Memo to self: do not accept job at EMC

US hit tech company EMC has had six sexual-discrimination lawsuits filed against it since 2003 by women who once worked in EMC sales offices but from this Wall Street Journal article it sounds like a place that very few civilized people would care to work:

locker-room antics, company-paid visits to strip clubs, demeaning sexual remarks or retaliation against women who complained about the atmosphere. Three of the women said male managers unfairly took away accounts they had developed and gave them to men.

Fish??? Fish???

One woman claims she was told she "wasn't qualified to fill a vacant position on the big Motorola Inc. account because she wouldn't "smoke, drink, swear, hunt, fish and tolerate strip clubs."
