Who knows, maybe they spend a fortune in catering for lunches, so they don't care about losing my measly $4-5 grand a year. But if they lose a lot of women like me, well, that adds up. So you have to wonder. Several other women on my Facebook said they already complained and others said they aren't going to shop there anymore because of this. So I wonder what the cost/benefit analysis is to Sterling Investment Partners from this boneheaded move.

The advertising department? Top brass?" Like, HOW MANY opportunities where there for someone to go, Um, maybe we shouldn't piss off our PRIMARY AUDIENCE. Then I wonder if someone HAD expressed doubt about the wisdom of this choice and then faced being laughed out of the room for being a "pussy."

One is to:"Build trust based relationships by being professional, respectful and honest in all of our interactions." Apparently that wish to be "professional, respectful and honest" doesn't extend to those of us with XX chromosomes. : /Sarah Darer Littmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780738493733344947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886184679252057946.post-7911984495590484532016-07-17T15:04:19.163-04:002016-07-17T15:04:19.163-04:00Excellent letter.
