Jobs for the boys

Resolved: ‘Jobs for the boys’ is, on the whole, beneficial for society. ‘Jobs for the boys’ : “work that is given by someone who is in an important position to their friends or members of their family” , “appointments given to or created for allies or favourites” Note: This is intended as a debate that will have shades of humour and such throughout. I don’t expect my opponent to do copious research or do fantastic replies – I shall not be doing so myself. Instead, let us explore the veneer of rationalistion, for I am playing devils advocate as one may have guessed. Now, onto the fun!-------------------- We live in a time of troubles my friends. We’re stressed, overworked, beset by a gluttonous labour market – unemployment keeps rising – there’s more sex scandals in the office ... need I go on? You see, these things are what’s wrong with our perverted sense of ‘progressive’ claptrap. It’s time we changed things. Or rather, we’d best change things before those idiotic young whippersnappers get rid of the old boys in the big chair. One of the tragedies of modern times in sex scandals in the office. Ambitious (and promiscuous) young ladies are showing it all in the workplace, cheating their way to the top putting good men out of men’s jobs. Sexual assaults are on the rise too. Need I mention that since women entered the military sexual assaults increased in the military? You can’t trust students at school – that’s why he have single gender schools – and you can’t trust them in the workplace either. It’s time we brought this progressive charade to an end. Let’s kick women out of the office to protect their dignity and innocence and to reduce sex scandals in the office. The next great tragedy of our modern age is that our food quality is declining. Pre-packaged trash is causing our weighty obesity crisis. [1] A heavy burden for this country to bear. Health costs are going through the roof, and you and I are – the hard working boys – are paying for it. And this is because work is just too hectic because women are getting out of the kitchen and into the office, causing greedy employers to demand more of their employees. The French used to take 90 minutes for their meals 20 years ago. Now they take only 22 minutes. [2 , 3] This is an outrage! It’s time society dined upon the banquet of good taste in our prosperous modern age. To do this we need women back in the kitchen cooking, and getting out of the workplace so men can focus. Again, ‘jobs for the boys’ , jobs for the old (and slow) boys! The real tragedy is in the economics of it all though. Men are having to fight for jobs and getting unduly stressed about it. Women are causing a terrible crisis in the nation’s mental health. When men put in the 10 hours in the office they want to get home to a quiet, comforting environment. Not comments about the PA system at their wife’s work. Nor do they want women distracting men in the office. It’s a drain on the holy grail of life – workplace productivity. We all know that a 2.8% rise in GDP will occur once the men can stop looking at the ladies. Economic growth for a brighter future; a better tomorrow for all. And the best part of jobs for the boys is it reduces job instability. Businesses really benefit from confidence in the job outlook. A solid, unchanging job outlook is just what we need. And it’s time men got the jobs their socialising, I mean networking, deserves. If you know Frank the CEO you’ve got a good job. Saves on the advertising costs too. No need for men and women to waste hours of their free time on crafting the perfect resume either. No need for companies to pay employees to read resumes either. Real, achievable change. Real benefits. And finally, let me bring to your attention the greatest benefit of jobs for the boys – unemployment will drastically fall. Jobs for the boys will drastically lower the female participation rate as women accept the utilitarian benefits of the scheme. Lowering the participation rate while retaining the same number of jobs (there’s an oversupply of workers you understand) will drastically decrease unemployment. It will also solve for under-employment and the destabilising casualisation of the workforce. Reducing job instability, frictional unemployment and unemployment. Jobs for the boys – building a brighter tomorrow! Tired? Stressed? Then it’s time for job for the boys. The policy reduces the horrifying sex scandals in the office, reduces unemployment drastically, increases workplace productivity, gets rid of the health sucking stress of the modern man, brings back the prandial marathon (read: tasteful long lunch) and makes sure that job insecurity is much smaller problem. For a brighter tomorrow we need jobs for the boys.--------------------Sources 1 - http://futureofchildren.org... 2 - http://www.smh.com.au... 3 - http://www.bbc.co.uk...
