Men twice as likely as women to get fired in Australia

Tirryb writes "According to News.com.au in a story here, men are twice as likely as women to get the sack in the workplace. They are also less likely than women to 'see the end of their marriage coming'.

Of course the excuses are instantly made. Quote: "It is possible that, at any given job level, women are somewhat more competent, or perhaps less likely to cause trouble at work than men," the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia report says.

No consideration for the fact that most employers are terrified of sacking women because they get dragged into unfair dismissal claims based on gender almost immediately. Or that women call it quits in marriage far more often than men, which is why men 'don't see it coming'. Nope, it's all the fault of us dumb, useless, incompetent males...."
