Thank you for visiting my blog also! :) I don't watch Mad Men, but I do read enough EW and People and general EOnline to know the show, so I found this very interesting. I especially like the part about the housekeeper, as that makes perfect sense, even in today's culture.The Dose of Realityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778610584517345200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-26645082169556557442012-06-09T08:44:34.011-05:002012-06-09T08:44:34.011-05:00I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today.

I've been wondering what book to read next and this sounds like something I would enjoy. <br /><br />I've also been trying to decide what series to watch on Netflix, now that I've finished watching Grey's Anatomy. I think Mad Men will fit the bill nicely. :)Leslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084393882026836564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-91226104648408339102012-06-09T08:00:35.828-05:002012-06-09T08:00:35.828-05:00Jessica,

I have gotten pushed to the front row (as new people have joined) in my aerobics classes. I have noticed being in front makes me feel more confident (and less likely to slack off.)Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-85224946738351469992012-06-09T07:53:35.237-05:002012-06-09T07:53:35.237-05:00Webb thanks for sharing your experiences.

I am happy to hear you had a positive experience and the men were proud of your success. I bet you made a lot less than they did though.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-6356858132078590122012-06-09T07:52:15.412-05:002012-06-09T07:52:15.412-05:00I LOVE Mad Men!

Funny you should mention cars. Peggy wasn't allowed to be on the creative team for Jaguar so it sounds accurate indeed.monicastangledwebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311906301829091998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-52395369766264996232012-06-03T19:25:04.350-05:002012-06-03T19:25:04.350-05:00I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!

I never do that, but it's a simple and good idea.Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09240085627916462704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-28009342346350525392012-06-03T18:33:52.955-05:002012-06-03T18:33:52.955-05:00It was similar in sales in the late 60's and 7...It was similar in sales in the late 60's and 70's. When I joined my sales team at Xerox, we had weekly team meetings at a topless bar in DC. AFter about three weeks, they were moved to a "regular" bar. Neither of the women on the team had said a word ... I think the men were uncomfortable.<br /><br />Drinking lunch, smoking, sex with co-workers, drug use, and the old boys' network were the norm. The women could be found at the office a 7 am and 7 pm, but the men were only there when absolutely necessary. <br /><br />But - and this is a huge but - that was the way of the world. We felt that we were treated differently, but we were also treated as little sisters by our teams. if you found a good person on your team to teach you, you could excel. When I left my territory to go into customer training, I was #2 in the DC branch, and the guys on my team were very proud of me.<br /><br />Thankfully, i think things have changed a lot. well, i hope so!webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.com
