Imagine being let out of the kitchen AND being gifted one of these in the same day!

Sadly she is! Office junior poor thing. I can imagine the other women told them where to pop their pink notepads 😂

God that's awful

BebbanburgIsMine · 03/03/2026 16:48

I don’t see the problem, I adore pink, my favourite colour.

No-one is saying you must have pink if you don’t like it.

Oh good lord.
Only fit for rolling up, twirly metal thing on the outside, and inserting into male boss where the sun...

I guess the problem is that only the women gets the pink workbooks. Instead of striving for equality they are highlighting the difference between women and men in the workplace.

Oh no the women in the office were treated to 40p notebooks. The horror, won’t someone think of the men and the women who don’t like pink.

LentilBurt · 03/03/2026 16:55

Maybe the pink notebook also came with equal pay and equal rights?

BillieWiper · 03/03/2026 16:56

There was me thinking working as an EA wouldn't be both professionally and emotionally degrading.

Pink notebooks?! Sounds like what they'd give out in a raffle for a struggling 80s primary school.

You'd think most professionals use iPads or phones or something and I don't see why making them pink would help?

Wouldn't that be something they'd want to shout about and publicise though, not the pink notebooks?
The celebration of pink notebooks makes me think that's all they've got to offer for International Women's Day.

Surely a joke (please make it a joke, please)

Not a joke. Local estate agent. They’re all very lovely there but I can’t believe that they are genuinely this behind the times.

This is fine, as long as there are blue ones for the men in the office too. Of course, they don’t need a notebook because they have bigger brains.

Surely they aren't allowed the blue ones until International Mens Day 😱

I'd resort to several types of tablets if I was working for that EA firm posing for that cheese reeking advert. 😂

Oh I don’t disagree with that part 😂

As someone who loves pink, I love it because I choose it….

Yeah I love pink too but I guess I wouldn't love being an EA regardless of what colour book they gave me!
