Comments to back up your choices, please.

The choice I would have made isn't there.

In spite of the recent issues that happened at my workplace....well my EX workplace, I don't have a preference.  I've have good of both and not so good of both.

I've often worked with men, and that suits me fine.  I'm used to being one of the guys.
 
 The office atmosphere is more social with women, but beware the gossiping and backstabbing.
   

I have found that the women in my workplace are extremely catty.  I don't like it.  They are two faced.  They don't seem to realize...that they are just making things more difficult for everyone.  
Guys...are just alot more layed back..easy to talk to...and don't stab you in the back any chance they get.  

I prefer working with men because women are wayyy more catty, gossipy and back stabbers than men, imo.  In my office here, we only have 4 males and 11 females.  I'd like to have more males...more of a balanced environment.  

  I just experienced something SO pathetic from one of my female coworkers "ratting" out on another coworker on such a petty, minor thing.  If we had more male supervisors/managers, our work environment would be better.  There would be none of this "high school" stuff going on around here.  

all my bosses and supervisors are male.  My workplace is like a chicken coop...with all the chickens sidling up to the rooster...(had a different word in mind teehee!)

How's your workplace atmosphere, Gophie?  

Not at all bad - I work on my own!

   However in the distant years when I did worked with others, I found that working with men ensured that the job got done, whereas working with women I had a whale of a time but hardly anything ever got done. - simply because of the constant levity. The men always seemed to be more straightforward and 'businesslike'; the women - very often (but by no means always) - seemed to have some sort of personal agenda which could often erupt into silent warfare against one or other of the  women workers.  

Men. Definitely. They're not as picky with your work except they're lazy as anything. I'm speaking male dentists in general.

  Women as company is generally much better. I can talk to my female boss just about anything because we're so used to the routines that we can pratically do it with our eyes closed.

guys I guess, never really worked with women before.  

I agree with PC.  I don't care about the gender as long as the job gets done well.

No preferance here. We have intelligent people and asshats for staff of both genders.

 Catfight!
   

damn near had a catfight today with another worker.  Got sick of her highandmighty attitude.  Controlling ways..thank god she isn't working tomorrow...give me a couple of days to cool off.

I work in a pretty much all male industry and work environment. The few females I have worked with used their femininity to teh utmost to get out of work and cause problems saying they were be treated more harsher cause they were female, when in fact they were being treated with kid gloves.

  That being said, I couldnt care less lol. When I worked elsewhere with women, as long as there wasnt any drama (this includes males here!) I had no problems with anyone there.

Men tend to just focus on business...women often like to focus on gossip, and I have little to no interest in those kinds of games at work.  

at this point...I would like to take kid gloves...and smack some ladies across the face.  They are so catty these days...that it is a waste of company time...and doesn't get the job done...and creates crappy moral.  

I've usually worked with guys, and they (not to generalize) don't always remember the human side of business.  ie gifts and cards for clients at Xmas, peoples' birthdays, retirement gifts, wedding gifts, etc.
 
 I've spent a lot of my time organizing the boys in such matters.
   

I have to agree with lil me on the last point. Im more worried with getting stuff done. To heck with the frills!

  :)

I've emptied moulding coffee cups off of peoples' desks, cuz it's gross!
 
 On the other hand- being a female in guy industries, I often had people crying on my shoulder.  Got dumped again, what do I get my mother for Xmas, does this shirt match these pants cuz I've got a date, etc.
   

I think a good manager (male or female) is able to keep these issues in some kind of balance.  I don't find men to be exempt from gossip.

Now that i think of it, it seems i am always in almost all-female companies! And when i am working with men, they just keep to themselves and work...when you work with all women...it gets catty.
