    Gosh no one had a problem when every Division head for 100 years was a guy. What the heck is the problem with you people? Check out her history. She's more qualified then the guy she replaced.

    Gracia hired Kramer for the most important position in teh company. Get off of the female issue. We get it you were happy with the all boys club.

    Robin Pence was VP Communications for AES. She's the one who recommended Harker eight months ago. Obviously Pence still has some pull around here.

    What white males do you look up to? Hunke? The epitome of the old boys network. An utter failure as a manager and judge of talent.

    9:17 and what exactly is this insidious agenda? She hired Jeremy, the new Robin Pence. She hired Kramer, the new Hunke. Whom other than M Banikarm did she hire that reports directly to her?
