With such a provocative title, this film illustrates some of the perceived problems a supervisor might face working with women, but ultimately demonstrates where the real problem lies.
Learn a trade, become self-employed, and never have to put up with the constant surveillance and terrorism known as an EOE feminist indoctrination grounds **cough** employer.
I applied to be a garbage truck driver. I am female, and this was unheard of in the 1970s. I was hired by the males, treated with respect, and told to show up the next morning to start my first day of work. The next morning, I was fired on the spot by a female manager in front of the male drivers. Her ugly comments included that no woman would want this job while insinuating that I must have promised "something" to the men to get hired. The males, to their credit, apologized profusely and looked embarrassed.
Another indoctrination video promoting so-called "womens lib" & portraying men as egotistical sexists. When this was all about cheaper labor & Corporate wealth!😂
That's wild story, and having worked with local council 'men' jobs, I easily emphasise with. But still, am curious what you're take away was from that whol3 ordeal..
My grandma used to say: "No house is big enough for two women." and this applies not just to houses. Many women will eventually start with the back-stabbing and drama; it's just how they're wired. My wife even admits to it. She's glad she works with almost all men. The other two women in her office have their little dramas, but since it's only 3 of them (and 10 men) they can work it out. Add a couple more women? That's a recipe for disaster.
You can to. Connect the "Y" axis to vertical coil on the yoke of a TV. Connect the "X" axis to the horizontal. Connect the "Z" to the grid of the picture tube. Then show the boss.
What was this movie actually trying to say? I'm really not sure. Are women terrible and the big boss is forcing them on the little boss. Or is the little boss a dick who needs to pull his head out of his ass?
Can someone explain why from 1930 to 1960 there was this ONE male narrator voice? It is so uncannily similar in every single educational film from basically the whole black and white talkie era.
They had that kind of relationship then--if the door is open, the knock had already happened. That's where the expression "open-door policy" came from.
Now people keep yelling that before a man was able to afford a house and provide to its family, but don't want to point out what caused that, abandoning gold standard, feminism and women entering in the workforce. By simple economy laws, having the double of workforce for the same amount of jobs just makes your income to decrease. That's why families nowadays are economically and morally broken, and there's no way to turn back.
Poor Brad! Having to spend his days as a manager doing stupid things like teaching his employees, planning work coverage during an employee's vacation and handling last-minute changes. You know, manager stuff.
"Why, when it was just MEN in the company, Brad was never troubled by these arrangements. In fact he enjoyed them. And back then, there was always someone working for him whom he Really enjoyed flirting with...!"
‘Anything untoward and there’s a big production about it’ *proceeds to have a full blown meltdown after hearing information about employee getting married he’d heard 6 months ago*
I know this is probably going to annoy a lot of people but I think women are better at some jobs and men are better at others. It seems like women do their jobs more precisely but aren’t good at handling situations that are outside of the ordinary or different than what they were trained to do. Men on the other hand are not as precise with the work they perform and are satisfied just as long as the task is completed. However, men seem to handle unforeseen situations better and can adapt to the situation more easily than a woman would be able to.
I am the only woman in an all male environment. I came from a job that was very, shall we say....diverse. I HATED that job. No work was ever done. Or it was done wrong. Or there were tons of water cooler moments, one day i got stuck at the register for hours, no relief, pages for help ignored, customers ignored. No bathroom break and i missed my lunch. I wanted to leave that day but not until I had another job lined up.... thankfull i did land this sweet sweet deal where I'm currently employed. The new boss showed up out of the blue, acted surprised to see me working at that dump. Told me to come see him if it didn't work out. So i did. One week from the day i got shit on i started the other job. Scared shitless (i have been abused and sexually harassed by men in the past. I was a afraid to be alone with anyone but the guy who hired me. I knew him well enough to know i was safe.) So here we are, four months later. And these guys are like family. We all talk, about anything. We tell jokes, share food. My God it's great. I want to stay in this job forever. Never ever want to work in another corporate hell hole again. Independent businesses alllllll the way. Now i dont know if its so cool because it's a small crew or because I'm the only female. I just dont want anything to change.
