BTW - I would really like to know if all those women he hired enjoy the same salaries and benefits as their male counterparts? Or, did he hire all those women because he knew he could pay them less? It could have been a cost cutting strategy.
When is an apology not an apology? When the person that gives it qualifies it. If your read the full article he apologies, but, he discounts it in the same breath. That is not an apology, it's a PR press release.
Lastly, when I first saw the name Al Baker, I thought he was a former NFL linebacker that made good after his NFL job was over.
Hello All, just read an article in Business Week about his address ...and it appears that he intimated after his address his comment was tongue in cheek....
Claiming it "was a joke" afterward made it worse.
Brilliant! Put him in charge of HR!
