This actually mirrors what I've seen in the workplace over the last 35 years - women can be very brutal to each other (just like men). The main difference I've observed is that men tend to forgive each other and move on. Women seem more likely to hold a grudge. I'm obviously not interested in making sweeping generalizations - and this is not a scientific study.
- jsmthrowaway 10y ago> I'm obviously not interested in making sweeping generalizations That is not obvious to me given the antecedent observations that ultimately brought us to this claim.
- smoyer 10y agoWhat I meant is that these characteristics were observed in only the small number of workplaces that have employed me. And I could have gone on to correlate these behaviors to other characteristics but purposely didn't do that. More importantly, I could elicit corroboration from others who worked in these locations including the woman who first pointed this trend out to me. Of course, the better technique would be to collect aanonymized data from a wide range of HR departments and look for statistical trends. When complete you'd still see biases ... just like only studying trends by analyzing Twitter.
- jsmthrowaway 10y agoThat makes much more sense but wasn't clear from the way you put that.