@@Hy-Brasilwhew, what a story, unfortunately, that part about the place you left sounds familiar to me. I'm glad you've found a job that's comfortable for you. It's also good to hear about decent men. I get sick of hearing only negative things. All the best to you.
Post WW2 and Korean war labor shortage. Don't forget the millions deployed defending West Berlin and the DMZ's on 38th and 18th parallels not to mention Japan bases.
3:25... I've worked in that kind of situation. When I worked at a call centre we moved desks every day, it was awful, and unhygienic sharing headsets and stuff.
Well, she said she had only gotten engaged six months ago, but just now is telling him what the date is... Still on her, like he should trust office gossip, it's like a game of Telephone sometimes.
@@modernman1240I don't have a keyboard and don't know what the f row actually does, I realized now that a lot of f3 embedded in female is dancing the Cha Cha through my readings
@@antithoughtpolice7497 She said she told him about the engagement six months ago and was waiting until they could find a place to live. Probably should've been better communication on both ends, since the supervisor should have known that her marriage would be coming up at some point, while the employee assumed the supervisor was paying attention to chatter around the office.
You're comparing men in 1959 to men in 2023, after theyve been totally feminized ironically. So yes, men today do complain like women because they are not allowed to be men lol.
So many sad and vitriolic people in these comments. We are all human, once you go out of your comfort zone and actually talk to people who are different than you, you will understand this. Women are people, men are people.
2 weeks later: Personnel Manager: "Brad, I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. We've been receiving complaints from the new employees that you have been creating a toxic workspace."
2 months later: Personnel Manager: "Brad, please come back! Joel quit, most of the girls aren't showing up, don't know what they're doing, and just complain about any changes!"
@@coolsummers7668I’ve seen entire departments laid off only to be brought back on as consultants for higher pay, once the incompetent upper management realized how invaluable they were after everything fell apart after they left.
As much as I adore old vintage things, It’s a shame how many people seem to have unrealistic ideas about women in these comments. Not all of us are like that, and I have a feeling that a lot of you take an example of certain women who are stereotypically...well just downright irritable etc and claim that all or most women are like that.
Of course the trouble Brad had in the workplace wasn't due to the women but of his own making. He spent so much time bitching about the women employees that he wasn't getting his own work done.
My wife is a 58 year old tech executive. In college in the 1980s she was always the only female in all her classes. Now we have two daughters who both have science degrees. If I showed this to my daughters they would find it hard to believe it wasn't recently made satire.
Ha! The United States has to be the most overtly sexist English speaking country in the world. Like all countries that push their dominant religion and commonly use religious language ("Amen"! "Thoughts and prayers"!), it's so incredibly socially conservative. You've never allowed a female to become president, have you, while so many dozens of countries have had female leaders for so long! Australian primary school (elementary school) girls in the early 60s were expected to go on to high school and then to enter university to study the sciences, medicine, law, economics or whatever they wanted for their future careers. I was one of them, from when I was only 11. The backward religious United States was so sexist it was still in the dark ages then and for decades further on. One American woman has told of how even as late as the early 90s her high school teachers discouraged the girls from thinking of further study. It would be a waste, since they'd only get married and have children... 😳 😂 🤣
Question: All these things you've been talking about; marriage, personality problems, absenteeism, bearing inspection, oscilloscopes---Aren't they really just a part of life?
@Coldern Ice What I really want to know is, what kind of business inspects bearings and inspects electrical parts with an oscilloscope? Do they manufacture bearings and install them into something that can be checked with an oscilloscope?
@Favel Konefka. Okay, but I can find no evidence that bearings were inspected in this way at that time. It seems more likely, if this wasn't just completely BS, that they were testing shaft currents or something related to continuity/capacitance between the parts of the bearing: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.bartlettbearing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Common-Mode-Choke-Testing-Compared-to-AEGIS-Shaft-Grounding-Ring.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwitk5Ho3NjuAhWUVc0KHbgSB74QFjADegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw2QywGLcAM6TcOn8idaDWKQ
Meanwhile Myrtle's are now Karen's, absentees are still mostly women, none of them come with the knowledge of what they're supposed to do, or they take too long to learn it, and mostly women are the ones that don't put in proper two week notices by today's standards. I mean... there was an all woman company made today and it didn't even last five years, mostly because of the problems in this video. Except for competition over any male guests. And I'm not a misogynist, I'm a woman that just sees the statistics.
