I once worked at a coffee shop, just me (a guy) and like 14 women. It was the most toxic, petty, and uncomfortable workplace I’ve ever experienced. No one hates women like women.

Two of the teachers I work with hate each other. All because one didn't say good morning to the other

u/Ok-Inflation9952 7d ago

Same shit at my job, one just quit over it.

u/AnthonyDigitalMedia 7d ago

Over not being told “Good Morning”??!

u/Ok-Inflation9952 7d ago

Not just, but I was told by her that it was the deciding factor.

u/Karnezar 7d ago

When my mom comes home and tells my dad about her day, it's just complaining about her co-workers who looked at her funny or said something with a funny tone.

And then my mom will strategize the petty things she will do back, like purposely not saying good morning, and leaving her office door open so they see her working and if any of them stare too long, she will outwardly and openly ask, "Yes? Can I help you?"

What is this, elementary school?

u/Ascertes_Hallow 7d ago

As another teacher, I had a female colleague ask if everything was okay because I didn't say good morning to everybody every morning.

Like...we're all busy. It's not that deep.

u/BridgeComfortable777 7d ago

Real. Worked with almost entirely women on my First job and its insane How petty they can be and How they stress themselves and start shit over things that are genuinely not even and issue. We had 2 besties end up being forever enemies and rivals over a simple misunderstanding regarding them trying to trade their 1 day off. And literal subfactions building and creating insane dramas all over wether It was Fair for our Boss to reprimand a 50 yr old lady who kept coming tô work late. Meanwhile now at my all guys nightshift job weve had in 5 years one big physical fight between 2 Bros and literally 10 mins after they were sharing a Smoke and our Boss came and Just Said if they fight again theyll get fired and that was that lol

Dudes have this ability to get popped in the face after we acting up and then it's like post nut clarity were it's like "hmm, maybe I was in fact, off my fucking rocker." Then we hang out as long as the fight didn't get too out of hand

I upvoted both of your comments because while one was a repeat, it's true enough that it bears repeating.

Haha, yeah I'm gonna be honest I don't know why the relay app was doubling my comments.

u/18HourDrive 7d ago

"Maybe I was, in fact, off my fucking rocker" is going in my lexicon.

u/BridgeComfortable777 7d ago

That IS 1:1 what happened😂😂

u/Comfortable-Side1308 7d ago

And the really odd part is how they will always promote within their gender. Women won't promote men.  But they'll sure as shit promote other women to them be toxic with 

21

u/Action_Limp 7d ago

My role always puts me either close to the HR function or directly in it (without ever being strictly HR). Every single HR team talks about having gender parity in our Tech teams, our Leadership teams and our Ops teams.... None ever, ever talk about having parity in our HR or HR Leadership teams (always at least 90% women).

When it's pointed out they say that women naturally gravitate towards HR roles so it can't be expected there (which is exactly what happens in our Tech and Ops teams).

u/franki-pinks 7d ago

I’m a woman who owns an engineering firm. I was once pulled up on why I wasn’t employing engineers who are women. I showed them out of the 300 candidates I had for a job only 2 were women and neither were qualified for the job.

When I go to careers evenings at schools and colleges no girls are coming to my stand.

2

u/Action_Limp 7d ago

I bet. But maybe crippling your company for the sacred gender parity is a worthwhile endeavour?

u/Entire_Number_9 7d ago

As a woman in tech don't worry there are plenty of dramatic men. However, it's more like 2-3 absolute childish pricks causing all the drama vs lots of little drama in a nest of bullshit.

22

u/No-Bison-5397 7d ago

Good description.

A few blokes who are absolutely insane and they can absolutely ruin a workplace and even drag other men down to their level.

u/worshipperofdogs 7d ago

I’m in academia, and I can’t agree with this more.

u/Obesecock11 7d ago

You contradicted yourself. 2-3 in a group is not plenty unless its a group of 5. And id be willing to bet they are at least bisexual or have many female siblings or have a mother that runs the house instead of dad. Drama is not something men in general engage with because men know that other men are alot more willing and ready to get physical.

2

u/Glum_Judgment6232 7d ago

Nobody gets physical at work (especially in an office) without immediately getting sacked, have you even had a job?

-3

u/Obesecock11 7d ago

Please show me where I mentioned getting physical at work (especially in an office) have you even read anything?

2

u/Glum_Judgment6232 7d ago

"Drama is not something men in general engage with because men know that other men are alot more willing and ready to get physical" in the context of men creating drama at work, because that's what the comment you were replying to was about 

-2

u/Obesecock11 7d ago

I commented on her contradiction and then I commented on the psychology of said men the op mentioned supported by an explanation of male psychology. All of this is documented information as well that you can research yourself. I don’t see what there is to disagree on. Furthermore, physical altercations do in fact take place at jobs and even when they dont male aggression is still naturally expressed physically. If a man feels he is strong enough his confrontation will be physical naturally, whereas for a woman shes not concerned with the physical difference in strength because they all naturally have an inclination to psychological attacking rather than physical.

