New job at another company maybe, but why change your career?

We have 4 women in our office. Two are cool, two are not.

That's not a woman problem, that's a management problem allowing this type of behavior in the workplace.


Yeah, you go say something, then HR visits.

Just talk about the smell of vinegar and how you love moist things.

They'll love you.

The Hen House in my office can be moody one day and fine the next.
One was complaining about another one the other day and I just said "I do not care" and then I was the bad guy. She left my office though which was the goal.

If management is allowing for consistent gossiping and "mean-girling", then you have a larger issue than catty women in your office.

If you said anything to her besides that, within a week by the time she played telephone with every other girl in the office, you’d be an hr meeting with a panel of three pissed off women asking you why you said you, “would like to see what her butthole looks like.”

You're doing this right.

Never ever let women lull you into letting your guard down in the workplace.

Keep it superficial, brief and if they ask for your opinion on something. Always tell them what they want to hear, no matter what it is. Never tell a woman at work the truth about a goddamn thing. Lie to them about everything.

that literally reminds me of when I started working for my company(and a nod to the '84 thread,) people begged to be sexually harassed back then, both sides were dishing it out, and every scenario and everybody was fair game, it was fun, and funny, and everyone knew it was all in fun, sad state that we've devolved to

I’m a brand new manager at my new gig. I’m the only male and the youngest in the entire department. It’s like walking on eggshells everyday.

That’s probably everywhere. There’s one chick that super petty where I work. One guy left work 15 minutes early last week and she sent an email to our manager complainly about it. Funny thing is that it was the guy 2nd to last day on the job so I’m certain management didn’t care. But it’s shite like that.

Said chick is an OT 8 but her pettiness bumps her down to OT 5

My answer:

As I’ve never known anyone to have named their anus (complete or otherwise), I’d go with Tarik One is a Robot.

For context the lower front hole sometimes gets a name:



I love women but not in the workplace.

You just made this thread to say "loquacious", didn't you?
Is she one of the women you're having trouble with?

My entire work life has been in places that are predominantly female. I am the only male in my office these days. I get what the OP is saying.
