Yes, I prefer working with men. They arnt as sensitive and I tend to be a very sarcastic person.
The women I work with (95% of the staff) are very bitchy

Christ was that bad wasnt it.
All the problems in the current team I work in are caused by the two girls in our team. Bitching, moaning, talking behind peoples backs, back stabbing, complaining to the management team and generally cause trouble.

I don't usually watch the programme, Peg does, but bloody hell, it was worse than a bunch of cackling hens! Had to make him turn down the volume!
It is easier working with men, you know where you stand!
I tend to try and keep to myself at work- easier that way.
The accounts girls who I can hear all day bitching, once one is on holiday the bitching starts about the one that isn't there! :rolleyes:
My own colleague sends moaning emails to my boss about things that I haven't done. She sits next to me and it is nothing to just say "Lindsey can you do.... or have you forgotten I could really do with...." but instead she sends an emailing saying the work that I haven't got round to doing yet so that she can see our boss call me and ask me to do it, and you can see she gets a kick from it! :rolleyes:
I also have more male friends than females as I soon discovered at school that I couldn't be bothered with the games that us females create! :p
Edit: regarding the Apprentice I was ashamed to be female!

At my place you cant tell anyone anything unless you would like it to be public knowledge.
Its a case of chinese whispers between most of the ladies there.

I regularly spectate arguments at work between the lasses. It sometimes get like the apprentice
and the rumours that get started, if I find out who started the last one (which involved me) words will be said

The girl I work with does that, She wont ask me things directly, she'll send me emails asking me questions and copies in my boss. I am not sure whether she does it to try and make me look stupid or shes doing it wind me up, or she does it because she is genuinlely stuck and struggles and wants help.
She got rollocked by one line manager, who said to her "Why do you email him, you sit next to each other talk to each other"
Best thing she ever did to me. Was she took 2 months off to go travelling, the manager at the time asked me could I cope with being the only one in our team for 2 months. I said I could as I could see she was having personal issues and needed some time out to sort her head out. I thought she would be better once she returned.
2 days after she got back, she sent my boss a mahoosive email, complaining about me, saying that I had done a sh*te job whilst she was on holiday and basically ran me into the ground. I found out she had done it and have never forgiven her for it since. She frequently complains about me and is just about impossible to deal with.

Woman or bloke tends not to matter. Job's gotta be done No1. Priority although i don't think i'm gonna see many women working with HV because i don't think they are brought up to respect dangers in the same way men are.

top tip for women Bitching at work, work hard, get to be the boss, when they bitch sack em, they can gosssip all they like then, only need to do it once or twice and the workplace becomes a pleasant place to be
usually there are ringleaders of this stuff, those are the ones to target
honestly though just ignore it

Yep I had a hell of a time with a woman I work with, I nearly handed my notice in over it. It blew out of control on 2 occasions and on the second one I walked out of work not intending to go back as I didn`t feel I was supported. I realised then that I was about to leave a job that I loved and that i`d been doing for a long time and I changed my way of thinking. I tried to stop seeing the negative qualities in her and looked for (and found) some positive. I gradually came to accept that she just worked a different way from me and I also realised that a lot of her problems stemmed from poor emotional intelligence, the latter made me more tolerant and supportive of her ideas if appropriate.
I learnt to changed my approach so that when I recognised that I was starting to get a bit annoyed i`d either walk away or mentally count to ten! I also found the courage to challenge her ideas if I felt it appropriate, I was always professional tho and I think she learnt to respect me for it and I started to gain some respect for her and now we can work quite amiably together.

Clairs' boss at work is horrible to some (she has been brilliant over Clairs' illness though i must add), bullies some of the other women a bit, not Clair, she loves her, Clair dont take sh1te from anybody at work, consultants or anyone.
They do it once but never again lol
People respect the fact that you are not a doormat and you will snap at them if they do snap at you.
Some of her colleagues need to grow a pair tbh and stand up for themselves.

Its true though, you put 20 blokes together, most will get on and probably socialise together outside of work, 20 women and 2-3 will get on and rest will bitch about the others.
Its a competitive thing with women, men dont care.

Women at work are ok, as long as they know when the blokes need a cup of tea and a biscuit, and also as long as they are fit and wear classy slightly revealing clothes.