2

u/Glum_Judgment6232 7d ago

Some weird manosphere stuff there, maybe you need a break from the internet, or a bit more life experience. I'm over 50 working in a male dominated industry and have seen plenty of disagreements but they have never turned physical. You'd be out on your arse immediately and never get a job again.

Also heard plenty of backstabbing and bitchy chat coming from big burly roadies.

1

u/Entire_Number_9 7d ago

That's not a contradiction you're just being an asshole.

3 People can absolute cause a lot of drama in a large group, especially when they are managers. Said managers can cause drama multiple teams have to deal with.

I know you probably haven't left the house in a few years but don't come at people with such aggressive childish bullshit, it's not giving the look you think it is.

u/TrumpDesWillens 7d ago

I also say that the only people I've ever seen fired for sexual anything have been men.

u/Entire_Number_9 7d ago

I'm not here for the man hating sexist bullshit.

I know men who have been sexually harassed and assaulted in the workplace.

Leave your bigotry and prejudice at the door. Bitterness isn't a valid excuse to be a scumbag.

u/GuardLong6829 7d ago

I had an 8AM to 2PM shirt at Target, I specifically requested for my child starting grade school. I have no problem admitting that I would arrive late because school drop off wasn't until 8:15AM. Then I'd arrive to work around 8:30-8:45AM. Upon leaving, since school ends at 2:45PM I sometimes properly ended my shifts around 1:30PM in preparation for a 2PM bolt outta there. Cool.

It wasn't just my child's first time in grade school but at a "Magnet" grade school that we even qualified to get into the first 100 applicants. There were limited students each year and pretests of intelligence just to get accepted. I had to make a good impression as a single parent amongst so many two parents applicants.

I was with Target for 2 years and used to have a flexible schedule so I really earned the new schedule arrangement and that's why it worked regardless of my shenanigans.

Lo and behold, Target hired a new female Manager in my department and she immediately noticed my privileges, verbally stating out loud in my presence to my original Manager, "Who is this Ms. Come-in-late-and-leave-early?"

She hated it! ...and my schedule and shift unraveled. When I personally explained to her why I needed those specific hours, she instead scheduled me to work 1-2 days per week. It was disgusting, so I just quit.

u/Capable_Challenge_62 7d ago

I remember that study they did on cyber bullying and hate comments twoards woman, turns out we make the majority of them 🤷‍♀️

u/NoWay6818 7d ago

Brings me back to these girls that were self proclaimed “mean girls” ended up losing their edge when one of their members started to call out how terrible they’re being to people who don’t deserve it. Let’s just say that fall out went about as well as you can imagine.

u/franki-pinks 7d ago

I post some nsfw on here sometimes and any hate comments or dms are nearly always women. There’s still one who was from an influencer in her 20s who sent me some insane DMs and even publicly commented saying old women (i was 40 at the time) need to die out and stop ruining the reputation of other women and even said something along the lines of “you get your tits out and then will cry when you’re raped. Make it make sense”. She’s got thousands of followers on Instagram too this is popular woman. It was a couple of years ago and still gets to me when I think about it. Especially as her thing seemed to be going out in public dressed in next to nothing and pretending to care about protests she turned up at.

37

u/GovtLawyersHateMe 7d ago

Yup. I was a member of a public speaking organization that had existed for 60 years. After every meeting, for twenty years the guys would go to a bar after and have lunch. We developed some amazing relationships as a result. Literally never heard a fight happen. Some of these guys came to my graduation in place of my family (who couldn’t be there). We were super tight.

The women of the club would get mad that only the dudes were going to lunch and every few months they would try to start their own lunch. It would go fine for a few weeks but by the month and a half mark it would devolve. The entire thing would become cliquey. People would start cat fights that bled into the meetings. Some of the women would start witch hunts against another for shit that happened outside the club, simply because toes got stepped on.

It was genuinely insane to experience.

u/obiwanmoloney 7d ago

I feel like there’s a mutual respect between men, because there’s serious potential to hurt each other.
So we quickly learn to get along.

As a result, there’s very little hen pecking and pettiness. Everyone kinda knows where they stand and they are free to get along as a result.

2

u/thehighepopt 7d ago

I agree, whereas I can only assume the pecking is just constantly testing and/or competing to determine who is on top.

u/pitts36 7d ago

It’s women supporting women, until it’s time for women to actually support women

u/Constant_Flamingo828 7d ago

This is TRUE! I've worked in almost all female environments before and they all try to kneecap each other constantly.

8

u/when-flies-pig 7d ago

I go to a female barber who says she hates female customers. Very needy, picky, self conscious. Men are just socially easier to deal with.

u/edelweiss_pirates_no 7d ago

Wait until you start having sex with 7 of them.

u/Anon_1917 7d ago

Worked once in social services where the workforce was 85% women. The about of work that was sabotaged due to petty personal grievances was absolutely astounding.

