Even though I am upper management, people don't approach me about non-work subjects because I don't engage them. I am friendly, personable, remember kids and husband and names and sicknesses, etc, but if someone asks about my life they are likely to hear about a management article I read recently and what-do-you-think about the authors conclusion?
Doesn't this become exhausting?
Covering up yourself all the time, putting on a facade the majority of your life, doesn't it grate on you?
Think of it as focus.
In 8 hours of work most women at my office work for 4 hours and gossip for 4 hours. I double their productivity. For them to do 8 hours of work usually requires 14 hours at the office.
I would rather be running with my dog or at a bar with friends.
