[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in general, these things sound like what a “typical” man will do.

Or not do actually.

Men just not are wired as us women are to go the full mile w/things - especially as they pertain to the house + children.

Of course, w/every generalization there is always an exception to the rule & I fully acknowledge this.

However for the most part, men just do not think of everything that a Female does.

I mostly work with women so I'm trying to think if the men at the office are like this in their work life, not going the full mile. Certainly the one gay man I know is not, he's an amazingly diligent colleague.

What do other people say about their male colleagues? [/quote]

My male colleagues- and I’ll invoke the same gay colleague exception as PP above- are great at coming up with an idea or assigning tasks, but not great at seeing big stuff through to completion. They are not great with seeing the idea/project to completion once it hits the stage past delegation and needs monitoring, reworking, or any sort of intervention to get it to the finish line. For example, a project milestone is in danger because a timeline slips? Male colleagues will notice the slip but won’t grasp the factors that are influencing the slip and get frustrated by the extra work and handholding that might be needed to get the project back on track. And this is when people of both genders have equal authority and seniority on a project, so don’t come at me with the “males are managers so they’re not supposed to bother with the details” stuff.

These same male colleagues who were quick to abdicate responsibility when things get messy are also quick to rejoin the team effort once the projects are ready to launch and/or considered successful! [/quote]
