I had sex with a female coworker during lunch.
That was cool.
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.
WHICH women...automatic or stick?
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.
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.
so women in the workplace are all awful, except you?
“Women in the workplace are ghastly”
In my long and varied experience, have had several female supervisors. The ones with the most education tended to be both the dumbest and least humorous. A couple were far smarter than their education-level would indicate, and they tended to be open to suggestions and a bit of kidding. But save me from the hoity-toity pedigreed princesses.
