The interview (in Italian) is still on her Instagram page (link to interview )
The bullet points of the interview:
-
She declared, with pride and framing it as an achievement, that she does not hire women for positions of power since “they then disappear for 2 years”
-
She then corrects — she actually hires women, but only over 40. That's because “they have already fulfilled their societal duties”: they married, birthed children, and if necessary they also divorced.
-
What's great about women over 40, she adds, is that “they can work for her 24 hours a day”
-
Of course these “mature girls” (quote) cannot occupy positions of power (i.e. be involved in the company's decision-making processes) because they need to take care of their houses, and as such, they remain inherently unreliable.
I am skipping all the quotes about how men are naturally better suited for C-suit jobs.
Guess who has two thumbs and won't be wearing Elisabetta Franchi for the rest of her life? this user
