‘Oh, please! So you had to take it!’
‘Yes, actually I did.’ I told them that you were much better for that position. I asked them to give it to you.’
‘Yeah? And what did they say to that?’
‘They said that they are very happy with you and your work, but unfortunately, this customer is from the Middle East region. They wouldn’t like to deal with a woman.’
‘So I didn’t get the job just because I am a woman?’
‘Yes, exactly. And everybody in the management feels very sorry about it. Trust me.’
‘I am giving them my notice tomorrow.’
‘Don’t do that!’
‘Why not.’
‘They are in talks with another big customer and they want to offer that job to you!’
