Our director of HR had to hire a specialist whose only task was to keep an eye on their conduct and load them up with measurable tasks every time they stabbed each other in the back. After a year or so of piles of tasks every time they hated on each other, they eventually stop or get fired for failing to meet work standards.
Men are generally better at ‘compartmentalizing’ (sp?) So Bird and Jordan play hard but after the game they’ll go out for beers. Women normally don’t operate that way. They’ll hold a grudge and never forget an insult. C’est la vie...
It’s been my observation that a large congregation of women in any workplace are bitchy and backstabbing when a new attractive woman comes into the mix.
Throw in race and sexual preference and Caitlin Clark is the perfect mix to create real problems among the existing women in WNBA
When I worked as a temp in Chicago, one of my assignments was in the customer service dept. of a major publishing firm specializing in educational and training materials. The staff was entirely black women — maybe 10 or 12 or 15. They got along just fine, in fact spent much of the day chatting, laughing, gabbing on the phone, etc. That’s where I and another temp came in. The dept.’s main job was to fulfill requests for pamphlets and “further info” that arrived in the form of small prepaid postcards that arrived every couple of days in USPS mailbags. There were thousands of unfilled requests! Mailbags that had never even been opened were heaped on an unused desk. Ay caramba. Turns out this was their regular procedure: let things go then hire temps to do their work for them.
