[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently there was a change in management at DH's department.   The original make up of management was 1 male as the head in charge and then a 2 subordinate female sub managers. The male manager left the department so the females have are now in charge. Since the change the females have started letting go of male subordinates and middle managers and  have started hiring all female subordinates and contractors. Is this illegal?

My father ran into the same issue but with race and AAs doing the same thing. Someone sued and put an end to it. My dad was in a federal agency.[/quote]

I might be reading too much into your choice of words, but if "middle managers" are being let go and replaced by "contractors," that could be a change of direction in the way the business is organized that has nothing to do with gender.  If the entity is a government department and is outsourcing work to contractors, it is not that surprising that the contractors would be women or woman-owned businesses because of contracting preferences based on gender that are legal. Also, how big is the sample? Two, Three, Twenty? It would make a difference. And, especially among young new-hires, you might see more women than men.  Women now graduate from college in significantly higher numbers than men. [/quote]
