1.) > > Literally all this shows is that women are more likely to say that the workplace is toxic nothing else;
2.) > People say the workplace is toxic typically when the workplace is indeed toxic. I'm not sure what you think you're getting at.
There's a mismatch in axioms between the two opposing statements.
(2.) includes the axiom of "100% of all toxic workplaces are publicly called out as toxic".
(1.) has the axioms of "The probability of toxic workplaces being publicly called out is < or =/= 100%", and that "The probability of (women calling out toxic workplaces) > Probability of (men calling out toxic workplaces)"
There's essentially a series of probabilistic hurdles that need to be passed in order for a workplace to be labelled toxic:
1) Actually toxic workplace: (% chance of encountering toxic behavior)^(min_#_of_occurrences_to_label_as_toxic) * (% chance of deciding to report it)
2) Wanting to lie about the workplace being toxic: (% willingness to lie)
For (2), the workplace in question doesn't need to be toxic: The person in question just needs to label them as such.
It should be noted that currently (1) is *significantly* more likely than (2).
The overall function, when combined: file_report_based_on_scenario(1) || file_report_based_on_scenario(2)
----
The above explanation was required in order to focus on the latter part of (1): The % chance of a person deciding to report it.
The research shown gives at least 5 potential conclusions that need to be verified:
A) Men are less likely to report toxic workplaces on Glassdoor than women (1.'s claim)
B) Women encounter more toxic interactions than men (2.'s claim)
C) The threshold for what is considered a toxic workplace for women is lower than men
D) Men in general treat toxic interactions differently than women
E) Any combination of (A), (B), (C), and/or (D)
As noted in simplotek's reply to GP:
> > Also for some reason I’m pretty sure that men are unlikely to backstab their former employer and instead silently move on (...)
> So far, all the dick moves I ever witnessed being directed by former employees towards their employers were done by men. One guy even went to the extent of buying lunches to new hires after leaving the company just to dump on his forme boss, even though he supposedly left in good terms.
Men are far more likely to enact "dick moves" than to report the toxic workplace in question, which is otherwise an indirect approval of (1.)'s axioms.
