The Glass Celing

At Bickel & Brewer, the power code is made clear when recruits are invited to "Call-Back Weekend" in Dallas, which takes place each fall. "When I greet them at 9 a.m. that Saturday, I'm in a suit and tie -- and so are they," says Michael Gardner, the firm's hiring partner.

I guess this asshole isn't hiring any women. Sometimes people try to tell me that sexism is dead and feminism is useless. But it's subtle little slip ups like this one that show that our prejudices are still there, swimming just beneath the surface of a $1200 suit. And tie.

hey, can't you just wear a tie with your skirt suit? And then when they look at you funny you just tell them they said you had too....
