[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have told two male employees to stop being so aggressive and to be nicer. I actually think that men are told to tone it down more often than women. At least where I work. [/quote] Have you ever done that when they weren't aggressive in the first place. I think that's the issue here. If a female executive asking a staffer to complete a job quickly is the equivalent of being "aggressive" then I'm at a loss.[/quote] Sometimes people aren't aware of how they come across. They struggle with the boundary between assertive and aggressive. I don't know why the junior staffer felt Op was aggressive. We would have to hear her/his side of the story about what was said, the tone it was said in, and the non verbal message conveyed.[/quote]
