"More women work in Fashion and marketing, which have generally more dramatic environments."
Do you have data on this?
- mullingitover 12y agoData point: My girlfriend is a tech designer who's worked at Guess, Hot Topic, and a slew of smaller companies. She absolutely loathes the working environment because of the drama and bitterly regrets getting into the industry. She's considering going into customer service in a call center(!) (a 50%+ pay cut) because the work environments are so stressful in the fashion industry. She explicitly blames it on the gender balance being so female-dominated.
- lukasb 12y agoSo, anecdotal. Got it. But let's say we accept it. We still need data on the "relative drama" of male-dominated industries. And considering this includes industries like finance, law and policing, I think you might be surprised what the answer turns out to be.
- pessimizer 12y agoYes. She may just be seeing the grass as greener on the other side. There's been drama to an absurd degree between men at places that I've worked.
