In my workplace the type of behavior is voluntary. I can speak on this because I handed in my resnation to the company three days ago. The reasons for me leaving my current position are variety, identity, autonomy and significance. The variety at my current job was repetition because I constantly had to prove plus provide evidence that I have completed my task or show backdated emails to corroborate my side of the story. Co-workers at my job always do not have a sense of urgency when work needs to be completed. So someone else ends up completing the task at hand. Secondly, identity according to Colquitt is the degree to which the job requires completing a whole, identifiable piece of work from beginning to end with visible outcome.

I think the industry need more men in the field and in the office. I do apologize for what I am about to say but I do not like working with all women. Women are vindictive and caddie if they do not like you they will make sure everyone around you do not like you instead of focusing in on work.
