Jason Screeb: the man, the myth, the manic... » Workplace http://www.jasonscreeb.com I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder three years ago, and also suffer from panic attacks. My mind is confusing, interesting, and always unquiet. My perception isn't what one might consider normal, and I've been told my views can be distorted. Picture Seinfeld with a chemical imbalance. This is my release, in a therapeutic way. Being totally anonymous, but completely open... you will find my viewpoints on what I encounter around me.

I watched as a co-worker was torn apart from her conversation with her boyfriend, the tears were flowing. Next, all the women gathered around and were comforting her. I have broken off relationships and been dumped, but never let it effect my work. Never in my life have I ever shown the office that something was wrong, I simply do my work. I even found out my Mother had passed away at 10:00 am, and finished out the day without a sign of anything being wrong. So why do women put on a big show?


A likely theory is attention. Sometimes it is obviously dramatic and women are always sharing every detail of their lives. Everything from weekend plans, to what the name of their sister’s child is. Men don’t typically go into all the detail, simply for the fact that they don’t care. I consider myself overly private, and co-workers have to literally pull information out of me. When in the workplace, I feel one must conduct themselves in a professional manner. Is it unprofessional for a woman to put on this show of emotions?

It can be unprofessional depending on the situation. Picture your trying to work, and 5 Women are bashing the now ex-boyfriend next to you. This is very distracting, unprofessional, and taking it too far. Take a step back and think about what really goes on, because attention isn’t necessarily the culprit. I believe it goes as far as our genetics. Women are the nurturers, and it is the motherly instinct taking over. This is what creates this swarming effect, which men observe in offices across America. I will leave you with a final thought relating to current events. How many women will be gathered around Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office when a school shooting happens?
