Do you think women don't belong in the office?

women belong everywhere as long as they can fit in.. i would totally disagree with the fact that they dont belong in the office because they are part of our everyday activity and as such belong everywhere... they sometimes make office work boring but in general they are good office counterparts

I am a female and work in a office. I know what you mean. THere is always gossip around this office. I dont talk about anyone bad. But often do i overhear someone talking about someone else. I also hear from a a few of my coworkers about things that have been said about me. I just dont let it get to me. In our office there are a few women and men. I dont know how many of each but its seems about equal. To me it doesn't seem to matter. Yes woman are more into gossiping but alot of places you go there will be gossip.

Though I agree with you about the pettiness among most women, however there is also this sort of gossiping and pettiness among men as well. It's the culture in the organisation that allows these sort of situations to breed - so I feel that, in such organisations, the top management should take a good look, find out the source of the problems and take steps to rectify, before the organisation is negatively impacted by scandal-mongers, backbiters and gossipers. As an employer, I feel that women are still important in the office, as there are jobs that a woman can do better, especially when it comes to paying attention to details or customer care. I'm not saying that men are not good; just that there are more women that can do this better.

The Boss sets the tone for this. If you allow or even reward with attention this type of behavior you will have a bunch of teens working for you. If you conduct your self in a professional manner and you expect this from your workers this is what you will get. You are there to be successful not to be loved, to be respected not to be buddies. I ran a large office of women in banking for many years with none of this behavior and we had the most successful bank in our area.

I am a woman and my last job was in an office. We had a small department of 9 people, 6 of which were women. In this group there were both sides of the spectrum...luckily the majority of the women (including me) could control there emotions. I admit I have been guilty of participating in some gossip but as far as name-calling, starting rumors, or getting jealous, well that is not my thing.

I feel you've made a hasty generalization. I work in an office full of women, and while I agree that an office full of ONLY women can lose all functionality, so too can an office full of only men. If even one man is introduced to an office that's predominantly woman, the office functions better. When it's all women, there are too many emotions, but when it's all men, they spend all of their time talking about women or playing pranks on each other. Either way, no work gets done. I feel that an office full of both men AND women is the only way for a workplace to function properly.

women still belong to the office,eventhough they are emotional, it is not also suitable or appropriate for women to see in the field or doing manual work.

I am a woman. also a working woman. But I can't fully agree with you.I have seen in my organization( which is a large MNC) the women work more seriously than men. There is less back stabbing among women than men. I think it varies on situation.

I agree with you. At my office, most of the problems are caused by women. They spread rumors, talk about others and cause trouble. It makes work very difficult when the atmosphere is like that. The guys cause no problems.

I don't know. I have been in my office where I thought that more women would do good for us, as we will get more chance of flirting with them LOL. For the sake of organization, I won't say that to many women would do bad but it won't be that good actually. Woman are less tough while it comes to control your emotions while men can do that.

No because a man's ego can harm a company just as much. THhis is generalized reasoning. If there is a problem with a peron so much that they are the detrimental downfall of an organization then they should be fird, man or woman. to say women shouldn't be in the office would be communicating a message to everyone tah women are somehow inadequate...when when men have just as many problems, however different.

not really,depend to what type of woman..i never see any catfight in my company..but it also depend to what kind of department you working..my department are very serious in their work,while when i am gone to other department.they goofing around..

I am a woman too and I agree to what you are saying. Woman are too emotional and tend to be weak to cope with personal and professional stuffs at the same time. If i had an organisation i would have prefered to take more men than women too. Sorry Im not being bad but I work in an office too and I see how it is with women and men. There are too much gossiping in my office and I just hate that.

Gossip is denifitely one of women's weaknesses.But they also has a lot of strengthes.And they are more stronger than men when they deal with kinds of disasters.Strong women is not afraid of anything. Women can not be denied in the office.I had some bad experiences with one of my male collegues before.He neve do work and never cooperate with people in the office except the boss.It is very hard to communicate with him.He survived in the office for 6 years.How nice my boss.But my boss finally fired him!!!Because of the finicial crisis.

Honestly, I think that it just depends on the person, male or female. I am a woman also, but I don't like to form an opinion solely based on things like that. Although I have worked in an office with both men and women and I do notice that women are more likely to exhibit "catty behavior" and enjoy spreading gossip. However, I can also say that men like to hear gossip too; they just don't spread it as often as women, but I know they enjoy being nosy and finding out all the latest juicy details that are going on. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

In this day and age I think men are just as emotional as women. It is the 21st century. We now have no reason to question anyones sexuality or discriminate. I think that because of this men and woman both have switched roles. Disputes are everywhere. Unfortunately for us I think woman take the fall or blame for most of the goings on because its always expected that women are supposed to be catty and jealous. These days men are too. I think as longs as we are allowed to be a free thinking nation, we will always have this problem. dl

It just comes down to hiring the right people, no matter whether they're a man or a woman. You have to weigh the pros and cons of everyone that you could potentially hire. If you think that a person is just going to create too much drama in the office, or if he or she, no matter how well qualified, would do more harm than good to your organization, then don't hire them. Or if if someone like that is already working for you, start looking for a replacement. I think that there are plenty of well qualified women that won't bring all of that baggage and drama to the work place. You just have to look hard to find them.

There are situations that women belong to the office, but what if women had taken engineering courses? So this will be different, I myself a graduate of computer engineering wants on field always because while I'm staying at the office, I get so bored and my mind was so stucked up with everyday routines. Oh well that's my opinion...

hello there... I've been working in an office, we are all women there. The company works very well and runs smoothly. Well it really depends on what your company needs. If you think men can do all the office works then you hire men only. But I think women are also needed in some special aspects. You would needed some of women's advices or opinions. Women have different tastes compared to men. Women could plan better especially on how to attract consumers or clients. And also some women are good in convincing consumers or clients.

They do belong in an office if they choose to :P
