Trouble with all-women work environments: Too much gossip. Too many cliques. Too much drama.

i keep my head down and my mouth shut
What the he!! is “The Wing”? I read the link below and still don’t know how the thing was supposed to work.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wing_(workspace)M
A bunch of catty, bitchy and woke women locked up in a common work space, what could possibly go wrong
I’ve always preferred working with no one. It’s why they put me in the back lab
As someone with four sisters and four daughters, I know better than to weigh in on this one.
I recall reading a bout a women’s bar that closed after a week in Portland. The female employees revolted and wanted to takeover. So the initial investment went up in smoke.
“as a pioneering, women-only coworking space,”
Can men set up a men-only working space?
Picture of Clinton in the bathroom? Tacky!
Thanks for posting this feel good story.
Makes me smile first thing in the morning to hear about snowflakes failing and crying!
“but if you’re not setting up a culture appropriately, it is going to crumble.”
Basically true of any group. It’s not based on whether people in the group are male, female, white, black, hispanic,.. yada, yada, yada,... (IMO)
Go woke, go broke.
The Wing, a women only workspace. What the heck is the business? It’s just a workspace, what does that mean?
The article says there were originally 11 locations for this ‘club’. 11 locations for women to have a workspace. But doing what??
Sounds to me like this womyn received a bunch of woke funding to open a hangout, and then the money ran out. I don’t see much evidence of actual work being done, or even a description of the work at this ‘workspace’.
When I was a teacher, every school I worked at had a clique trying to overthrow the principal and get him/her replaced. Didn’t matter if the principal was black, female, gay, or what. There was always a clique that was out to get the principal. And that clique always consisted of fat women and gay guys.
Meow.
well, apparently they had a great ladies' lounge!
A hundred million in investment by supposedly serious business people for a thing the main point of which was “women only”? Putting this together with the car companies that are ending their ICE production; is everybody going nuts? Is there no blindness woke can’t induce?
Never heard of it
I wonder if Lia Thomas would have used this service if it needed temporary office space.
I owned a clinic with one other male veterinarian and twelve female employees. There was always drama, turmoil, and backstabbing. I am glad I am retired and far away from that headache. Early in my career we had one female receptionist and all other employees were male and we had few problems. Once the female numbers increased so did the problems.
$100 million was lost on this totally stupid idea ...