@@antithoughtpolice7497 Plenty of women are misogynists, so if you really are one, that proves nothing. What statistics? There are no statistics showing that "women take too long to learn". Plenty of companies go under---they must have been tiny, too, to be manage to be all women without some sort of illegal discrimination against men. The problem this video was made to point out is misogyny. Astounding that some people in the 50s were less sexist than many people today.
Seriously, Brad. She knows alot about Ball Bearings. She has an eye for balls like nobody. Nobody handles balls better than her. Let her help you get your bearings, Brad.
If you don't give her this assignment, she'll bust my balls. She's really got us both by the balls, so bear that in mind...and I haven't forgotten about Myrtle Malloy, 'cuz we just got an affidavit from her lawyer...
But the dude wants more men in the workstation for one reason and one reason only, please refer to the "Boys Beware" for more details on why he wants men in the workplace.

@@Hugatree1 I will cook, sew and keep house for a beautiful, even and fair minded woman willing to support and marry me. Women can have the work place. They can also do the mining, construction and also wear my combat boots. I want none of it. I just want peace, love and happiness.
If the people in the comments were correct, then everybody would be talking about how great it is to work with women in 2023. Leave a reply to this post and tell me your positive experiences!
The older women aren't so bad usually. and the younger girls are okay but try to keep your distance as much as possible if they gossip don't listen, just pretend to listen but don't give any real input. Just know if a girl doesn't like you she'll be in your bosses ear all day she won't just be straight forward with you about the issue like a guy will.
What an excellent boss, great work ethics. He listens to brads complaints but also defends the women’s right to work. Don’t judge a person by what’s between their legs; judge em by how much cash they bring in to the business.
How did the boss listen to Brad's complains? They all pretty much flew over his head. Particularly the no-show girl Brad spend time teaching the previous day is a serious problem for a company. It's safe to asume it wasn't the first time that happened, because in that case it wouldn't be that much of a deal. Behaviour like that can deplete or straight out endanger productivity. And the table change complaint holds true to this day, lol.
It's depends what kind of work they are doing like if its something a 14 yr old boy can do then they will go fast! I've seen them but if it includes "lifting or moving" they take their miserable time
"The trouble with women". This video barely scratched the surface. This was 60 years ago. If these guys had a crystal ball & could see 2019, they both would have jumped out the window in terror.
Brad is correct in most of his issues with women. It’s 2020 and I no longer work in medical billing because it was a nightmare on multiple levels. This biggest issue I had were all the coworkers I had. The cat fighting was terrible. As a guy I was able to stay out of it to a certain point. The there were women who were divorced and old that wanted to blame me for all of their problems. The pay sucked too but I probably would’ve lasted longer if it wasn’t for women being 85% or more of the staff. I did stay in that field way to long which is my fault. I did switch to Analyst, business Analyst roles and making WAY more money. Almost double now!!! I am Happier now! less of one thing now and more of another. 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂So, I do think that Brad was mostly correct.
@@johnreese7291 I worked in construction and commercial & industrial facilities maintenance. Worked with 95% men. Very few workplace issues over 30 years. As I got older and my body had many years of physical work out in the weather, climbing ladders and lugging around heavy tools & equipment, I took a job as a bank courier, then worked in the bank office. Me and the President were the only men. It was sickening and almost unbearable every day. Constant drama, bickering, shit talking by every female about every other female. And the majority of them spent 75% of their time on the internet instead of actual work. Easily, there were more than twice the number of women needed. If the boss simply monitored the computers search history, he could have swept most of them out the door. Then they would actually be so busy doing their jobs, they wouldn't have time to create all the drama. It was amazing to me how oblivious the management was to the massive obvious slacking going on right under their noses. After being used to actual hard work, the kind that was exhausting, but satisfying, It blew my mind how all of these women would constantly yak on & on about how hard their jobs were.
