Mainstream as a verb. FFS. Literally a job to normalise something. Wild guess at the version of gender they're talking about....

Ugh how depressing.

GC people please apply!

FancyRibbon · 21/05/2019 08:28

Can we make this into an interesting jobs thread for GC people?
Here’s a London-based job that seems to be around providing training on sexual harassment on campus which looks interesting (genuinely): diversity and inclusion coordinator

Good grief! That advertisement sounds like someone, on a bored Friday afternoon, said "let's play bullshit bingo" then the joke got out of control and took on a life of its own.

How does this stuff get approved?Confused

What does gender mainstreaming mean?

What does gender mainstreaming mean?

Talking about, and presenting something as if it is an inevitable, everyday, normal reality.The Guardian/Observer and The BBC already do this.

The organisation has been shuffled about a bit but I had a memorable interview with a part of it many years ago for a rather well paid job, during which I realised that they didn’t need my sort of skills and experience at all. The interviewers (a panel ) had no idea about the content or demands of the role at all. I spent the rest of my time with them re specifying the job for them and making some phone calls to likely candidates, more junior and with specific technical skills. I also pointed out that they didn’t need to pay anything like as much as they were budgeting.

So this doesn’t surprise me at all :/

Was just hoping one of us might go for it and somehow turn the tide of craziness and sort the bs out. But prob a bit much to ask given the loony nature of the role 😉

Who is likely to have extensive experience of gender mainstreaming in the global South, but wants a pt job for 5 months?

This is terrifying isn't it. Someone being employed to normalise the new weird lingo (and the concepts that ubderpin it) in a organisation like this.

Lip service to some weird gendered god

Me. I’ll do it.

How global does South need to be? Are we talking Poles or crossing the river on a Friday night?

Bullshit bingo is officially my favourite phrase of 2019. It's like an episode of W1A now isn't it?!

newtlover · 22/05/2019 21:12

ah, would love to see W1A take on gender

ThatCurlyGirl · 22/05/2019 21:41

@newtlover I've never been such a balance mixed of pleased and horrified as when my dad said someone on telly reminded him of me and after much discussion it turned out it was Siobhan Sharpe and he didn't realise it was a mockumentary 😂