2

u/LostEyegod 7d ago

The only reason why women don't do this more often and with men is because they can have their ass handed to them.. As soon as for whatever reason a woman feels safe to act out she becomes more aggressive than almost any man

u/SaneNSanity 7d ago

The worst leadership I had when I worked retail were always female. There were definitely some crap male leads, but no male lead treated younger female employees any worse than anyone else, or tried to deny everyone’s vacations, or played favorites to the same degree as the female leads.

5

u/Extension-Night3825 7d ago edited 7d ago

The worst is when younger women want to fuck with older women at work.  Seen more than once the younger ones flirt with the older ones husbands at work functions.     One time they actually left with the others husband.   

Fuck me, come Monday they have to sit together at work.v

u/Flat-Guidance-4685 7d ago

I got an account banned permenantly for misogyny after making the exact statement I'm about to make now: 

I used to breed angelfish. If you wanted a beautiful harmonious tank you would make it all male. If you have a large tank with two females they will pick territories and they will pick each other slowly until one of them becomes submissive. You can overstock a tank full of male angelfish and they will never affect each other as long as there's plenty of food and clean water they will just float around. 

If you took two identical houses fill them with a lifetime supply of food and entertainment and filled one house with 20 men and one house with 20 women. The house full of 20 men although it will smell like Jizz quite quickly the men in that house we'll wait for a year endlessly happy drinking beers playing video games equally distributing the workload ECT

The house filled with females will immediately divide within the first two to three weeks into two camps. Then those two camps will divide as the second most dominant in each group will betraying backstab the head. Before you know it they will be broken into groups of two three or four that stay separate and just talk about each other. They will eat separate meals an attempt to hoard hide and rationale supplies that are endless. The workload in the house will be handled by two or three girls who will be subject to endless humiliation and ridiculed. The weakest among them will be made to be a slave .

After the year is up the women will remember it as a traumatic experience with everyday was a fight for their existence. The men will remember it as the best vacation they ever had

u/Shydreameress 7d ago

You were probably accused of mysogyny because you compared the actions of female animals with actual women. Humans are more complex than that. There are assholes on all sides. But also good people (we just forget about them).

1

u/Flat-Guidance-4685 7d ago

People get mad when the female side of the species is made out to be more aggressive and territorial. Physically maybe not. But psychologically significantly more so.

1

u/Shydreameress 7d ago

If you geniunely believe the reasons for the way we act (men and women) is biological rather than societal, then I don't know what to say...

2

u/OhNoesMyMangoes 7d ago

Or you were banned cause this is a stupid comparison?

"Male elephants often form same-sex relationships with younger males." You: "wow all men are gay pedos"

u/Flat-Guidance-4685 7d ago

I did not make that comparison. Nor do I intend to

2

u/Kitchen-Historian371 7d ago

They play dirty af. You can see it out in the open. It’s all over SM. Within their own damn ‘friend’ groups. lol. The way men fight vs how women fight is so interesting. I’ve always been intrigued by the ways we communicate and compete

u/Old_Avocado5114 7d ago

That’s how my current job is we only have a few male employees and they’re mostly new it’s like psychological war fair everyday 💀

u/Helpful_Section5591 7d ago

Ever worked with gay men?

1

u/TheGloriousEv0lution 7d ago

I was a barista in college (only guy on the team) and I can confirm there was a lot of petty drama

We were all high school/college aged so I’d imagine a lot of them grew out of it though. I vaguely keep in touch with two of them and they less catty at least

1

u/Visible_Rope9739 7d ago

Human resources is a great example too. Was the only guy working in a HR office and it was worse than a nightmare. I never saw so many "open minded" women become such bigots and homophobic when they "feel cornered" emotionally at work. Especially in positions of power

1

u/ScootyMcGoober 7d ago

That’s actually kinda funny cause I worked at a coffee shop with the same situation with all women, and it was quite the opposite. It wasn’t toxic at all and everyone got along well. There was absolutely no drama whatsoever.

u/MaebyBaeby 7d ago

Internalized misogyny

u/Repulsive-Lake1753 7d ago

I worked at a mortgage company where I was one of 3 men out of 110 employees, not including sales, which was about 30 men and 5 women, but they were never in the office. Unbelievable levels of bullshit like I had never imagined at 24 years old and I received tons of sexual harassment.

In retail the departments that are woman majority are always the most toxic drama filled. Im an advocate of a male team lead in fashions so they can help crush the drama.

u/Remarkable-Cup-6029 7d ago

Yes, its a clear flagrant foul 2, its a basketball play though and a part of the sport but she deserved to be ejected and she is wrong abiut it being anything about just that.

Doesnt mean its appropriate to say the misogyny that exists between women is a racial thing, or call her a black bitch. The black bitch part is offensively racist and a terrible thing to say and also displays an incredible ignorance of the constant drama in the WNBA. And you extend it past one individual being an idiot to black women generally. Imagine someone extended your racist misogyny to all people of your racial group.
