Hi,
I was just doing some online research and came across this website. I am a male in my late 20s and recently started a job with a new company. My previous jobs have mostly involved working with men, and it has always been a comfortable relaxed “boys club” type environment. We’d all look out for each other and do our best not have confrontations etc. We’d all just get along and get on with the job.
However, in my new job, it was predominately female when I started, and now due to internal movements I am one of the very few men left! To say the least, it’s the most uptight, ‘b itchy’, stressful work group I have ever been involved with. It seems every few minutes somebody is preparing for the next confrontation or backstabbing.
I am willing to try anything to help create a more relaxed and happy work environment, at the least when people step into my office, I’d like them to relax and feel at ease around me, and I would like to feel my own anxiety and tension reduce as well.
If anyone here can suggest anything to help I would greatly appreciate it. Feel free to post any other similar threads dealing with these sorts of issues from the past.
Thank you kindly for offering the $25 voucher, I will certainly use it!
