I actually experienced this with a younger coworker....she was obsessed...and because i was quiet, and didnt entertain her messiness, she couldnt handle it. I wasnt rude, or mean. I am a kind person...helpful. And she just kept pushing the envelope. Making sly comments about my performance. I just didnt get it. Until i thought about it....she was jealous. And i cannot fathom why because i am just me. I come to work just to do my job. And people would be cool with me...she didnt have that...people didnt like her...she hated me for everything she wasnt. It was embarrassing to watch...and im glad she left. Uuugh. Just weird.
There is 1 that's 12 yrs younger than me at work that I saw early on that she is a narcissist from something she did & I told her I can't mess w her because of it &❤ she turned the weak minded flying monkeys against me without even hearing my side & I was civil w her still when I told her I just won't be bothered w the fakeness & yet & still she still had to try to isolate me because I was straight up & few yrs later she said she wanted to be friends again & I told her we hv to address the obvious & then move forward & she denied it & tried to play me again when I was going to be open again & it's a No go again & her flying monkeys are scared of me but think I care about them when it's none of their business lol 😅. Like school mess
I’m the one they come to advice for we have good relationships once they get to know me. They also put me up on trends just to be in the know as I’m a semi recluse if not for work…lol. My daughter just sent me a nice playlist so ya know…balance… youthfulness will always be valued and wisdom and patience and yes Aging beautifully has its value as well. It is sad this happens because to become older, you were once younger so we older women have the upper hand in life experience so the competing should not be there and no one can do 25 better than an actual 25 year old woman so just….don’t. I’m also celibate and they know this so I’m not seen as competition albeit I have the natural onion that two of my coworkers purchased for themselves (travel nursing they should’ve asked me for advice😂)….and the men that I entertain are 99 years old and know how to Zelle. They can have their peer men. In my work you are limited by your licensure so there is no competing there. Either you have what it takes or you don’t. Women of all ages should support other women. I actually thought the interwebs was helping to improve this younger woman/older woman dynamic as when I was younger…I’m now 50 for perspective, men would always try to call older women bitter or hating thereby blocking the younger woman from listening to any of the sound advice she tried to give in order to spare the younger woman from a worse fate. I watch women of all ages how they switch up once a man comes around…that’s what I watch. I’ve seen the quiet women perk up when a man shows up. Ijs…those women who can get along well with males but every woman is jealous of them is a red flag to me. I get along better with women and give women more patience because I know if they are dealing with a man and or raising children…they are stressed and tired and cranky….I don’t have that issue my two are grown and I got rid of the man almost a decade ago. Once I woke up to their games and broke my programming I started to hold men accountable, but I try to give women much Grace….especially bw…we need it. Anywho forgive my rant.
I’m so glad Gen Z is talking about this because us Millennials were put through hell and still are. Boomers and Gen X women have been hateful, they act as though they are your auntie or mother and deserve parental respect from a child. And the young lady speaking about how feminine black women are ostracized told no lies!
Exactly.....like your kids are at home not here...and I'm 47...I treat everyone with respect...I hate that whole aura...I'm older so I know everything...girl shetup today lol
Yes! I think WW hate feminine Black women. I’m married to a WM and I told him his people are very uncomfortable with beautiful feminine BW and only like us when we are overweight, been through struggles and looking a mess, and I’m proven right every day. Mind you I’m 49 but look 29 with not as much as one single line or wrinkle and I dress 29 too lol. I take care of myself, walk confidently and look super happy. When we’re out they give me the dirtiest looks 😅 😂
@mks6148 I agree that because we are youthful and feminine, and not bitter it's perceived negatively...I love myself, and there's nothing wrong with that❤️
Older women in the workplace are hell! I aspire to never hate on other people ESP younger women... we need more female mentors who genuinely mean well and are secure in their maturity and growth
Yup a lot of young co workers feel like you OWE THEM MOTHERING!!!! Just bc you’re a bit older. Or they feel like you should also dim your brightness bc they’re the young girl.
Don’t have to be older or a woman! I had a jealous male coworker who seemed to be bothered by the rapport I had with another male coworker in that department that he was really cool with. It was sooooo weird I had never knowingly before experienced jealousy from a man over another man and I didn’t know how to handle it
I’m still experiencing this, from female coworkers, some younger, some the same age, some older. I have learned to ignore it unless their behavior necessitates my action.
