Does your place of work have a lot of drama because of women? Seems I'm always hearing stories about them talking behind each other's back, grudges, fighting, and other drama.

We get along. The men are a bunch of immature little cunts who puff up and can't work together because muh ego. YMMV.

My accounts manager is female, I get along well with her.

It's not a problem where I work. Drama purveyors get fired.

I see, so you work on a custom car/motorcycle reality TV show?

I work in a mostly male environment and they create more drama than any group of women.

It's all the way around where I work. Ladies in the office can't stop gossiping or bitchin.... Dudes in the shop can't stop gossiping or bitchin

Bunch of cunts

The problem with people is that it only takes one person with a bad attitude to get everyone acting pissy. So, you need to fire that one bad apple ASAP.

Women on average tend to have a little more drama as a whole but some of the most annoying/catty individuals I have ever met in my life are men.

I remember one shop I worked at, one of the techs didn't like one of the parts guys and would always start shit with them over nothing.

I haven't noticed any drama. I do have a female employee that thinks it's cool to come in a 10, leave at 3 and "WFH" even though no requirement get written, emails sent, or anything else noticeable happening.

it's pissing the other members of the team off.

No, thank god.

Yes

When they are not gossiping or stirring the pot they are bitching because the other got a day off and they didn't.

Only 2 females at my work too

Any guys that did the above got the ax really quick

It wasn't like this at my previous jobs though. I will admit that

The area I'm in is at least 70% female, with a lot in their twenties.

There is no drama.

Yes 80% of the drama and theft was female.

When I worked for a large financial institution the workplace was something like 60% women and 25% male-bodied women. It was nonstop bullshit.

I work in an industry that is 80% male now and things are great. There's no office drama.

Tons of it here. Of course if you say any little thing or even answer the phone in the wrong tone, they tell my boss, boss tells me to stop being a dick.

Non stop. Its continuously about rumors, backstabbing, complaining, and the list goes on.

The machine shop where I worked for 4 years was full of a bunch of dudes and was FULL of drama. Looking back it was laughable.

I work with all women now and there's practically no drama.

I don't talk to the people I work with outside of work so no... But I think one of the couples are getting divorced. Don't know the details though.

Depends on the bosses. If you have good management, the drama is usually not so bad.

I will say that I think it spreads more like the telephone game with women in my experience, whereas drama with dudes usually has a lot of witnesses.

Yes and ive learned long ago not to say shit you dont want the entire company knowing about the next day, few of the guys are guilty of it too. Sitting in a truck all day draws all kind of conversation with whoever is sitting next to you but i keep most of the personal stuff to myself.

Posted: 4/20/2017 11:38:49 AM EDT

Funny thing is you put women together they talk=drama. Mix men & women gtg. 87% of the time.

Posted: 4/20/2017 11:39:11 AM EDT

The only drama I have had associated with a female employee was trying to keep the guys out of the office, that one was too pretty to be the only woman in a shop full of hard tails.

Posted: 4/20/2017 11:39:44 AM EDT

[#22]

Yup.

Ohh...protus didn't agree with my bullshit idea on how to fix XYZ....

Fast forward....
Um yeah. You used my vacation time instead of the 2000 hours of sick leave..

Sorry protus can't change it..already submitted time..and you've got 78 hours already..so go home early @3.

Me-wtf you can't do that..those hours were last week.

Supervisor- ya know protus..its because you stood up to her in that meeting...

It was across the board..HR..called..dept. of labor..etc etc...
Our staffs manual time sheets vanished and it was clear labor dept. Did not access our digital records.

And for that..
We all got lower % yearly increases.

Every week it's something here and women's egos are always the core of the issue.

Hens in a hen house ...

I work in Healthcare. Its 95% women, 5% men.

Drama in the workplace? Does a bear shit in the woods?

All the drama in our office comes from one overweight, 40-something project manager who thinks he knows everything, everything he says should be taken as gospel, and if HE ran the company (instead of the actual owner running it) it would be a much more efficient, profitable venture. He's wrong on all counts.

I used to work with a bunch of human beings and every one of the useless mouthbreathers
carried 4 yards of drama to 1 yard of work.

Yes and they belong to the "rich and vibrant" culture as well

I've found women to be the worst, not because they produce more drama but because it's harder to cope with them when they do. Most of the guys who do it can be dealt with after a good heart to heart, but the women just get meaner and more vindictive after any kind of corrective action.

It's a shame, because some of the worst women doing it were some of the smartest and best workers I've known when they've actually worked. And now there's the ever present fear of them claiming sexual harassment.

I'm glad I'm self employed with no employees, the things some of my clients go through with employees is gawdawful.

The biggest lesson I learned about the workplace after graduating college was that it is like being back in high school again. Drama, gossiping, backstabing, everyone does it, male or female.

Drama isn't exclusive to the womerns.

There was a interesting story written by a self described feminist who left her employer and started her own company, where she hired only women. Her theory was that an all woman company would be better because less fighting or toxic masculinity or whatever mentally ill idiocy feminists conjure up. I think the industry was marketing or advertising or something like that, so not physical at all.

The company quickly descended into cat fighting and bickering, click wars and backstabbing. The company failed in short order.

Found it.

I have a female boss and she is the best boss I've ever had.

One rule ...

"Don't ever lie to me ..."

And she doesn't act pissy if you don't say "Mrs" when you talk to her.

Nurses. What do you think?

I have more problems with the guys actually taking orders and getting shit done.

Most of the women are long term employees with experience and the problem guys are all millennials, so that might be it too.

Nope. That shit don't fly in the camera department baby.

The most annoying people at my last two workplaces were SJWs and gay folks who both seemed to have to make everything about racism and sexuality. We were trying to build cold, calculating software. It was stupid and unnecessary. Ultimately you could ignore their nonsense. I left both companies due to ultra-shitty managers and outsourcing. Now I work from home so it's just me and the dog.

Tl;Dr it's not women, it's shitty people being shitty.

Eta but the dog farts real bad, so there's that to deal with. Jesus.

I used to work with a bunch of women and some girly men. There was drama every day.

I used to cut acrylic with a laser and this one woman always made a big deal about the smell. Said it hurt her head. Funny thing is its the same damn smell she experiences when she has her nails done every week. She doesn't complain about that though.

My wife works in a doctors office with a bunch of women. There is drama every day and I get to hear about it. Thought I got away from that shit.