Yep got an issue at the minute with someone - i prefer working with men than women sick of it
There's one of our admin staff who has taken an dislike to my immediate colleague, who just happens to be the careful, consciencious a dilligent member of the team. Reports him to line management, making things up. She is nasty and spiteful. The line management know this but haven't dealt with it yet.
Interestingly, her attitude has changed now that jobs are under threat ;-)
Like everyone else, the blokes are much easier to work with. Sure, there are the occasional disagreements (it's a stressful job) but they are short lived and when they are done they are done.
Verna, its you ;) :lol:
Anyway, as i have said, i dont know what these women are doing out of the Kitchen :rolleyes:
No problems with our office well not since the old boss left and the girls that was causing all the problems stopped getting ******** left right and centre. She's turned into a really nice colleague who is now seeing what we all saw in the boss.
Maybe it helps that we all hate the same person though.
the womens here are terrible. bitching and moaning about each other, about the management and no doubt about me too. of course none of it is said to my face or to whomever theyre venting their poorly aimed anger at. and my god do they evesdrop! then (as was mentioned earlier) the chinese whispers start. only 2 weeks ago we had a woman in tears because she "over heard" the boss say yep as soon as that is installed she'll be out of a job... of course she didnt start booing to the boss, she went to another woman colleagues office.

Some women at work are a real pain in the bum
I suffer one woman who is desperate to prove she is so superior to me. She is a customer services manager, her customer being the site that hosts us. I don't do any work for that site, am not interested in it I simply need an office and that is the nearest company site to my home. So she delights in telling me I have no authority there and to keep out of any conversations, not to give advice or anything else. So now I don't, I ignore everyone.
I also had a secretary whose opening line when I inherited her. (Requested a secretary and HR magicked her out the cupboard) I don't make tea, I don't do shorthand. So what do you do?
But best of all was one programmer I asked at her annual appraisal how she liked working in such a male dominated environment. Great, it is more letching and less bitching than my last job.
There was one woman though who used to complain if she did not get her fair share of sexual harassment.
timwilky - that sec sounds like Dons latest sec on Mad Men ....;)

I tend to not get bothered by it too much now. It used to really upset me. I had a few colleagues of the female variety that always tried to make things difficult for me as I was the new girl and really young and stuff. They did a lot of stirring, back stabbing and bitching about me. Things came to a head and it was one of the many reasons I nearly left the job (read, got pushed out of the job) just before my 2 years probation was up and I ended up just putting my head down and concentrating on what I wanted to do.
Now, the probably continue to bitch about me but it doesn't really bother me because I don't spend time with any of the ones who ran back to tell me "so and so said such and such about you" because I realised they were just as bad. I also don't get it so bad as there are lots of other examples of "fresh meat" to target.

I work in a marketing dept so there are LOADS of women, and actually I find everyone to be really nice, friendly and supportive. There are a couple of very senior women in the company who are really hard nosed and you deffo wouldn't want to get on their bad side, but there are at least as many knobhead senior guys as well.
My main problem is that all the women on my floor there's less space for attractive eye-candy to help the day pass by ;) :lol:
i am fairly new in the back to work stakes. I work in a garage on a sunday, all guys - no problem except a few of them keep staring at my cleavage when talkin to me. My other job is as a receptionist in pre assessment dept of local hospital, loads of nurses. they are a wild bunch, very sarcastic but not at all bitchy. only problem I have had at work was when I was 16 and office junior in a local solicitors. main woman was horrible to me for weeks. I eventually exploded and asked what her f***in problem was and walk out. boss came to my house that night as asked me to come back next day. I did and she was fine with me ever since. Life is too short to allow people to make you miserable at work.

And why is that a problem? ;)
Wear a T shirt that says, "look me in the eyes and stop staring at my tits", in small unobtrusive letters where a breast badge would normally be, so that they don't notice it until they are actually staring at your tits.

( apart from the obvious !!) but don't fancy turning to prostitution just yet pmsl !!! fanks all and good evening to you ! x
Verna, sorry to hear you are having such a horrid time with your work colleges.
Sometimes though even when you feel you want to smack them, a night out when they aren’t in the work environment might reveal a side to someone that you hadn’t seen before and like. I know you feel that you can’t stand going out for a social time with them, but it may turn out that you can use the evening to your advantage and have something to be able to bring you together and work better together in the future.
I think women at work bring allot to the table, generally a balanced team will bring great qualities and compliment each other’s assets. I don’t think it is restricted to a gender thing should this not happen.

Eugh - seen some awful male bitching this week - I was fairly oblivious. Thought that chaps had a set instead of festering actually said something - how wrong I was! Made me sick to my stomach all day - i didn't eat (which is like my favourite-est thing ever).
Think I'm over it now, wish I hadn't seen what I saw....
Yuk!
Ew!
Wouldn't be easier to work with dogs or something?
Oh hun glad you have it sorted for now cheif bitch in our place is on holiday this week so its not so bad for me this week - it will get worse when she gets back as she want my job and now my boss is staying it will get worse but we shall see
T thought you were leaving your job?