This is always me!😂 be mad ion have kids, don’t care bout missing work and not giving af. I no longer make coworkers friends and be too friendly, they really be jealous of you!
Yesss! Girl, you ain’t said nothing but a word. For the life of me, I been struggling these past months dealing with an older co-worker that be low-key shading me and just having me in my head sometimes. I believe it’s jealousy. Although, I’m always the type that’s like “jealous of me?” For what? We all trying our best, Auntie!
I went through it months ago with an older woman coworker. She spread all these lies and scandalized my name around the company even tried to turn others against me. I finally switched shifts so I no longer see her. Thank God. 🙌🙌🙌
I think this happens to women, particularly Black women, by other women of ALL ages. I have been targeted at work by older women, younger women and women my own age. Jealousy has no respect of person.
I know the general advice was to elevate yourself and stonewall them but I ended up telling off my older coworker. The micro aggressions towards me were just the tipping point and she caught me on the wrong day. “We have too much work here, we cannot also accommodate your misery, please leave it home just like the rest of us” I wasn’t proud of stepping out of character but I do find that checking someone and telling them about themselves works just as well, and to take the power back I went to HR myself and built a case of bullying and harassment which the entire department (10 ppl) defended me and she had to be taken out of the operation for 2 weeks to work on her behavioral issues. Ladies, if you have company policy books regarding acceptable behaviors please use this to prove a point and embarrass these bitter unprofessional women.
I agree sometimes you have to tell people off. Just don’t yell or cuss. Be calm, diplomatic, and exact. Keep a paper trail. You do have to show you have a backbone just be wise about it. It’s easier with equals but a bit more challenging with someone you report to or can affect your review.
I work with an older jealous coworker who is way past retirement years in her 70s! Were the only 2 in my unit at our particular location and We’re supposed to be on a hybrid schedule but I work from home as much as I can to avoid being around her.
I experienced this when working at Facebook a few years ago. I used to go into work with a full beat, a natural beat but it was still a full face. One day I didn’t have time to do my makeup so I just went in with a little mascara and lipgloss and she was like “oh you look so much better like that you should just do this from now on.” Trying to convince me to stop coming to work with a full face of makeup. Then later I let one of our mutual friends borrow $800 that she never paid back (i know, I know I will never let anyone borrow money from me again from this experience) and she sided with the girl who never paid me back, while they talked mess about me and I did nothing to that girl besides give her money she never paid back. There’s way more but just to keep it short yes this happens a lot, it shows me the type of woman I don’t want to be. When I start getting older and as my beauty starts to fade I will never be jealous and make sure to uplift the young beautiful women that are around me.
You can literally take her small claims court for that amount. I’ll be damned in this economy if someone borrows that amount from me and not pay it back, nah I’ll see you court sis.
This is true women give other women a hard time in the workplace in general..And this is why alot of women prefer to work with men or work in a position that requires them to work by themselves..It's less stressful and more peaceful...I just keep having the same type of run ins with women even being in my mid 30's and im over the pick me competition games women like to play with eachother in the workplace...I'm not here to take your work husband from you im here so that I can keep my lights on and my children fed...
Most women do NOT prefer to work with men. Men behave just the same and they’re less likely to promote you over another male. It’s just that women will generally say something to your face, while men will have a lot of really disturbing and disgusting things to say behind your back when they’re with the other guys. Coming from someone who had to watch cameras and deal with workplace incidents, it’s not the women you need to watch out for.
Any hate from older coworkers has never been about any potential competition over a man. That kind of jealousy always came from women in my own age group. Older women coworkers did resent the fact that I didn't allow myself to be exploited and would not always go with the flow, nor was I interested in gossip. The only reason I can understand why some women who dress fancier than her coworkers is confusion about what her intentions are. Like they may think she is not planning to work as much and just intends to take it easy and look pretty, or like she's trying to play boss and use her appearance to gain undeserved status over them. That can be a threat
@Ccl2tb I have to disagree with the beginning of your comment about how older women never try to compete with other women in the workplace for the attention of the men in the workplace. Because some of them crave the attention from the men and like to be the IT gworl at the job too..Which is why I said women in general because I have experienced women like that in young and older women.Other than that I can agree with what you're saying.
