A 1940s RCA Manual Teaches Male Bosses How to Supervise Ladies
The blog Retronaut has unearthed a booklet, created by RCA in the 1940s, intended to inform male bosses about the best ways to supervise their new employees as World War II brought females into factories, often for the first time. […]

They’re just, you know, what any boss should probably be doing for any employee.
