!

Besides, I like Country music and have always been fond of Dolly Parton's Greatest 'its.

Sometimes these women and ethnic folks are pretty good, given the opportunity. What's the alternative? A closed shop that's what. When will certain types of people ever get a chance otherwise? Though as Ash says, the white working class male doesn't really get similar openings re quotas.

and in business "playing the system" is a large part of earning it, I doubt you'll find a CEO out there who isn't good at playing the system!

a person's actual level of ability, in terms of competency. The workplace seems to be divided into "people" persons with limited knowledge or those with good technical skills but not great social skills. A minority possess both traits.

That's kind of easier for some people than it is for others.

hiring in cronies and firing good existing staff - all amongst the weaponry of the system-player, and widely admired in some quarters, unfortunately.

terms of securing top posts in our biggest companies.

Even securing a job interview is much easier if you have a name like John Smith as opposed to Mohammed Ibrahim.

age.

The women and babies thing doesn't help their case, granted that's wrong but sort of understandable as you don't really want your CEO buggering off for 6 months+

[Hillary]

will get very different treatment from potential employers depending on whether they have a foreign or western name on them.

It's been shown time and again.

he was f**king **** and lasted 6 months
