To see those women candidates on The Apprentice on BBC1 last night was astonishing. The cacophonous babble as they argued, shouted and talked over each other in the boardroom made one shudder at the thought of ever trying to work with such people.
Alan Sugar's female sidekick in the show, Karren Brady, voiced her amazement and disappointment with the way the women were behaving and how they were representing females in the workplace (not like this, please!), and there were a few moments of quiet.
It made for good television, of course.
The trouble is that the show is really desgined for the loud-mouths and show-offs. If you don't "put your head above the parapet" or get yourself noticed, you will get outed as doing nothing, not being a winner, making no contribution.
So, sure enough, after all the moaning about the wild behaviour of these crazy women by Sugar and Brady, what did our Lord Sugar do?
He fired the quiet one.
