workplace event reporting
My place of work (a hospital) has an electronic mechanism for reporting "events" that have been seen as a problem. I believe my place of work to also be 85-90% female.
-Who has raised these people to be this petty? -Is there any hope for improvement? Last edited by pavulon; 04-06-2014 at 08:46 AM.. Reason: grammar |

What kind of "events" are you talking about?

My wife was an elementary school teacher for a number of years. The pettiness was unbelievable--from both the teachers and administrators.
My wife and I now work at the same place, and she recently found herself in an all female unit with a female boss. Same crap all over again. Her boss would talk bad about EVERYONE behind their backs to other subordinates, and her favorites became the people that would gossip back. She up and decided one day that everyone who reports to her needed to switch jobs (mad-hatter style)--never mind that most of the people have decades of experience and specialized training and licensing for their roles. Everyone was getting bad performance reviews because they were being measured against the person they replaced (with the above-mentioned decades of experience) and they had only been in their roles for six weeks. Fortunately, my wife was plucked from this hell by a different manager and given her old job back. It just amazes me how unprofessional some women can be, and it seems to get worse the fewer males are around.

We are living in the age of compliance. Workplace rules governing speech, behavior and protocol. It's been my experience that women in my industry are very comfortable operating within complex sets of rules and regs and are enthusiastic enforcers of compliance.
In our hospital the medical staff operates under extremely complex regulatory policies. I have never seem a female physician be reprimanded for failing to file reports in a timely fashion or any other compliance issues. Women seem to be very good at coloring inside the lines and punishing those who don't. Just my impression.

After many years as a supervisor and later an administrator, I had this policy for those that wandered in my office with a petty betoch/whine:
"Let's set a meeting time for tomorrow and I want you to bring this to me in writing". The meeting rarely happened, turned out it wasn't that big of a deal after all.

It's become good sport to throw the "I'm offended" card. Mediocre is the new "excellent. No direct questions or criticism is allowed. Greatness has become an empty declaration...rarely more. Humility is dead.
