Heading to Prime orientation... someday...

Swift will let you go with a male trainer if you want, (some females prefer it).
Prime won't allow male trainers with female trainees because of sexual harrasement liablity.

Prime is under investigation from the EEOC after some women lodged a "sex discrimination" complaint against them for the trainer availability reason. Although I'm not sure how they force women to be trainers that don't want to be - - which would be a whole other sex discrimination case. I guess they could pay female trainers more than men to incentivize them to do it, but then that would be pay discrimination based on gender against men.

Oh the wicked webs we weave.

 

Ahhhh...Keyster... Get your story straight. Prime was involved in an incident involving a female trainee being attacked/harassed by a male trainer. The trainer got sued & charged & convicted. The EEOC made a recommendation, and Prime is following that recommendation.

Now, Prime is being sued by the EEOC because there are too many females waiting for a trainer, and not many females want to train. if you want to get the story straight, do your homework.

 

You won't have to worry about the gender choice at prime because you will be training only women anyway.

 

First, its well worth the wait. IMO, we have a great training program - although sometimes the people vary. When you do get into training, make sure you stay in contact with your FM - a weekly call is good practice, more often if the situation requires it.

Second, there is another side to this as well. Female students have at times used the threat of a sexual harrassment claim to attempt to change decisions of their male trainers regarding the status of their training, etc. It works both ways, and that kind of unfounded charge has led to ruined careers and destroyed marriages.

 

I think once that case is over with, i think prime will stick to there guns to let women train women.

 

There was a female trainer that paired up with a male in my class. Sucks you have to wait.
