Why’s it gotta be like that?
My boss, the Executive Director, has been with my place of employment for nearly 10 months. However, we sometimes get calls for our previous Executive Director who was male. Nearly every time the person calling is informed that he is no longer with the organization or that he has been replaced, they respond with “Oh, what’s HIS name?” (emphasis added). Then, when informed of my boss’s name they typically respond with surprise that the Executive Director is female. It’s 2010 people! Women do lots of things. “Executive Director” no longer belongs to one gender. How about you get out of your box a little and take note?
