Women's Day
Self

Posted on 03/08/2024 7:09:06 AM PST by SMARTY

I am going to be ill. All day I am hearing about Women's Day and how wonderful women are in the society and in the work place

In all of the 25 years I worked, the environment was about 90% women, or nearly. It was wall-to-wall drama with trip wires everywhere.

I have NEVER received decent treatment from female coworkers. They stole things from my purse, told lies about me, whispered together right in front of me, walked past my desk several times a week going to lunch and never ONCE invited me or even asked 'Can we bring you anything?', sent me hate mail .... etc. It was a nightmare!

Women in the workplace are ghastly

I had sex with a female coworker during lunch.
That was cool.

Of the few female coworkers I've had who were fellow programmers, they were good folks.

However, female project managers tended to have a chip on their shoulders waaaayyyyy more often than male project managers. Especially the women managers with masters or phD's: perhaps the extra years of indoctrination marked them into always being bitter. Not all of them, but there seemed to be a trend.

In hindsight, my decision wasn’t wise. Quite a while ago.

I’m remote now, problem solved…

Ahhhhh ... the annual holiday Celebrated by Communists worldwide for the overthrow of Russia. Originally fabricated by the Socialist Party of America in 1909, it spread to Russia. IWD is essentially a celebration of the Communist Revolution in Russia.

On March 8, 1917, in Petrograd (February 23, 1917, on the Julian calendar), women textile workers began a demonstration that eventually engulfed the whole city, demanding “Bread and Peace”—an end to World War I, to food shortages, and to Tsarism. This marked the beginning of the February Revolution, which alongside the October Revolution, made up the Russian Revolution. Revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky wrote, “23 February (8th March) was International Woman’s Day and meetings and actions were foreseen. But we did not imagine that this ‘Women’s Day’ would inaugurate the revolution. Revolutionary actions were foreseen but without a date. But in the morning, despite the orders to the contrary, textile workers left their work in several factories and sent delegates to ask for the support of the strike… which led to mass strike... all went out into the streets.” Seven days later, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated, and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.

I don’t have problems with women as long as they don’t start eating their abortions.

A lot of women get a masters or a PhD and their overall expectations in life increase. Many think they are brilliant at work and are insufferable, particularly if the degree is in a non-STEM field.

In dating they think it increases the SMV. It is like tattoos; a lot of single guys don’t want to deal with women with advanced degrees, particularly, those with an attitude. Some guys think it’s a plus but overall, it probably narrows their market and that really hacks them off.

During my adult working career of 33 years, I had 3 different female supervisors. Couldn’t have asked for better and was indeed lucky/fortunate!

Maybe my perspective comes from working on many different projects for many clients (sometimes internal customers/functional users, but sometimes external to whoever I worked for). That’s often the nature of software development — finish a task and move to the next group that needs software. Thus, I’ve worked with enough project managers to pick up on some common themes.

Re: Women in the workplace as ghastly

Yep! Yes, indeed they are. I was a registered nurse. I wisely moved into a far better-paying profession dominated by men.

It was a much better experience.

The best work environments I’ve experienced have been half and half guys and girls. That seems to keep each side in check.

That said, as a woman with a tech job, I’d rather work with a bunch of guys. My current team is mostly gals and we just got thru two major back-stabbings and unfriendings. In one week.

Next worse situation is to work with gay guys. Even more drama. (And I don’t CARE what you do in your free time. Please just shut up.)

As far as international women’s day at work I’ve told people to leave me out because it reminds me too much of the old Soviet Union.

No doubt when moving constantly to new groups. Mine were all static for years. I might add I had far more male bosses over my career..both military and fed government...and they were all equally superb human beings. I was extremely lucky😀! I fully understand that others not so lucky.

Gay guys are the worst to work with.
Listening about their private life drama and their 24/7 obsession with gay sex is extremely exhausting.