I have dealt with so many older bitter jealous out of shape ladies in the workplace, like i. Didn’t tell you to have kids young and waste your life lol or tell you to eat everything in sight
I hate to say because I ❤ my ppl but my most traumatic work experiences were with black women & gays my age or younger. Most rude, condescending group of ppl ever. Very mean for no reason. I don't argue & I'm not a fighter but having to go to work & protect your peace from toxic ppl was very exhausting. I've met all my best friends at work & I'm greatful but Idc how old I get, I will never work with a bunch of women again.
This isn't just older women, we should be held accountable for the misogyny we also hold. Because the hate is real & many of us are not accepted into this whole womanhood thing.
ee@@joimonae4090 That's not my point. Has nothing to do with feelings, has everything to do with people being oppressive. Feminism isnt the place for every woman to go to, to be in a place where she can find herself. Not every woman feels comfortable in her womanhood & some need guidance to feel that way. great, that you don't, but I'm speaking for those who do & at least I thought I did.I know if you seek from others, you fall for them too.
I'm not sure it's an "older woman" issue as much as a "woman" issue. Some women, unfortunately, compete with each other as opposed to supporting one another. I am hopeful this is changing. Also, corporations have a nasty habit of having a person working with, or even training, their replacement. So often, peoples anger is misplaced.
@@HappyMe-sr7vr thank you! I’ve seen men be so insecure and jealous around younger guys, men have very fragile egos. And they get jealous even more than women do
I think this is true, but the difference is that older women often start by acting like they are looking out for you or trying to help you. But, they really are just trying to figure you out so they can tear you down later. It’s an issue that needs to be called out.
Ehh in my experience, it usually is older women. Younger women generally work fine with me. Older women tend to get snippy and mean with me and cop an attitude. As to why that is, your guess is as good as mine. Male coworkers I've rarely had an issue with, but the ones that were bad tended to be pretty misogynistic in my opinion. For example, talking down to female coworkers in a condescending way.
I’m older now but I remember an older coworker when I was young would constantly make the statement “these young heauxs don’t want to work” . I’m the type to do my face and spray on a perfume and the “getting near retirement and or mean women” now state something about me to make them feel better about themselves “ here come the medical model, it’s fashion nova srubs , maybe it’s maybeline” . It’s always women having something to say. it’s jealous hearts and it doesn’t stop you can be 65 or 20 they will hate. If you’re smart, nice looking , care about your appearance, bringing good energy, and fit prepare your self . Do not become one of those hags they aren’t happy not at work, not at home, because they aren’t happy within.
Im dealing with a younger jealous coworker. Its ridiculous. She copies me. Tries to dress like me. Wears her makeup like me. Wears jewlery like me. She does everything possible to be passive aggressive and pretend she likes me to my face but tries to create problems behind my back.
When you walk in a room and the vibe is that they gossip about you. I actually walked in on two older ladies talking ish about a coworker. That’s why I keep to myself and I’m not sorry about it
I learned this the hard way, not only in the workplace but life in general: you can never be friends with someone who is jealous of you (or just jealous in general). The evil they will come at you with, and the havoc they will wreak is destructive for those who don't have that mindset of being threatened with other competent females. Take care of yourselves and protect yourselves! How they talk about other people to you is how they will talk about you to other people, stay safe ladies! ❤🙏
Don't think the Jealous Older woman is just at work they be in every day life as well , I've heard so many older women talk real bad about young women, how you that pressed as a older woman about what another woman doing older or not, but I have heard real catty conversation, real nasty and you can hear the jealous and envy in their voice when talking about young women, Its not all older women but be mindful they exist
Yes. It’s disgusting & disappointing. They don’t see how they are a direct link to the younger generations of women’s behaviors & decisions. They don’t want to guide & mentor, they want to compete. Weird.
I'm an older woman, who doesn't look my age, this woman who was older showed so much hate n jealousy. She went so far as to go in my personal file, and told everyone my age, to TRY age shame me. I've had women younger than me hate me for who I am. I get along with Gen Z they're much more mature and fun.
This is hard to fight when you care about people, when you're in social services and you have lived experience with the community you serve (homelessness, foster care, etc). This happens so often that it's draining. I'm a hyper-sensitive and things like this weigh on me. This is even in churches, and also in families. I just stay away from the large majority.