Wow guys.....just wow....most of my work history is a warehouse type setting and I'm a pretty chill ass person. I have more male friends than female...even so, I was fought over and the men I worked with and still work with are more petty than all the ladies I have ever worked side by side with 😂 I will say I can run run circles around the guys at my places of employment. Here's what I think, the men nowadays are becoming more feminine and act like they have more hormones than the average woman. Just look around, all the men are getting smaller and more busty than the average woman. Men are way more petty than women these days....get your testosterone back. It's unbecoming of you all. Call it out when you see a little bitch boy. It was fucking embarrassing to bring men to meet my dad and the hand shake they gave was like a gummy bear. I like my man to be a Man.
Not quite sure what I was supposed to be learning here. The whole vibe I got from this video was "women are stupid and annoying, but deal with them anyway because it's what you've got" Like wtf 50's 😂
Brad was right and getting the women into the workplace was just so they can have both parents slaving away 40 hours a week now while big Brother raises your kid. Yes men can be easier to work with and for most jobs the better choice for hard labor, not saying the women can’t either these are just facts. But wouldn’t you rather live in a world where one parent could work and that would be enough income to support the family like it was in the Pleasantville era 50s-70ish no need for daycare you would come home the house is clean. Dinner is ready. Kids are bathed and ready for bed. Then the two of you could sit and relax. Talk about the day Netflix and chill. Or would you have the world that they want us to live in today, both parents come home tired decide who has to make dinner, clean house, argue, have to get the kids ready for bed then by time you do all that both of you are too tired to have any relaxing social time. Sounds pretty miserable, but there’s a lot of people out there who get deceived easily
Actually, this film was quite ahead of its time. Some companies still didn’t want to hire women except for waitressing or typing. And more single mothers were coming on the scene because divorce became more prevalent. (Which is another whole story). Companies found that single mothers made good employees because they had to be responsible for the children. My mom was a single mother in the 50s-60s. Having said all that, I think kids need a mom at home, at least some of the time. But I digress.
Your second sentence is complete nonsense and a lie. Move on from the 50's and check out high-paying exclusive jobs like lawyers, psychiatrists (and other specialized doctors), and nowadays even high-paying IT and engineering jobs. The only reason fields like engineering aren't 50:50 nowadays is because most women simply don't care about that kind of stuff and realize themselves in fields like medicine (where they are dominaning almost completely). The reasons why have been researched thoroughly already. Unless you're talking about countries like India or Saudi Arabia, of course, where women in the workforce are still often seen as a problem.
There’s a reason that the huge rise in single motherhood, suicide, lower GDP, etc coincided with women joining the workplace and socialist policies. The 50s were right, later gen’s wrong
@@anacorreia8058 I agree. Men and women in the work force isn't a zero sum game. Women might believe themselves more happy now than before, but men are committing suicide at a higher rate than ever. Perhaps when women say they are happier outside the home away from their kids they're just wrong about their feelings? (For example, the meme of the 30 something wine aunt who drinks 6 days a week and has too many cats)
@@ploopploopploopboop1887 Kids need a father and a mother, but sometimes they're forced to survive with one, the other or neither. Anything short of a stable father or mother is a diminishment of original design. That doesn't mean you just give up when you don't meet the original spec, but it does mean that there will be added challenges that otherwise are avoidable with both parents.
They ruin everything. Literally if you let them in the door they will pull everything down. Not even kidding. A little move is a big production. Yep. Absenteeism - also true. The figures prove it Brad was ahead of the game
There was a 5 year stretch when my wife stayed home. Kids were still in elementary school. It was GLORIOUS! House was managed well with her having very little stress. She was happy. I was happy. Life was good.
@@rjstewart - Your lives were good; fine. Not everybody is you; not everybody is your wife. Everyone should have choices. Not everybody can make it financially on one income. Evidently, you could make enough to not have financial issues. Many couples divorce or financial issues.
Virginia Moss LOL. It was NOT financially viable. Not even close. I won’t get into it but it was NOT something we could afford to do. It wasn’t MY choice either. The lack of stress at home was awesome. The financial tail spin was not.
