I work on a campus... there are many department offices here where there are NO males.... NONE....
These are offices where there have never BEEN any males. Males are systematically excluded from all consideration when it's time to screen applicants.
It's wall-to-wall, pointless, counterproductive drama and gratuitous hatefulness in some of these offices. You couldn't find a more toxic and stressful work environment than this. It's what you get with ONLY women in the workplace.
Do they have more than one restroom ?
Been there, done that.....you are right, they spend more time seeking pecking order rather than doing productive work.