Read some Psalms before you go to work. Buy some tourmaline crystals, it absorbs negativity. Charge it in the sun. Buy tigers eye, it's a crystal for evil eye. Do an egg cleanse at least once a week and flush it down the toilet.
look i’m 29 and an 18 yr old coworker just gave me some of the soundest advice, really a reminder to self, that i’ve gotten in a while and i was thankful for that. at the time i was working every day, 4 10s at one job and then part time 3 days at another. she told me i need to be careful and slow down which i know but wasn’t honoring. because of her i put my foot down with my boss and got Sundays off each week for self care. we really need to be there for one another, uplift each other. energy transfers. people around you doing and feeling good, you will do and feel the same.
Aunties STOP 🛑 MESSING WITH THESE BABIES, YOUR insecurities are showing. Young women don't mind them, don't start drama, don't talk about them behind their backs to others, just keep mental notes, write it down if you need to for future reference if it gets excessive. In that case you definitely need to talk to a higher up someone higher than them to get that situation taken care of you should be able to do your job without workplace drama. Remember none of your coworkers are your "friends" I don't care where you work at you are an employee, you are there to do a job, do your job, do it well💐 then go home.
I’ve experience this type of jealousy from all ages. I’m older now and have experienced this from those younger than me as well. I don’t think jealousy is limited to age it’s more of an attitude or insecurity. I’m older and very secure among all ages but have intimidated the younger words by my presence , success etc . Keeping it real and balanced .
As someone that had my master's degree by the time I was 23 and became a supervisor around 26/27...I found the most problematic employees were the people my age range that were not in supervisor's role. I never had an issue with the older women. Yes, they might be stuck in old routines but that's about it. Maybe it depends on the industries you work in 🤷🏾♀️. However, I do think there are jealous women that are older, but the younger generation gotta also stop thinking everybody is jealous of them too 😂. Sometimes there's just toxic work environments overall with a mix of young n old.
And sometimes ppl not even jealous they just don’t wanna be your friend. You aren’t their type of friend maybe. And that’s ok just get that check bbbyyyy
I love tgis because I experienced this all. It can be traumatizing, and even til now, out of my 20s and 30s, I still get hate, and most of these women are in my age group, but I'm one of those women whos been blessed to look young for my age because I take care of myself so I lift young women like this up because of my experiences.
In The Nursing Field It's A Real && Rampant Thing! The Older Nurses Pick On The Younger Ones. They Think Because They're Older They Can Be Condescending....I Can't Wait To Leave These Old Hags Behind 😅😂💰
I agree, being a nurse but more than not it's the new nurse vs the seasoned nurse. I became a nurse at 38 and I had younger age nurses, treat me like that and I had to learn real fast to shut it down, defend myself, grow a thick skin and CYA. Because the Lord knows, they won't stop till they get your license revoked on something stupid, they are relentless and God forbid, you take a baby nurse under your wing, they see red. They expect you to be just as abusive and I REFUSED when it was my time to mentor. I never saw the point of "eat their own" that's a practice that needs to come to a STOP. Seriously.
I literally have audio recording of my coworker who is 20+ years my senior talking dog shit about me behind my back, but to this day smiles in my face. Prior to this, I never believed I was important enough to be hated on, mainly because I don’t have that energy in or on me.
Older women also will not like older women who still got it going on..My mother was one of those older black women who was still in shape and looked 20 years younger than her age and the other frumpy grumpy older women were jealous and tried to make my mother 's life miserable...So it's not just younger women who are their victims
It's literally crazy that so many have experienced being treated unjustly or in a jealous manner by co workers, you're supposed to be a " team" member , we should build each other up and be encouraging. Workplace " cliques" are also a big issue that I have seen over my years of employment in Healthcare. My take on all this kind of negative energy is that you are outshining and living the life they failed to accomplish. Absolutely no one deserves to be treated in a negative manner for being "you." Speak to HR about hostile work environment but in mean time shine on from an older(46) but still young black woman ❤💯
Oh my oh my! I’m so glad this is being addressed. Because I’m definitely dealing with this in the workplace now. Geesh! And I swear I be questioning myself like is it me?! The subtle remarks and actions be having me in my head. I’m 31, however my colleagues are in their mid 40’s to 50’s and I can definitely feel the micro-aggressions.
I’m an older woman now and have crazy stories of my younger years in the workplace with older women. Healthy camaraderie turned to underhanded behavior and jealousy. I had admiration for a new dept manager and that turned to her doing the most to make me quit. I had created a new job title/duties at a company and it made others pissed. I will never understand it! She was fired a couple years later but it didn’t make me feel good. I feel like I have ptsd but my experience and skills have not gone to waste. Young women, keep going and don’t let this bring you down!
