25.06.2024 05:10

Which task is more difficult for a representative of the fairer sex: working in a female or, conversely, in a male team?

It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally. There is an opinion that it is easier for a woman to work with men.

There are 7 simple rules that you need to follow to ensure that everything goes well at work.

Don't come to work with your personal problems.

Leave them within the walls of the house, and that's it. Do you have an annoying admirer? A parasite husband?

Evil mother-in-law? Don't complain about anyone to your co-workers. You'll wash the bones of all enemies and pests together with your girlfriends.

Male colleagues should forget that you are a lady. Don't expect sympathy and understanding from them.

Remember, men are rougher and less emotional creatures. They are not girls who crave heart-wrenching details and long stories. They will not offer you to cry on their shoulder, they will not be moved, they will not console.

That's the male character, nothing can be done about it. They prefer to act rather than talk. That's why in a male team you have to work hard, not just chat and slack off.

Work equally with other employees

Don't expect frequent indulgences.

Do you remember your regular duties? Do you perform your direct functions? Or do you think that it is forgivable for girls to shirk work.

Yes, representatives of the stronger sex may make concessions to you as an exception. But don't count on permanent indulgences.

Do not argue or make a scene under any circumstances, otherwise you will be considered a lazy and overly impudent person.

You agreed to work here, so you are obliged to "play by the rules" and behave decently. Forget about gender differences, at least during working hours.

Dress modestly and formally

Do you work in an office? Do you have a dress code? Always follow it. Don't try to add a bright item to a strict image.

As for your work place, it should also be modest. It is strictly forbidden to make a mess and dirt!

Representatives of the stronger sex have a positive attitude towards minimalism and order. It’s okay if the environment around your desk is boring.

The main thing is to clean everything up and put it in its place. Your colleagues will appreciate such neatness.

What men really can't stand are wilted flowers, scattered cosmetics and bright stickers on the computer.

Learn to speak correctly, seriously and to the point

Your goal is to transform your speech.

Business men do not respect colleagues who laugh. Do you want your colleagues to respect you? Do not laugh or switch to other topics. Discuss current issues related to work.

Surely you have an idea of what style of communication has formed in your team. Communicate with men as clearly as possible, and you will win their favor.

Pay due attention to your appearance

Of course, the male team pays attention to girls who are dressed too revealingly. You definitely shouldn't wear short skirts and blouses with a deep neckline.

Otherwise, your colleagues will start to get distracted from their work and stare at you. Your superiors will definitely not praise you for such liberties.

If your boss is male, he may succumb to your charms. If not, you may be in big trouble.

Men's clothing can perfectly complement your image. The main thing is to have the desire to transform. We are talking about belts, trousers, ties. Believe me, you can look like a queen even in formal clothes. You need to have taste and a sense of style.

Use work equipment only when necessary.

Men don't like it when their female colleagues hang on the office phone, play for hours on the work computer and log into various social networks from it. God forbid the system administrator sees your antics.

The very next day you won't be able to access your favorite sites as usual. Get busy right away so you don't get scolded later and make things worse.

Are you unable to overcome your internet addiction? Go to women's forums and video hosting sites discreetly, clear your cache regularly. Be as careful as possible, and you will be able to continue having fun. Remember: your time is strictly limited!

Don't spread nasty gossip

It is unlikely that any man will want to join you in throwing mud at colleagues or the boss. Do not say anything bad about those you work with, otherwise you will make enemies.

Do not doubt: your words will reach the one you are trying to denigrate. At best, you will be rudely interrupted and reprimanded.

One extra word can ruin your reputation and put your job in question. Never forget this!

Earlier we talked about phrases that happy people use.
