It’s more then likely a simple case of another woman being jealous of how another woman’s looks and being intimidated by it,i bet you if you were 18 stone,a little lip hair and 2 teeth she wouldn’t have a problem..in my experience woman are and can be very catty were other woman are concerned,blokes aren’t the same....so if I were you I would take it more of a compliment then anything else so just move on track your dream and you,ll be fine.

Spot on. I think this shows his wife's insecurities up more than anything. Has this guy perhaps played away in the past and she is now on high alert for any potential risk?

There will be other jobs. Shame

That's totally crap Sam. Ridiculous really.
Maybe there is more to it, husband may have history!
I don't think you will have a problem finding work on the basis of your sex. Getting your basic tickets will help.
All the best.

I have been away from this site for a few weeks because I have been moving house 😬 I thought I would update my new wee friends on here that the job I was offered before Christmas has fallen through !!! And the reason is WAIT FOR IT ........

 

His wife does not want a female on the team 😳 I bumped into my new potential boss shopping with his wife and not even 2 hours later I received a call to say my new boss can no longer offer me a job. I understand that family comes first and, yes happy wife, happy life but is this fair ? I value all opinions and I am now questioning whether I will EVER find a place to work. My husband works with plenty of women and I would NEVER try to control who he works around. Any advice please ?

On the face of it Sam its pants , but as others have said it may have become an uncomfortable situation . Better off out of it . I bet she was a moose anyway bud !

That's a bummer.

 

On the bright side look at all the support and encouragement you've had on here from the guys. Also the offer of that free three day  course from Rough Hewn is superb.

Hi Samantha,
As others have said, think you dodged a bullet there darling.
Yes what he said is completely discriminatory and illegal.
However you’ve handled it in a very reasonable and professional manner.
Keep going. You’ll find some decent types.

Also.
I’d like to offer you a free 3 day course.
Day one maintenance
Day two cross cutting
Day three milling.

I think you should seduce him in revenge.

We have employed a few arb girlies over the years, as an employer I have not had any issues with them but it can cause a bit of resentment with the guys. Normally hinges around the graft/pay ratio as in the "why the feck are you paying her the same as me when she cant lift heavy fings" argument.

I bet The wife is probably judging other people by her own standards. 😉 

 

sorry to hear this Sam. I'm sure another job will come along 👍