It's not just older women. Anyone could be jealous of your energy, the way how you carry yourself especially sometimes it's your closest relatives (moms, cousins, sisters, etc.).
I experienced it from both older and younger women if you have beauty and brains you are threat especially if your in a higher position than them its a problem smh
I’ve experienced this from both ends - older and younger women were horrible to me in the workplace. The older woman wanted all my connections to be through her, wrote nasty all caps emails to me, policed my wardrobe, what I ate, hair styles, my religion, and overall workplace bullied me. I worked for her for over 8 years and she went around in our field bad mouthing me because finally left…The younger woman would come to work talking to subordinates very disrespectful and aggressively. She would call someone out in a meeting in front of 10 other people, shut you down, and had this attitude like “I wish you would say something back.” One day a WW complained about me and took credit for my work and she took her side, only to later find out that I had done most of the project by myself and into the wee hours of the morning…I couldn’t repeat going through the abuse so I quit after being there for less than a year. She then tells someone “She’s leaving, and it’s unfortunate.” O_o oh yeah?
this is why I’m pursuing a career that lets me work independently . Because those old evil coworkers will really break you down mentally especially at such a young age when your mind is still developing and growing . but the pain you cause is the same pain you feel . karma knows everybody’s address.
At almost 37, even I still deal with this from older women. However, you correct or constructively criticize a young girl, she thinks you're picking on her because you're jealous or hating blah blah blah🙄. Every older woman is not a hater or envious of young girls. Some of us sit in our wisdom comfortably and admire some of the ways of this new generation.
I’m a teacher and work with other black women older and my age. At every job I’ve had, I’ve always had an issue with the administrators and the other teachers. They’re always looking me up and down, make comments on my body and my figure, laugh at anything that I say, and try to downplay my accomplishments and my ambition. It’s gross asf. Like the older one I work with is always throwing both subtle and non-subtle shade at me unprovoked. I’m just like bihhh what’s the issue? She even made a comment about my body too asking about my routine and comparing her body to mine. So at this point, I know she’s just a hater and so are the other ones. I’m one of the only ones who isn’t a baby mama, made good money, and have a nice car. Plus I don’t kiss behind and I’m introverted. So I know that’s where the hating is coming from. Even my friends at work see it and told me they know they’re just hating on me.
There was one older lady who kept herself up and all of the women her age hated on her! Hair did , nails , did, make up did, nice body, pretty teeth. FLY! And we all wore scrubs soo it wasn’t the clothes. I mean she was drop dead gorgeous I told her every time I saw her. She gave me lipstick tips and stuff . She eventually left bc of the toxic environment . She is about 56 yrs old right now and her daughter is 35 like me , her sons 33 and 30 . I worked with her son and would always tell him your mom is so so pretty like it’s not fair ! 😍 and she was a regular black person / brown skin/ black features, kinky hair.
This video is no lies , when I was in my internship, I was being told that a salary of 55k in California was a good thing with a clinical masters degree, I was being told by the seasoned clinicians how they survived off 47k and I had to remember I was new , despite having 10 years of clinical experience under my belt, before i decided to complete a master’s degree 🙄
I had a horrible experience of being bullied and treated like shit on my first professional job. I reminded her of the woman who took her college boyfriend with whom she had twins. She did get fired, but that did something to me. I will never allow such disrespect again. Horrible experience.
I’ve been WAITING ON THIS 🫤😩🤣🤣🤣 glad we finally openly talking about it now ‼️ bet y’all won’t talk about how they claim you’re UNTEACHABLE or arrogant/cocky because they can’t make all your decisions or you go against their advice at times because you have your own mind and they forget that ‼️😩🤦🏾♀️
Yeeeah, i wish somebody had explained this to me when i was younger and in the corp world. It was straight up demonic how these women, other older bw would come at me. Nobody explained it.
Good morning, ladies. I am a young black man in Canada, a recent university graduate working at a government job. My boss is an older white female who hates me and all the talented minority types on the team. I like your videos. Keep up the good work.
Dealing with this RIGHT NOW💯..had to make a retention yesterday in front of my older BLACK female boss and she made it a point to correct me MID PRESENTATION when in reality o shares the right information and HER BOSS our Sr.VP Complimented my work and told me how valuable it is.
