How is it people don't know this riddle? I heard it 40 years ago (except it was about a surgeon who couldn't operate on her child).

???

The "father" thing was a red herring. Very clever. Obviously the actual learning is about how unconscious bias (framing innocent, stereotypical thoughts as morally-wrong sexism) can easily distract us from actual bias (the very present and ethically wrong nepotism!). Ethically wrong practices - whether in hiring or socially - hurt fair-minded people - no matter the gender or situation. Understanding how unconscious bias clouds your judgement is imperative! Women and other groups are just as capable of corrupt business or social practices. It shouldn't be tolerated just because you might feel there is a power imbalance or calling out bias in our society might be seen as "unwelcome". I applaud the bravery and impartiality of this video, even if they didn't drive their point home as clearly as the could have by the end. But you can (!) when you share this very important video during "Unconscious Bias" training in your workplace!

What a riddle! The realisation is eyebrowraising.

My male student got it right.

It's the mother.

I thought of the mother easily and many others in my school, how did they struggle.this much We watched it in school and I was so confused that people couldnt answer that I searched up the video myself

Fuck this Men VS. Women BULLSHIT ! I've been a single dad for 13 years, pay all the bills, pay child support, the kids live with me, I've spent 8 years having my driver's license, passport, and my labour stolen from me in court. It cost every penny I've ever made to prove I don't owe that dead beat woman a dime and now at 48 I will NEVER recover. Bankrupt, broken and always waiting for the next time she takes me to court, because all she has to do is cry and say "I'm just a poor single woman😭" And I will spend the next 3 years defending myself

I think part of the reason is that the one who's reading this story is a male, which leads people to picture the CEO as a male.

His father is the CEO

WOW...I'm amazed that people did not consider his Mother was the CEO

the CEO is the mother, a the son is actually a daughter because in many countries parents adress their daughters "son", at least they do so in Bosnia. My dad regularly adressed me "Listen son", eventhough I was his daughter.

This is very offensive.. why do you think all families must be conformed by one women and one men? really?

It is very unlikely to be his mother, because women don't generally want to work 70 hours a week, forgo all social and family life to run a large company. In fact, 99% of men don't either. It takes a very special kind of person to want to do such a thing, and those people are most-likely men. This is not BIAS or SEXISM, it is biology and personality. Men and women are different. This becomes more evident on the extreme ends. If this observation of reality offends you then you are the problem.

I mean if 5% of female CEO’s are great, maybe most women don’t want to be CEO’s 😂

Wow you have a male voice to trick these people to create ur bullshit narrative. How pathetic can you be.

What if he had 2 dads you bigots

Funny how they present the "he has two fathers" as a funny answer... a different kind of bias that most people working in gender issues have

i have a feeling this is more about mostly male figures calling male children "son", while mothers calling their children somewhat "warmer" things like "darling" or "honey" or whatever. This is my view based on american movies portrayal of american families, as a non native english speaker. did not give a moment to think what gender was the ceo, because gender is not relevant for being a ceo (you sexist bastards :P ). from my point of view maybe we should calm down about finding problems everywhere, distracting us from the instances where there really are problems (as in there is sexism in the world, but in my view this is not an example of it)

Hate the peoples end the place snobs

👏

Was I the only one who thought not about the person who's CEO, but about the timeline. That occupied my mind. It's was said that the father was going to bring his son to the job interview? Why did he knew the answer before the interview? They were still at the parking lot? Or did I get ut wrong?

I'm scared because for me it was so obvious that it was his mother... Now I'm sad to realize that many people still have this bias and couldn't think it was his mother, just for being CEO

Instantly I knew it was the mother who called him. How on earth can these people not know the answer! SAD!

Creepy. And note the ageism. All the same age group. No thanks. Very unimpressed.

I think it’s the phrase that got us thinking it’s a man, since the word “son” is always attributed to the father. If the phrase went like “good luck honey, you’ve got this”, I think most of us would’ve got the right answer. So I would say that, in this situation, it’s more than the wording rather than internal sexism that got us to have this bias.

A lot of people call younger people "son", the real inclusive answer is that it could have been anyone, including the mom, older people who speak like that, etc.

Mom called I got it right away.

Is it the mother..and I have not seen the end...since CEO didn't mention the gender and son could be addressed by mother as wel.

It was his mother

IT IS HIS MOM!

Easy - call was from his mother

Its the Mother who called him

the CEO was a WOMAN !! duuuhhh

When you said the phone rings I said it is his mother

Mother is CEO

Have you thought about changing the question a little? For instance "- Try to guess, who called?" I bet the percentage of "correct" answers would increase many times over. The way the story is presented and the question at the end is a kind of manipulation. It pushes you to the wrong answer.

Its his mommy.

Such hypocrisy. Consider that women get preferential treatment in many ways, including the workforce because their "rights" are protected more than men's., hence they get hiring preference, especially in government jobs. We haven't achieved what we like to call "equality" for that reason alone. We have attained ROLE REVERSAL or equity, not equality. The words "equality" and "equity" are condescending and insulting to anybody's intelligence who actually knows what those two words mean.

I thought of his mum before the story even ended. Duh!!!

Weak and it reflects the truth of the modern women patting themselves on their backs saying how fearless and powerful they are!!! Fathers (including elderly men) usually address boys as "son" and have a way of speaking, while mothers don't usually! ...mic drops...

Guten Abend aus Berlin. Ich möchte diesen Prozess gerne auf Spanisch und Deutsch erhalten - Weil ich die deutsche Sprache lerne und keine Informationen verpassen möchte. Ich habe die E-Mail mit der Einladung für den 23.02.2023 bereits erhalten, möchte aber Ihre Zeit nicht verschwenden, wenn es nicht möglich ist, die Informationen in beiden Sprachen zu erhalten. Vielen Dank für die Aufmerksamkeit und Zeit des gesamten Teams. MarBello.Berlín

Why is he attending any job interview at all? Especially when mum is telling him he will make it anyways before the interview? They could have discussed it at home or not at all anyways since this seems to be family business? Why is dad driving him? Doesn't make sense and keeps distracting me from who is the calling person a lot

hahaha, got it on the first try, but probably just because it's an explicit women's day video

KooL Kamala Harris Club Pool Brunch and Elderly Services could be held there

MIndspace likes to discriminate against me because of my Christian beliefs and won't let me in. They treated me like trash even though I was nothing but nice to them.

The mother is the CEO :)

U cant change human nature
