How (gender) mixed is your workplace?

I’m a female engineer, and the vast majority of people I work with are men. This includes not just the other engineers in my department, but engineers in other departments, the production guys who make our product, and the vendors I buy things from. It’d be nice if there were more women, but as far as I can remember the guys have always been respectful and not treated me any different.

I work for the US Patent Office. My individual unit is somewhere near 75% male, but I think the office overall is closer to 50/50.

We work with doctors but don’t employ them. Just a WAG but I’d say it’s about 70% male for the doctors.

Only women here are admin assistants and receptionist. If u don’t have a pee pee don’t bother applying. I work in business office of general contractor.

The building I work in has about 30 male engineers and one female receptionist.

I’m a government statistician. We’re totally integrated with respect to gender. Lots of women work as statisticians in my office, and in my agency as a whole. Lots of women all the way up the ladder. Our IT branches tend to have more men than women, but even there it’s more like 2:1 male, rather than being overwhelmingly male. It’s a good place to be a geek. :slight_smile:

Whoops, forgot to vote. Now I did…

At my previous workplace, it was close to 95% female, though slowly they were starting to hire in some men (not on purpose - it just happened that way). I always referred to the place as the Cat House. There were tons of petty squabbles and backstabbing. If someone sent out an e-mail department-wide, at least one person was sure to have a problem with it. It was obnoxious and I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with it right now.

There were good things about it, though - the guys were usually the ones who were more involved in politics and who worked the least and complained about their workload the most. The women pulled their weight but were backstabbing bitches. I guess you gotta strive for balance. :slight_smile:

Sales office with support staff. About 70% female.

Yeah for this poll that’s going to be “somewhere around equal”.
There are already too many options and I really just wanted to get an idea of how masculine / feminine Doper’s workplaces were. So the distinction between 50:50 and 2:1 isn’t that important here…we aren’t pairing everyone up :slight_smile:

2 of the 12 staff at my branch are male. My math says that’s ~17% male.

I’m a woman and work in a grocery store, and it’s about 50/50, although my specific department is small and majority female (we have 6-7 employees usually, for a long time only one man - recently hired another).

I work at a private academy in Seoul. Our admin is 100% female, but our faculty is 70% male.

I voted before I read the OP’s post. Sorry about that.

My co-workers are almost exclsively female but if you add the clienst we work with, it changes to 60 % female, 40% male.

Cobbler shop employee here. We are actually an entirely female company right now. When I first started it was about 50/50. One guy was fired for stealing, one went off to trucking school like he’d planned for years, one just stopped showing up for work… the male employees have all left, and for some reason most of the applications for our help wanted signs have been women this year.

My prior job was in construction. Almost always, other than myself, the crews were all male.

I seem to go from one extreme to another. Fortunately, I can be comfortable in almost any gender mix.

I’m in IT in the Health Care industry. It’s roughly an even split between (mostly older, mostly white) men and (mix of ages, probably trending slightly to POC) women, which I think is pretty industry typical.

After you get above the Team Lead level (two women to one man in my tiny department), pretty much my whole chain of command are male.

We have one woman (the boss’s wife) who comes in twice a week to do bookkeeping. The one and only time I’ve ever even heard of a female machinist was in a magazine article specifically about them.

My workplace is about 50-50. Actually 53% women (about 2500 corporate employees).

My wife works for a large health insurance company, in the IT department. The company as a whole is 70% female. In the IT department, all but one of the nearly 100 programmer-analyst, developer, tester and software engineer positions are occupied by males. The entire “business” side of IT is female, no exceptions.

There are entire floors of the building where not a single male worker can be found. IT, Actuary and Sales are where ALL the guys are with the exception of a couple of maintenance guys, security guards, etc.

That’s cool.
There’s a big difference between having colleagues of both genders, and working with just one gender but having male and female clients.
But I was already at 13 poll options and I had to simplify things.

So giving women an opportuinty to break into management where it’s so far been almost exclusively male is a punishment to men? :dubious:

Overall where I work the gender split is 50/50 (including management), but some of the various departments are split differently.