I’ve dealt with them being older, younger and my age it’s just jealously in general. Idk why as women we’re like that to one another it’s not just work it’s everywhere. It’s they secretly see you as a threat or they feel to themselves your doing better them, maybe they perceive you to look better, u may make more , maybe a guy likes you. Etc
As a 21 year old. I do see the importance of calling out toxic people but even if some older women are jealous, so what🤷🏽♀️? Younger ones be jealous too if not more. Jealousy has nothing to do with age. That girl at 22:13 is weird. I have nothing against older men. However, older men coming after us is only an ego boost to insecure women who probably didn’t have luck with guys her own age. Most of these older women ain’t worried about us. Some of y’all make the rest of us look desperate and gullible 😭.
6:10 Sis story is similar to mine even down to working two weeks after I turned 16 to support the household. The CFO at my company loved me rotten. Before he retired he gave me a big raise and promotion. He retired two months later and three months later from then, that older jealous co-worker fired me. I’m still in shock because this was recent.
Be mindful of whom you support they'll soon see you as competition, accuse you of jealousy and envy, these people have never had nor genuinely supported other's,they are only motivated by fakeness so in return no reciprocal healthy relationships..
I haven’t finished this video, but I can’t help but notice that almost every single woman speaking on this topic is a POC. That adds another layer to the jealous older woman in the workplace. They are not only jealous of the work you do, but your personal life also triggers them. Even when you don’t share. They are aware that you have a life outside of work and they are pissed they have made work their life and you leave work at work.
I think older women are jealous because we dare to choice different. We aren’t bound by wanting to please our parents, families & society, at large. A lot of them regard their life choices; they’re projecting.
It goes BOTH WAYS younger ones are SOOOO entitled ! And they treat older ones with condescending attitude making stupid comments like “when are you retiring?” And they (the majority of the young ones) are LAZY! zero respect!
I am the older work almost 40 but the older ladies think I am younger than them and the young ones feel I am thier age but I am light years ahead of them… I just stay to myself but thier energy toward me is crazy I just go to work and do my job I day good morning to everyone and speak when needed no small talk but I guess that’s a problem
Exactly… Younger women act entitled and have the most stank personality. They actually think they can get under your skin as if we’re on the same page in life. I got too much going on to be so petty
@@nakiajones3963 Those are the ones who will target the older black women, to avoid punishment from racism though, they not gone talk about that....The hate must go somewhere huh...
I’ve had it on both sides. Definitely when I was younger and now I’ve had it with the reverse where some of the younger ones are doing the same thing the older ones were doing. 🤦🏾♀️ P.S. it’s not just in the workplace. It’s everywhere you go or tend to congregate amongst people that you know church, activities in general, friend groups etc. just beware ladies. Older jealous women were younger jealous women do not be fooled.
Meanwhile those older women they talking about don’t even know what they talking about. So many are desperate to be “that girl” in their story…they make up villains lol.
Ppl definitely had opportunities 10 years ago lol. This generation is insane, we were all young once and we all get old. I think it boils down to the individuals personality, not their age. I used to love my older coworkers.
I went through bullying by older women as well, she definitely didn’t like my work ethics when it comes to my customer service, my personality, even my character, she was rude every time I spoke about the job front and not taking personal on my end, she is just a bitter black woman.
I just understand how some ppl think they hve the right to be so hateful & get away with it. I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night knowing that I've caused a person to quit or lose their job for no reason. I deal with this with an older guy i work with. The jealousy, then disrespect, the rudeness, the hateful stares? Luckily, other ppl notice & have my back, they help me out with anything I need.
I can honestly say I work with all older women in my department and even thought I hate my current office I love working with them. They are super sweet, I call them my work aunties
I’ve seen this happen at a job a few years ago, an older girl got promoted & was condescending to most of the women in the office, by the time management notice what she was doing, she put in a 2 week notice to work a new job remote for 3 dollars less an hr, she said it was for her family but we all knew she took the new job because she rather quit than take the anticipated firing
Older female coworker here. You can't utter a 5 word sentence without dropping two f bombs. You have a temper tantrum whenever you're expected to do work. If management leaves a note in cursive writing you need a translator. You expect the company to provide your lunch and hygiene products. And more than anything else, you make a man who doesn't deserve you the center of your world and expect everyone else to pick up your slack because he keeps you too upset to function. It's not jealously. I don't want to be you. It's annoyance. I paid my dues raising children. I just dont need you on my nerves.
