Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Some people prefer really formal places, with clear corporate policies and procedures. Other people like more laid back, make it up as you go along. Some like pressurised, some don't. What culture do you like?

I'm fortunate enough to work in an office that's old-school and trusts us enough to get my work done unmonitored. I work in media, so it's a deadline-driven environment, and we're all given flex time and open PTO provided we meet all our deadlines. My boss is very hands-off, but happy to jump in and help when asked, and I like that a lot.

I work hard and appreciate their goodwill, while not trying to take advantage. I work from home and sometimes I'll run errands or go outside for a short walk as I mentally outline an article. I've never missed a deadline, and I don't plan to.

A pet-peeve of mine is when an office starts forcing people to use specific technology, like a smartphone or a non-SMS authentication app. I also prefer when office communication is open and tactful, but also deliberate without a lot of pointless meetings. I'm not really a fan of office gossip and try to change the subject if a coworker starts ranting about someone else in the office.

I hear a lot of office workers are spied on through their work computers and have to use productivity software these days. It sounds really awful and counter-productive. I'm at my most productive when there isn't someone watching over my shoulder all day.
