Yes....it’s pretty much understood “girls will be girls” in our workplace, but the management team knows fully well who they can rely on and who they can’t. It’s rare to rely on most of the young girls who want their managers to be more like mothers than managers. It’s an adjustment to the real world.
But this also makes it difficult for managers at times who cross the line and attempt tp treat mature woman as they might teenagers....it’s a line they must walk and most don’t understand or do that very well. If there are too many young immmature girls on board then managers tend to be in the “parental” mode 2/7...in addition mature woman find they have to draw a line when that gets out of hand...and it can and does.
You can completely take the girl out of everything you wrote and it still holds true. My experience was always that there is a sharp decline in EVERY aspect of a male employee’s performance for every year below 30. 18, 19, and 20, were all pretty much worthless.
