In a flock of ladies, or Survival in a female society

The women's team is, according to some experts,"

As one acquaintance (the headmaster) says: "A herd of rams is worse than a flock of adorable cats." If you are lucky enough to get a referral to a partnership of the weaker sex, it would be unwise not to arm yourself with a piece of useful information in your place. It is the duty of every scientist (or taught by experience) to share knowledge for the good of mankind, which I am going to do today, not without hidden pleasure. I would not want to deprive anyone of attention, so tips on survival for women and men separately.

Before giving any recommendations, I want to make a reservation. The Russian mentality is too patriarchal, therefore I ask you not to protest about some "savagery" that do not fit into the framework of the civilized world community. The process of collectivization in our open spaces has never been distinguished by exclusively business content. Mixing of service and personal interests, covered with a layer of newfangled "team play", as a result, they present a vinaigrette of old ways and new trends, the proportionality of which is determined exclusively by the team individually.

A woman in a ladies' team. Or: restrain impatience, bite your tongue, calm your curiosity

1. Smiling is an inexpensive way to look your best. You should be as friendly as possible with your colleagues. In short, smile more often. This will create a positive image for you.

2. And we indulge in buns. Be sure to take part in the get-togethers. Those who separate from the collective are not liked. It would be good to occasionally sweeten tea and coffee from your own pocket, and if you, as a good housewife, spend a lot of time in the kitchen, do not be lazy sometimes to treat your colleagues in the shop with your signature confectionery masterpieces.

3. The one who throws mud loses the ground under his feet. Do not spread gossip, rumors about employees, even if it is "pure and not covered up truth." It is better to judge the personal, moral and external qualities of colleagues to yourself.

4. Diplomacy is a matter of survival in the future, politics is a matter of survival until next Friday. Your policy of survival in a female society should be based on diplomatic techniques (think three times - then speak; always remember that you need to forget).

5. Women, all as one, hate each other, and all as one, protect each other. If you find yourself in a team with an obvious confrontation between two coalitions, you need to define as much as possible the camp that will become yours. To be on the sidelines will not work. But you should not immediately accept a certain point, as well as try to serve everyone (and no one as a result). It is better to understand everything in the production process.

6. "Yes" = "yes" or "yes" = "no" ?! Do not refuse to help your "fighting friends", but also do not let them sit on your neck. Newcomers love to "teach" everything and everyone, putting their work on fragile, fragile shoulders. Do not sharply declare: "This is not my responsibility!" We must learn to delicately refuse and ethically put dishonest ladies in their place.

7. "I never said that I am better than others, just others are worse." No matter what color your diploma is, no matter how many foreign internships your resume is full of, no matter how favorably you differ in the gray mass of new colleagues, you do not need to be reminded at every step of your imaginary or well-deserved privileges. 8. Girls who know spelling really well don't wear skirts that are too short. Your appearance determines the attitude of colleagues of any gender towards you. Do not neglect the generally accepted "office" standards of clothing, makeup, shoes, hairstyles. The workplace is not a catwalk (unless you make a living in the modeling business), leave the delights of taste for more suitable situations.

Some girls - only me. Or seven nannies and paradise in a hut

There is no need to explain that the most difficult thing (in my opinion) in the female "bazaar union terrarium" will feel a person of the opposite sex. In addition to the available (visual) advantages, such a situation is full of underwater disadvantages, which it is better to know about in advance.

1. A wonderful man is one who notices everything. Compliments doubles women's productivity. It is better to squander them all, without exception, on a first-come, first-served basis. Try not to be considered vulgar (no one asks you to praise the "appetizing" forms, as well as the "dentate" length of the legs). Clothes, a new hairstyle, if you look closely (without glaring at the object of study with your eyes): there is enough room for compliments for sincere, unobtrusive praise.

2. How many flax, how many Zin !!! Work work, but what to do with libido? If you are not married - get married urgently, as a last resort, immediately make a permanent girlfriend. Because a young handsome bachelor in a female team is too strong an irritant. It would be nice to put family photos (photos of children) on your desktop (it is sobering).

3. What you found in her is much more in me. It is not necessary now to start talking about the many problems in office romances. The only thing that needs to be noticed here is a lot of unnecessary gossip, rumors, quarrels and confrontations in case of your thoughtless choice of one favorite from the general splendor and motley assortment.

4. Your 45 shoe size should coincide with the course of a woman's thoughts. Whether you are married at least twice, convicted three times, or (even worse) four times enrolled in Lenin, you should not consider yourself smarter than a woman (all the more, we are talking about the whole team). Professional qualities, efficiency, rare courage and female intuition should be appreciated not only internally, but also demonstrating their admiration (again, tactfully, without the Moscow Art Theater pathos).

5. Are you going to a woman? Don't forget the whip! (Nietzsche). You know, male chauvinism is not the best strategy in life in general and at work in particular, but especially in life in a female team. You should be on the alert about statements and speculations that are opposite to the nature of feminine greatness (if this is part of your philosophy, keep it to yourself).

6. Do not embarrass the ladies with your naivety. However, do not allow (as tempting as it may be) women to relax before pulling up stockings, bra straps, etc. in your presence. This will turn you into a "girlfriend", but you are still going to work there, and not put your shoulders under the stream of tears not spilled out to your husband (lover).

7. To a strange monastery not with its own charter. I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with the phenomenon of female logic first in books on female psychology. Freud did not find an answer to the question of "what a woman wants"? Maybe you will not succeed, but you will learn a lot of interesting and informative things, besides, you will prepare the nervous system in advance.

8. A man should be able to cry, but not whimper. A man should be able to kneel before a woman, but he should not grovel. A man should be able to compose beautiful fairy tales, not gossip. I am not writing this for a catchphrase. You are a man! And you must remember this, especially when more than one pair of women's eyes is aimed at you every weekday for eight hours in a row.

And the last thing. Despite the seeming difficulties and traps set at every step, it would be wrong to judge only the disadvantages of working among women. Whether you are a female novice or a male novice, there are always many positive aspects to a team of ladies. For a woman, this is, first of all, cooperation in a circle of similar ones (with the same problems and cockroaches). For a man, this is, first of all, a privileged position, which, if used skillfully, can do a good job. God help you.
