62 - CAPE GAZETTE, Friday, April 14 - April 20, 2000
Women see no end to
workplace inequities
Despite the reported progress
made during the past few decades
to resolve gender inequities in the
workplace, 63 percent of those re-
sponding to a survey featured on
the Insider Views on the Work-
place Issue Web site, and hosted
through Flashbase, expect gender
disparities to prevail throughout
their working lives.
"That's a disturbing thought,"
said Dr. Sarah Banda Purvis, an
independent consultant and au-
thor who developed the survey to
determine what women in the
workplace are thinking based on
their firsthand experiences. "De-
spite the enactment of legislation
to deter discrimination in the
business world and employers'
adoption of Equal Employment
Opportunity guidelines, inequali-
ty continues."
Over 215 people have respond-
ed to this ongoing survey since it
was posted online during the
fourth quarter of 1999. To date,
women reflect 96 percent of the
respondents, with 57 percent col-
lege-educated, 76 percent ages 26
to 55 and 75 percent employed by
others. Other survey findings in-
clude the following:
• 82 percent have at some point
in their professional lives experi-
enced inequalities, such as dis-
crimination or harassment, in the
workplace.
• 52 percent feel they are not
part of the 'team' and just called
upon to complete the tasks most
of their colleagues don't like to
do.
• Only 7 percent think the me-
dia presents a realistic assessment
of the experiences of the majority
of working women
• 83 percent have noticed male
colleagues benefiting from a sup-
port system within the workplace
that seems to foster their careers.
• 69 percent have observed
women with overt or covert links
to established male figures being
predominately promoted and ad-
• vanced in the workplace
• 73 percent have had a boss
who appeared to be threatened by
their abilities and undermined
their career advancement.
Although 66 percent think they
either would have or could ad-
vance further in their careers by
compromising their morals or
values, a predominate number of
respondents indicated that based
on their experiences and observa-
tions, the advice they would give
to young women in high school or
college preparing for careers is to
maintain morals and values. "It's
like they're saying, 'don't go over
to the dark said,'" Purvis said.

years, he said.
Since catered events happen
mostly on the weekends, it has al-
so been necessary for Gollicker to
expand his staff to work at those
functions. Since most of his staff
at the restaurant is returning from
previous seasons, Gollicker said
he's able to spend less time train-
ing and more time focusing on
the business aspect of both
restaurant and catering opera-
tions. Improvements to the
restaurant, including recent up-
grade of equipment at the facility,
has also helped heighten the level
of service.
Catchers Restaurant is current-
ly open Thursday to Sunday. For
more information about the
restaurant or catering business,
call 227-1808.

Beach, Lewes, Milton and Georgetown, present Rehoboth SuperFresh co-manager Jim

age of those receipts. The scouts will benefit from these donations by allowing them to par.
tieipate in a variety of activities, including camping. "We are proud to present our plaque of
appreciation to SuperFresh of Rehoboth and want the community to know the important
part they play in helping prepare our children for the future, said Marilou Conlin, Brownie
