[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 958694, member: 65699"] In my experience, even the women who don't need any help with the physical tasks still [i]get[/i] it. UPS was infamous in this regard. UPS is basically low-security prison, and there were few women working any job there (management or labor). However, the few who did work the grunt jobs never had to lift a finger, some whipped dude was always available to lend a hand. Bosses who thought they'd get to "hit that" would go easy on them, and often times even do their work for them. Same thing with all the grunt work jobs I've had. I agree, payment is at the employer's caprice. I don't always like it, but what is the alternative? Government controls on pay, so that everyone gets equal pay? Isn't that socialism? Is this set of values still prevalent? I thought it had long died out. I remember growing up hearing about it, but it seems to have died out. Same with the military adage of "Lieutenants can't marry, Captains may marry, Majors must marry". (Again, if the employer values it, he should be able to offer incentive to retain and attract it) [/QUOTE]
