I wish I could say to my boss to hire another female. I know what matters are skills and qualifications but I’m so wanting to have a female coworker and don’t care how old she is. I love my team (all men) they are very professional and great to work with but there is way too much testosterone in the office lol

Lol imagine how problematic it would be if this statement was flipped.. a man saying too much estrogen in the office?
Glad you know not to ask your boss to hire you a new BFF instead of a good worker. 🤪

Start soft-recruiting other women. Be sure to say it's unofficial, but you can do your own search and refer whomever you want. You don't have to know referrals personally.

Does anyone else have “email social anxiety”? Not with writing emails that have to do with content/work I did, but when I’m “just checking in” and doing vaguely unsaid social things I’ve never understood well.
I feel super awkward and read too into things, it takes me 30+ min for a simple friendly email to a manager or above and I get worked up about it.

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak. He scolds me over every little thing, how I load the dishwasher, maybe I didn’t push my chair in. Last week he told me I needed to work on my appearance. I was shocked. I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?

I work part time for a startup for equity and am attending an event on behalf of the startup. I’ve only been here a few months and asked multiple times to have a prep meeting with my boss. He instead sent me a 15 page document outlining 40 questions I should be able to answer the day before the event.
I’m so incredibly stressed as I don’t want to show up unprepared and make myself look bad. Idk how to make light of this situation at this point
