It is no coincidence that women's collectives are sometimes compared to a jar full of spiders. Indeed, such organizations have their own specifics. Women are much more attentive and intolerant of other people's shortcomings than men, and therefore they do not forgive mistakes. How to work in a female team and not become a victim of gossip and slander?
There is an opinion that a team in which mainly women work is a real serpentarium. It is in such groups that it is customary to be friends, not being guided by any common interests, but, as they say, “against someone”. There are certain rules, playing in accordance with which, you can organically integrate into the female team and work in it for a long time without loss for your psyche and self-esteem.
How to become your own in a female team?
For a girl who has heard about all the "delights" of working in a female team, it may seem right to keep aloof and not allow herself to be drawn into any conversations on topics not related to work. In fact, this behavior is unlikely to lead to anything good. Women instinctively feel dislike for those who shy away from them, and will surely begin to intrigue and weave intrigues against such a colleague. Ultimately, this can ruin her reputation, which can even lead to dismissal.
Learn to find common ground with colleagues. Unobtrusively find out what each of them is interested in, and use the knowledge gained in conversations with them. Ask your colleagues for their opinions on various issues - they like to feel authoritative. People are very warm to those who are interested in them, and you can use this feature of the human psyche to your advantage.
Think about how to get along with your boss and her secretaries. Even if intrigues and provocations directed against you take place, the good attitude of your superiors towards you will guarantee that you will not be the loser.
Do not under any circumstances spread gossip or take part in how others gossip. Women are able to turn everything upside down and make you feel guilty, taking out of the context of the conversation even a few phrases you uttered. Do not expose yourself to the risk of becoming a victim of provocation and do not show interest in even the most "peppery" rumors.
How not to go crazy in a female team?
In any organization where women work, there is at least one bitchy employee, manipulator and provocateur. If you happen to communicate with her, in no case lose your temper and do not get annoyed, because this is exactly the reaction she expects.
Imagine that in her place is an unreasonable child or a seriously ill person - after all, you will not break down on someone who is not responsible for their actions?
Be sociable, do not skimp on compliments, and treat your colleagues with something tasty from time to time. This will make them feel warmer and more cordial towards you. Finally, don't give an excuse to gossip about you messing around in the workplace. Perform your job duties perfectly.
