Itโs the same reason I donโt get Hooters. Why do we need to enjoy chicken wings and boobies at the same time? Yes, they are a natural and beautiful part of the human experience. And so are boobies. But why at the same time?
Tina FeySo, my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism, or ageism, or lookism, or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: โIs this person in between me and what I want to do?โ If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when youโre in charge, donโt hire the people who were jerky to you.
Tina FeyAs an improviser, I always find it jarring when I meet someone in real life whose first answer is no. โNo, we canโt do that.โ โNo, thatโs not in the budget.โ โNo, I will not hold your hand for a dollar.โ What kind of way is that to live?