Yep. I have several at my job. They’re married, doing 50/50 and have adult children living with them. They’ll say micro aggressions towards me and act dumb when I check them. I just ignore them and it drives them crazy, they want your attention, they want your energy. Don’t give it to them.
I’m experiencing this at work, however I’m older in this situation and all the people sick with jealousy are younger AND in higher positions than me. Baffling.
The last girl talking about men only date younger women and calling older women basically damaged goods was the ultimate pickmeisha. Older women are 9/10 established so having a man in her life would just be an added bonus. You can’t come at older women with ageism also and pull us down. I love my younger sisters! They inspire me to :). Men tell us this garbage to keep us competing and divided. The sisterhood does not. I have learned so much from women 20+ years older than me because they are more wise.
Can we address jealousy with younger women in the work place, I’m in my 40s and they think I’m so much younger so they try to give me hell, than they say we thought you was our age, but I’m older than them, carry myself with morels, believe in respecting other women, have sense enough to know some men just want to get in your underwear so they can have them all. Some younger people make their parents look bad, no home training. But I understand some old and young women do have a jealous nature no matter the age. Usually a jealous older women is raising and teaching a jealous younger woman.
It’s not an age thing, it’s a personal thing. The older lady at work went out of her way to help me adjust to my new position. The one my age has a BAD attitude like my presence annoys her and all I’ve ever said to her was “hello”, so I know that’s a her problem and not a “me” problem. Chile I can’t deal with the miserable. I also help the younger girls in the ways that I wished someone would’ve helped me at their age
I actually had an older black man at my previous workplace do this to me & went as far as disrespecting me & trying to get me fired so I had a meeting with the higher ups & told them if they don’t get him off my back, I will pursue legal action & file for workplace harassment & discrimination. He was sexist & misogynistic as well cause I was the only woman in our department.. it was only 2 women in the company. Go figure.
This is kind of sad to watch. I don’t think this is a older woman younger woman situation. I think this is a full-blown woman on woman being jealous of each other. Nothing to do with age my prayer is that these younger women will live to see 50 and 60, and then we have their own experiences to share, the fact that men don’t have these conversations about men competing older or younger should say something to women. I don’t know if Womens can comprehend that we can actually get along. I pray that these young girls don’t go through the hardship the many older women had to go through, it would be interesting to revisit these women in 20 years to see what they are
Being beautiful can be a gift and a curse. Even when you dont want trouble, a woman will cause trouble bc shes jealous
Boom!
True!!!!
Let’s not pretend being younger automatically means you’re beautiful, you can be older and beautiful , women typically look their best in their 30s.
And immature, cowardly men will join in because they can’t have you lol

I actually experienced this with a younger coworker....she was obsessed...and because i was quiet, and didnt entertain her messiness, she couldnt handle it. I wasnt rude, or mean. I am a kind person...helpful. And she just kept pushing the envelope. Making sly comments about my performance. I just didnt get it. Until i thought about it....she was jealous. And i cannot fathom why because i am just me. I come to work just to do my job. And people would be cool with me...she didnt have that...people didnt like her...she hated me for everything she wasnt. It was embarrassing to watch...and im glad she left. Uuugh. Just weird.
