On my first all-female team. Anyone had issues with miscommunications/drama when working with only other female PM's/teammates?

Yes. I am also on an all-female team and I, unfortunately, notice that everyday is different with emotions and professionalism. The only advice that I can give is that you can only control you. Just because someone’s brings the drama to you, doesn’t mean you should get involved. Just because someone is having a bad day and is giving attitude, don’t retaliate. Good luck 😊

Yes. I'm on an all-female team and there is some drama when we disagree on something. Also a lot of fighting for favoritism with leadership. It's also very hard to be the 'nice girl' because some of the women are straight shooters and very assertive. Being nice may make you come off weak and docile when being compared to super assertive women

Yeah I actually have seen this. It happens with toxic leadership and this happens down the pipeline. Women can also be more emotional, and are more likely to have grudges/carry things forward which has caused the issues I see with all female teams. This isn't the case for them all though and I have been on some amazing all female teams too.

Going through this now. I think it's more to do with being an inexperienced manager than a female though - this is my first time having a female manager though and it's my worst experience so far

Super sad to hear this. The all women teams I’ve been on have been the absolute best and definitely some of the most competent PMs Ive seen. Have you had a chance to build a relationship outside of work? Generally I’ve found that’s just a valuable thing to do.

lol

Been on a project for 2 weeks and thinking it’s not for me. The manager is kind of rude when I ask for help/direction, but he always says to ask if things are uncertain. He always has this condescending attitude and just keeps telling me that he expects more of someone at my level, C. I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?

I have a new client who, I think, got bad legal advice from someone else she consulted with. From the information I have, there is no way she gets to the numbers I do. I work in a pretty small legal community. How do I address this delicately? My client is hung up on “but that’s not that X said” even though I’ve explained it multiple times and way. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I live in a more conservative city. Does anyone feel like how you perform at work is a reflection of the gay community to your peers? For example, if you’re a bad performer, it’s going to be reflective of the gay community as a whole and could make it harder for the next gay person? Is it weird to think that?

Since you all are wise, I have a question, not really a confession though…but I will add a confession at the end..

If you submit to a specific role at a large company and they reject you for the role you applied, would you still be on file if there are other roles that are a match? Or, do you have to apply to each role? I am thinking it is the latter.

Confession question…how often do you stalk exes or people you used to work with? Like someone will come to mind and I will immediately (cont)

I hate working on commission. I am a naturally shy person and approaching guests in our store is intimidating enough, it's even worse when some of my more socially savvy coworkers notice me trying to strike up a conversation with someone and they come in and literally steal my client from me.
