Good.
You think that work place sexism doesn't make me miserable? You think I like being worked untill I'm about to pass out, when a woman with less seniority (keep in mind, my job is union) is stand their not lifting a god damn finger to help?
I've only worked with three women that I would actually consider worth working with, because they work hard and don't complain. Two of which I work with now, and have worked with for over 6 months. There hasn't been a time, in those 6 months where I've seen them let someone else do all the work or slow down.
I understand that the cycles are different for every woman to some degree. But they both agree with me, when I say that I am of the opinion that most women just seem to use it as an excuse.
We have what I like to call an Iron Vagina at my center. The women are quickly offered and stay in much easier jobs. (Letter scanning, clipboard, truck tracking. None of those require any real form of physical labor) Mostly because of the previous inside supervisor, who is herself, a lazy fat cow. (To prove a point, we now have a new female supervisor. Now, the other supervisor will tell you to work faster, to keep moving, work harder but will never even lift a finger to help. She won't even help with packages over 70 pounds, which BY LAW IN THE UNITED STATES she has to. Especially if asked. Nicole, the new supervisor actively helps EVERYONE. She busts her ****ing ***. It's amazing. I have mad respect for her and she's seriously only been working at my center for a week.)
There were two other girls hired directly after me. I have more seniority than both of them. When I first started, they worked me in the container untill I was about to pass out. Especially on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday on which we have our highest volumes, also on which there is an extra trailer of lose packages (numbering anywhere from 1500 to 2000) to load. By their second week each of them were moved somewhere easier, without even having to barely touch a package. Let alone load a container by themselves. One was moved to the clipboard/truck tracking. Basically a stand there job, the other works in smalls.. scanning letters.
I'm still loading containers and unloading trucks. The union is pissed, but I like loading and unloading so I stick with it. I'm in better shape than both of them anyways.
Up untill about a month ago, the women were always on the unload, and the men were always loading. Unloading is easy as hell. Loading sucks. They'd stack up the belt quickly and easily. And we'd every day get pissed off and stop the belt. We had to go to the union to make them switch.
Child birthing is also, as I recall, an entirely voluntary process for the most part. So don't complain about it after you've had one, because you didn't have to. You could have just as easily given another child a chance at a good life and adopted, no pain involved.
I wouldn't even be pissed off if it were only the ~7 days that the women I worked with were lazy and showed no ambition to better themselves. I'd be find with that.
But apparently it's an all the time thing.
And like I said, this may be personal experience and there are exceptions that I have noted... but for the most part women piss me off at the workplace.
