[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read this a few years ago and it makes a lot of sense to me-

[b]There are fewer jobs for women to compete over than men. Women also have to be twice as skilled than their male counterparts in the same field. So women who have had to struggle and fight their way to the top of the pile often refuse to allow for an "easier" opening and space for other women to follow them because they feel it diminishes their accomplishments/journey. [/b]

I've also had women I am not in direct competition with be psychotic with their hatred towards other women in the office. Telling people not to speak to them, refusing to order office supplies, relentless made-up gossip, tampering with their desks, reading  personnel files....Here's looking at you Jamie. [/quote]

This makes alot of sense to me.

I am 45 and have not had many women superiors (to the point of this thread, there just aren't that many senior women in our business, athough it's improving).  I've found this behavior to be worse among women a generation ahead of me than what I've observed in my peers.  They just had to fight harder.[/quote]
