Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...

Ann Francke should go back to hiding in wardrobes.

By:
^^It is completely different obv.
The OP is completely absurd and Ann Francke of the Chartered Management Institute should either admit she fell into the trap of making a comment before thinking or start looking for another job. grrr dusty I had a nice pun about her diary but you beat me to it. |

By:
can understand womens viewpoint here ,men shouldn't be working in offices ...it's a feminine environment ...men should be doing manly/masculine jobs if they want to discuss sport etc
|
|
By:
fine as long as talking about soaps, love island, im a celebrity, strictly , sandwich making etc is banned too
|
|
By:
I took a job for 2 weeks in an office out of desperation for a pay cheque ,couldn't hack any more and got a new job pronto ...it was either women and sheepish feminine men ...they were talking about soap operas and hair styles most of the time .... i'd rather'd spent the fortnight in prison looking back
 |

What did you expect when you took a job in a hairdressers?
|
|
By:
morpteh ,that is general office talk
|
|
By:
exactly, ban it
 , mind when i used to work i would instigate conversations about soaps, var didnt exist when i were a lad. |
|
By:
if you go on a buiding site working with boomers conversation will probably be about immigrants and 'pufters'
done that too |
|
By:
you can't beat working on your own mate ...get up when you like , drink beer when you like ,watch what you like ,listen to what you like and you get to 'commute' to work in your carpet slippers .
|
|
By:
You can't beat being retired ...get up when you like, drink beer when you like, watch what you like, listen to what you like ...etc (don't own carpet slippers
 ) |
|
By:
exactly aspro.
 |
|
By:
morpeth ...i say don't ban in because that is the natural environment (as long as it's not offensive)
men who work in offices around women are doing the wrong job if they expect to talk about VAR etc lol ..it is a FEMININE environment get a blokey job in other words ...simples |

It *
|
|
By:
I've worked in an office my entire working life Coach and it was always predominantly male... but I get your point
|
|
By:
Ann Francke said sports chat can leave women feeling left out...............
SO GET THEM OFF MY FCUKING TELLY EVERYDAY RUINING MY ENJOYMENT OF SPORT......... |
|
By:
Aspro ...i guess it depends on your line of work ... if it's electrical enginerring based etc or buidings regs etc ...but anywhere mixed is asking for trouble imo
|
|
By:
engineering *
some offices can be 100 % male ... i call that more a 'workspace' |
|
By:
To be fair Coach it's all a load of bollox; most of the women that I have worked with love the banter and join in
|
|
By:
men shouldn't be working with women imo ...it's just not right or proper
same as with women who watch the match down the pub with all the blokes  |
|
By:
You haven't lived until you see women, daily, in their office attire
 |
|
By:
there are barriers that shouldn't be crossed imo
 |
|
By:
NO aspro ... power dressers
|
|
By:
Even Better!!!
|
|
By:
call me old fashioned but i like women to be women ...pretty ,feminine and quiet
can't be doing with bossy ,mouthy or excitable girls |
|
By:
terry has found the wrong thread
|
|
By:
I get the pretty and feminine bit, but quiet? Nah mate, you're dreaming.
|
|
By:
yes aspro ,i agree i am a dreamer in a world of chaos
|
|
By:
womens high pitched voices drive me insane ,bad enough hearing the neighbor from time to time
|
|
By:
totally agree

I agree with Ann Francke to a point. Most football chat is inane and excrutiatingly boring, and often becomes boorish - just has to be avoided rather than banned.
(Of course, any lads who have any brains and sufficient desire to get his leg over 'Clare from work' should have figured this out already and upped his game / conversation topics by now. However I see at first hand this is not the case.....  ... poor w@nkers have no chance).Reminds me of a nerdy guy (Angus) I worked with who was with some of us on a night out - I swaggered over to a a couple of dollies and was getting on quite well until the said Angus joined me and regaled the same dollies about our work,and the ins and outs of web service deployment we were undertaking at a bank - left without finishing their drinks . Not quite as boring as football - but not far away |

By:
But football chat has become more interesting, Wallflower, with the VAR debate.
Arguments now about marginal offsides, accidental handball, fouls, etc etc has now enlivened my Saturday evening Match of the Day! Though it has spoilt the game overall. There needs to be new rules brought in. When I was young no young man chatting me up mentioned football, I wished he had. |

By:
Aren't women suppose to love football now? that's what we're told anyway
Its like these people just move the goalposts whenever they need to implement any kind of c*** Switch the lights off and close the door ffs, the worlds done |
