Girls held to different bar while others aren't. Same company - United Airlines. You couldn't design a controlled experiment better that this. Girls, who were flying on employee discount pass, were denied boarding as they were wearing yoga pants. Official reason- as u r traveling on employee pass, you represent the company and by wearing yoga pants u don't represent the company well. And somehow everyone bought this argument. http://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/guid/C2C494F0-1257-11E7-BCC7-456FC1EDA05D Cut to yesterday. A doctor gets thrown out of a United plane because United had overbooked the flight and he wouldn't accept the $800 compensation. Reason, they had overbooked the flight to accommodate United employees who were supposed to be at work at a different location the next day. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58eb79b3e4b058f0a0309da4?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009
What comparison are you trying to make here? The girls were wrong, but I tend to think their policies are outdated. The doctor being dragged off the plane was wrong. Nothing acceptable about that situation. Are you insinuating that because the girls weren't dragged off in the same manner that this is gender bias?
Fixed the title. I hope it's clear now.
And no. I am not crazy enough to insinuate that the girls had to be dragged out of the airport 😀
@glitrsprkl from what I have read all rules were followed in both cases.
assault isn't a standard operating practice. it's a crime.
@paloalt0 - r u sure it was an assault? http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/10/news/united-overbooking-policy/
what so you want compare the same company being asshole and being criminal? what do you want say?

Apparently the doctor was heard saying "just kill me" as he was dragged off the flight. That's about how I feel when I fly United, too.
A guy wearing yoga pants on an employee pass wouldn't have made it onto the flight either. Your entire post is confusing. Title mentions gender bias in corporate policy. Post then mentions recent assault and no clue as to how this relates to yoga pants or gender bias.
I want whatever you are smoking to make such nonsensical comments in my meetings. Or you are trolling but not sure what😂
...your point being?
Fixed the title. I hope it's clear now😀
It's pretty clear you're clueless, yes.
