Working with women

[zinc4]

Sucks.

Men are much much more pleasant and easier to work with when in a job setting.

I've recently had to enter an office setting with mostly females doing inside sales as after excelling in the outside sales portion of our company and being stuck with these conniving power tripping ****s is almost unbearable.

I've been begging my boss to let me go out and hit the field again.

I got a few that openly flirt a lit with me but the majority are just moody ultra competitive and bossy peers......a constant stream of them trying to act like they are in management.

I don't have any inside sales experience and am completely new to the computer system they run and this us their foothold of power tripping me. Because I don't know their system yet nor their office procedures and I constantly get them trying to boss me around under the guise of helping me.

The actual office manager is rarely around and offers very little training.

One of my them who has been there three months longer than me told me to put something away for her the other day as she was casually looking at it...and I said no, put it away yourself, u ain't my manager.

I can't stand any woman trying to boss me around....unless it's higher level management...even then I would cringe... But I'm in a position where I'm completely new to the procedures and quite frankly out of my element and don't know what the hell I'm doing so I'm constantly put in a position where one of the ****y ones can attempt to power trip me and it be seen as somewhat socially acceptable.

The nicer ones act normal and don't use commands....just a sincere helping hand....very few of those, though. You really see women's true conniving natures when forced to work in a tight spaces environment with a lot of them at once.

I have to master thus portion of the business within the next several months and if so, will advance to a much higher commission level managing and training a team outside reps getting a large portion if their commission.

However just several days of being stuck amongst them has me counting my calendar.

Not to mention the ridiculous back stabbing of eachother and bickering that I have to be around each day.

Looks like the type of women you are working with. My desk is surrounded by three women. So I hear their constant chatting almost on daily basis. Either talk about their last date, their ex, some clothing, some jewelry, etc etc, but no, they never boss me around.

Yeah and I noticed they try bossing each other around too. It's a very competitive work environment that prompts some of the behavior I think. However, men would be much easier to deal with in the same scenario.

Most women in the workplace anymore don't want to be there. They deep down wish they had a man who would support their filthy habits of shopping and Facebooking all day. So when they have to work, all they want to do is the minimal possible to get by. Like try to get you to put stuff away for them. Sooner or later the everyday flow of business will put them in a place where they can't hide their laziness and incompetence any longer. When that happens they will be looking for easy ways to cover their own azz at any cost which is usually by blaming someone else for the results of their own lack of skills and/or ambition. Do not be their scapegoat. Protect yourself. Talk to them as little as possible verbally. Email everything you can. If they talk to you verbally send them an email right after "Per our conversation". Be polite but firm when you do have to talk to them. Don't do anything or say anything to make them think you are the slightest bit weak. Because if they do then you will be a candidate for their target when the sh!t hits the fan. If I can think of any positives to say about working with women in an office I will write it below.

End of post.

Sadly I agree with Lefty especially about emails to cover your ass. Status seeking in a group brings out the worst in woman and as we know that can be pretty bad.

If you can bring yourself to do it get in a little bit early and suck up to whatever chicks are there. Food, vacations, their spawn and stupid TV shows are safe topics with mindless office drones. And always support the status quo. Management and the government are always right on and you're just looking for a nice girl to settle down with. Any anti herd sentiments will anger the drones.

And bring them food, provider game works well in the office. Keep a jar of chick friendly snacks on your desk. And go around and hand people chocolates you can say it's for your morning coffee or to help them with the mid afternoon slump etc.

Chicks compete with each other by trying to exclude their rivals from the group. If you are polite professional concentrate on your sales targets and stay slightly apart from the group they will lose their biggest point of leverage against you.

And I expect Lefty's next post to be his shortest ever ;-)

No way I'm sucking up like that. It's only a few months before I move up to a higher outside level gig.

My bad I thought you wanted options and tactics I guess it was just a vent Post

Well........as a cold sales person, I feel like their job is a comete joke compared to what I do. And they want to come with this attitude like they are hot **** in sales when all they do is sit on their fat asses on the phone all day.

As a real outside sales rep I just feel disgusted by their attitudes and false sense of accomplishment to be honest. You or anyone else in my shoes would too.

I just seriously could never bring myself to bringing them stuff. I'm nice acting and dumb myself down for them, but that's about it.
