You two lack understanding or plain childish.

Bro. have you eaten? U loook hungry!

This is just my honest and unbiased view based on the much I have seen so far, don't harangue me for nothing if you don't have a reasonable thought to express.

Most women, not all are better enjoyed as either wives or just girlfriends, not as colleagues in the workplace. A woman will always work you up so badly with her antics and whatever, that's not good for a place where profitability is paramount and demands camaraderie among the workforce. You don't know how to handle them because their moods swing as hell, one minute they have your nerves frayed, the other minute they are begging in such a way you'd feel so guilty if you don't let go.

They'd carry long faces all day after a slight argument. The worst is that the superiors find it hard to handle their idiosyncrasies.

Some have intolerable attitude. Sucks!

A little news would be peddled all round the block in just a jiffy, thanks to the blackberry. SMH.

During their monthly thing, you can hardly get them to do anything for you. WTF?

I  can go on. Give me a fellow dude to work with any time, any day.

sweettweet:

emmke:

some seem to have something to say at all times. They cant just STHU

@ deluxe I can relate to what you are saying because as a woman I am guilty of some of the things you mentioned such as wearing a long face all day after an argument and mood swings (i.e being pleasant/enthusiastic one day and being totally unethusiastic and real quiet on another day).

Men and women are wired differently and this may account for the difference in our conduct at the work place, another factor that may be responsible could be the lack of basic induction and training for new staff in organizations. Recently I decided to research/read on-line materials on professionalism and what professional conduct truly means.

I was shocked at the number of things that constitute professional conduct at the work place, which I have been ignorant of even though I've worked for 4 years now since NYSC. Granted as employees we often learn most things on the job but this issue of professional conduct/professionalism at the work place is one that should be taught to every employee in the first week of their employment. both experienced and inexperienced recruits should be trained on this as it will go a long way in saving the organization from the sort of issues you stated and preventing employees from commiting too many blunders.

I've oftened heard the phrase "he/she was unprofessional" "be professional" etc etc but until now I never really understood the meaning of the concept or what it entails. Thanks to internet sha, now i know better and will strive to be professional at work. if any of my employers had bothered to train me on this i would be better off today. You know just as parenst train their children, teachers instruct their students and so on, employers do have a certain responsibilty to their employees in this regard.

Outstrip:

So you feel that you did not learn this fast enough because you are female?

deluxecad:



Could you please post some of the content of the professional conduct stuff for us to see and read.

tollu:

you get to hear comments like "this woman needs to get laid".

AjanleKoko:




Most times that creates another dimension of problem.
How have you been anyways?

damiso:

Tollu at the 'this woman needs to get laid', this was the most common phrase used for one of my single 40 something year old managers and if i must be honest i know that woman's own was .

I agee that most women tend to carry around their personal baggage and as you rightly said sometimes maybe taking time off work to clear one's head might be the answer.But can you imagine telling a nigerian employer'I need time off work cos i am depressed and stressed'

All in all, i agree that women have issues but i still believe that it is an unfair generalissation to say most women are better as wives not colleagues(haba so why bother educating girls?)
