Stumble itAccording to a recent article published in Newsvine, 37 percent of the U.S. workforce reported being bullied at work. Among those who mistreat their co-workers, women were more likely to target other women (71 percent), compared men who bully other men (54 percent.) Madeleine Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State, said, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women” at a conference last year. However, she didn’t point out that it is a society problem because men also are a part of the equation. The argument should not be woman to woman; it should be society as a whole to women in business.

What do they call a "pissing contest" for women? It's all about control and power, and who uses it and how it's used. The problem is, is that certain people in authority do not know how to control themselves. In a workplace, if you are in authority over another person, you NEVER make business PERSONAL, not ever. Think whatever you want about the person, but play nice…Women who go in being in "contest" with other women over appearance, income, or whatever, and men the same thing…are doomed for failure, you just are..As a business student, I learned that in business or any employment, you have to be a team player…if you aren't leading, you are following, or being directed, but you do it in a respectful manner…
First, I am not sure why this video is up, because it's from way back in 2008. Second, the argument has to regarding woman-to-woman. If we cannot respect each other, then how do we expect men to respect us. Not to mention, from Girls in Tech to Women 2.0, I understand it is important to talk about and celebrate women's achievements in business and to educate, empower, and inspire. However, in some cases it seems to be self-fulfilling rather than self-less. We still have a ways to go!
