Smart, capable and ambitious -- in the eyes of superiors and colleagues, Keri, who is 30 years old, is a promising "tomorrow star". However, after entering a large consulting company, the mentality of the woman in the workplace can only be described by "five kinds of miscellaneous stories", and even in the confusion there are some fears that are not clear.

And the "culprit" that caused all this is Caroline, one of the few female partners in the company who was invited to join her.

At the beginning of her career, Keri was not naive to envisage that in the male dominated consulting industry, it was inevitable that there would be a friendship between two women in the workplace. Caroline would become a career mentor who would help him further.

However, in fact, on the contrary, she was gradually squeezed out of the core of the company's power. Caroline ignored her proposal, often interrupted her speech rudely, and even suggested to other executives that she might "change her job", though its performance was generally known.

"What did I do wrong? What should I do?" Keri's confusion is not an accident.

At Peggy Drexler, associate professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical School, many times, Keri did not do anything wrong, but unfortunately encountered a highly offensive "workplace queen bee". Peggy Drexler (

In line with the principle of "mutual repulsion", they will not only look at or help others who are loyal to their subordinates, but will even make every effort to stab them in the dark.

In 2007, the National Employment Law Alliance had conducted a large-scale investigation of the phenomenon of workplace bullying.

Among the 1000 volunteers interviewed, 45% had been intimidated or bullied. Among these "office overlord" who often insulted their subordinates or colleagues by verbal insults, misuse of power, abuse of power and wearing shoes, the queen bee accounted for 40% of them. During 2010~2011, further investigations showed that 80% of the queen bees used to wear shoes for female subordinates, which was 9% higher than that in 2007. On the contrary, "male overlord" is "equal to all subordinates".

Not only that, 95% of female respondents thought they had suffered.

Workplace

"Cold arrow" or "homosexual frying"; women who work under the female boss often have to bear more physiological and psychological pressure.

And this kind of pressure is like a bone palm, usually hurt and invisible, which makes no complaints.

Aileen, a gourmet writer, has a seemingly bright job. However, in the face of moody, unspoken female boss Jane, she can only drop her teeth to swallow. The last two seconds are still like gossip, and Aileen will be scolded for unwarranted "charges" next time. Worse still, she finds Jane is keen on making his own "peach news": a restaurant with a married man and a restaurant for friends.

Obviously, Jane has become a "stumbling block" in Aileen's career. Colleagues began to see Aileen differently. However, complaints or counterattacks do not seem to help solve the problem.

"What can I say? My boss is saying something bad about me behind my back?" Aileen asked helplessly. "Or do he still treat his man in his own way and slander his boss behind his back?"

In the workplace, "the same sex repel" is an irrefutable truth: to wear a pair of shoes for female subordinates is abominable, to the female boss to criticize and even disrespectful women.

Not too few.

A survey conducted by the University of Syracuse showed that female subordinates had a lot of criticisms about their female leaders who were not understanding enough; they were particularly disgusted with their "rude and publicizing" female executives, and they questioned the decision of the other side or even violently.

Female managers are often considered to be right.

Male

As a supplement to the radical style, however, as a link in the food chain, the queen bee's attitude towards potential competitors is as merciless as the autumn wind sweeping away leaves.

It is undeniable that the power women are always the minority in the workplace. In the top 500 enterprises in the world, only 2% of the women are CEO, and the proportion of the female members of the board is only 16%.

Men take fear as the way to advance, why can not women? Women who live in trouble for women, who is the original sin?

Workplace Social Networking: How Familiar Are You?

It is often complained that some "friends" took part in the trip with this friend. He only carried a small bag and everything else was in my box. I was not his mother. The friend asked me for samples every time, and I didn't owe him anything. And so on, and so on, are caused by the unequal identification of each other.
