Now partner in a T2.
Some freshers came back from the induction weirded out by her behaviour, as she was not very subtle about it.
Unbothered, she had a series of flings in office across teams; she had married male partners texting her at night.
At one point she hated what were termed as "uncle" clients; she then learnt the game, and now she knows how to feed them.
She knew what she was doing all along. I personally hated watching it, but I definitely had my eyes open to how it was normalised.
Some play the game. You don't want to. You have my respect. I get the weirdness, but you're also not "all" women. Don't be a misandrist.
I know the firm you are talking about. They take a lot of pride in their cool culture but its toxic af for people who won't participate in such nonsensical shit
Be what you are.Do best in your job.Learn.Repeat.Revise.Then keep switching.Do not make your job your life.People will stare, they may even approach.If you're uncomfortable with those overtures, just tell them plainly.
And as far as husband aspect is concerned, gurl, he'll definitely.he's a man, & that's in his genes.if yku are 'really' concerned, marry a house-husband, & take care of your family's expenses.
One infamously played Kill, Marry, Hook up with the entire team and asked worse questions.
Heck, there are threads in Legally India right now asking people to list handsome men.
Posts like this would have you believe this is a woman-only problem – it isn't.
Many men would also be quite wary of women in corporate settings.
Predators and cheaters do not come in just one gender.
Men are really creepy toward young girls. Ignore it and. Find strategies to put them off. As long as it’s just looking.
Once you grow a little older they’ll stop. It’ll be a relief.
No . Choose your husband well and he won’t be flirting with some younger girl every chance he gets. Take time to know him before you choose.
It’s okay you’ll be alright. This happens to all women.
I knew a girl who “uglified” herself like you and wore a ring on her finger. She said no one bothered her after that.
That said, please leave such a dejected workplace because if partners are are like this i am pretty sure the posh committee members would be in there pockets too.
Stay safe and take care
Your firm will most likely have a POSH committee and redressal mechanism. Please approach a committee member that you are comfortable with. Most firms take such matters seriously, and at the least, the relevant people will be spoken to.
On your second question, it would not be fair to generalise.
It also makes me wonder how it’ll be when I’m older and married. Will my husband be flirting with someone 15-20 years younger. I’m dejected, disgusted and am at the verge of quitting every single day. Any advice would help, please be kind 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
