Thread Name: BS: Why don't women work well together ?
Subject: RE: BS: Why don't women work well together ?
Back in the days when I worked as a fulltime labour representative, I found that the bargaining units which were all or mostly women had more grief between workers themselves, and between workers and management. For a while I mistakenly believed it was a gender thing, but came to understand it had much more to do with the pink collar ghetto-ization of the workforce. These were mostly healthcare workers in the public sector, hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, etc. It had more to do with systemic malfunction, mistreatment, mismanagement, manipulation, prejudice, and crapola wages, than gender.

My personal experience of working with women has been very positive, including when I was the lone guy in an office with several others workers.

I hear tales, but I bet men are as bad. And we jump to gender conclusions too readily.

Peace, Mooh.