this ! you got these kinda ppl
There is 1 that's 12 yrs younger than me at work that I saw early on that she is a narcissist from something she did & I told her I can't mess w her because of it &❤ she turned the weak minded flying monkeys against me without even hearing my side & I was civil w her still when I told her I just won't be bothered w the fakeness & yet & still she still had to try to isolate me because I was straight up & few yrs later she said she wanted to be friends again & I told her we hv to address the obvious & then move forward & she denied it & tried to play me again when I was going to be open again & it's a No go again & her flying monkeys are scared of me but think I care about them when it's none of their business lol 😅. Like school mess
@nesswilliams6929 that's an awful feeling...especially when u know yourself....I'm sorry u went through that
I’m the one they come to advice for we have good relationships once they get to know me. They also put me up on trends just to be in the know as I’m a semi recluse if not for work…lol. My daughter just sent me a nice playlist so ya know…balance… youthfulness will always be valued and wisdom and patience and yes Aging beautifully has its value as well. It is sad this happens because to become older, you were once younger so we older women have the upper hand in life experience so the competing should not be there and no one can do 25 better than an actual 25 year old woman so just….don’t. I’m also celibate and they know this so I’m not seen as competition albeit I have the natural onion that two of my coworkers purchased for themselves (travel nursing they should’ve asked me for advice😂)….and the men that I entertain are 99 years old and know how to Zelle. They can have their peer men. In my work you are limited by your licensure so there is no competing there. Either you have what it takes or you don’t. Women of all ages should support other women. I actually thought the interwebs was helping to improve this younger woman/older woman dynamic as when I was younger…I’m now 50 for perspective, men would always try to call older women bitter or hating thereby blocking the younger woman from listening to any of the sound advice she tried to give in order to spare the younger woman from a worse fate. I watch women of all ages how they switch up once a man comes around…that’s what I watch. I’ve seen the quiet women perk up when a man shows up. Ijs…those women who can get along well with males but every woman is jealous of them is a red flag to me. I get along better with women and give women more patience because I know if they are dealing with a man and or raising children…they are stressed and tired and cranky….I don’t have that issue my two are grown and I got rid of the man almost a decade ago. Once I woke up to their games and broke my programming I started to hold men accountable, but I try to give women much Grace….especially bw…we need it. Anywho forgive my rant.
Sounds like she’s the problem
I’m so glad Gen Z is talking about this because us Millennials were put through hell and still are. Boomers and Gen X women have been hateful, they act as though they are your auntie or mother and deserve parental respect from a child. And the young lady speaking about how feminine black women are ostracized told no lies!
Exactly.....like your kids are at home not here...and I'm 47...I treat everyone with respect...I hate that whole aura...I'm older so I know everything...girl shetup today lol
Yes! I think WW hate feminine Black women. I’m married to a WM and I told him his people are very uncomfortable with beautiful feminine BW and only like us when we are overweight, been through struggles and looking a mess, and I’m proven right every day. Mind you I’m 49 but look 29 with not as much as one single line or wrinkle and I dress 29 too lol. I take care of myself, walk confidently and look super happy. When we’re out they give me the dirtiest looks 😅 😂
@mks6148 I agree that because we are youthful and feminine, and not bitter it's perceived negatively...I love myself, and there's nothing wrong with that❤️
Yes and they think they know everything
@@mks6148yes they hate when you are well put together
Older women in the workplace are hell! I aspire to never hate on other people ESP younger women... we need more female mentors who genuinely mean well and are secure in their maturity and growth
Exactly.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
PREACH
it be the young ones too. they be like "you old and jealous of me." i'm like "girl who are you again?"
Yes I agree that there are two sides of the coin....and some young women fall in this bracket too
People who always think someone is “jealous” of them are typically the problem and their head is big
Yup a lot of young co workers feel like you OWE THEM MOTHERING!!!! Just bc you’re a bit older. Or they feel like you should also dim your brightness bc they’re the young girl.
Alot of them are looking for you to do what their own mother's didn't do, keep your boundaries ladies...
😂 there ain’t no women with her life together jealous of men!.
honesltly, they don't even need to be older to be jaleous.
Don’t have to be older or a woman! I had a jealous male coworker who seemed to be bothered by the rapport I had with another male coworker in that department that he was really cool with. It was sooooo weird I had never knowingly before experienced jealousy from a man over another man and I didn’t know how to handle it
I’m still experiencing this, from female coworkers, some younger, some the same age, some older. I have learned to ignore it unless their behavior necessitates my action.
This is always me!😂 be mad ion have kids, don’t care bout missing work and not giving af. I no longer make coworkers friends and be too friendly, they really be jealous of you!
Yesss! Girl, you ain’t said nothing but a word. For the life of me, I been struggling these past months dealing with an older co-worker that be low-key shading me and just having me in my head sometimes. I believe it’s jealousy. Although, I’m always the type that’s like “jealous of me?” For what? We all trying our best, Auntie!
Yes indeed. That’s so true I have to stop being so friendly.
@@chantelllovett4335you better know before it’s too late.
You sound just like me 😂 like fr
Let's not even talk about middle-aged, overweight Black women. AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE 💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣come slow
Oh yeah… don’t get me started on that 🤦🏾♀️I have plenty of stories…
I went through it months ago with an older woman coworker. She spread all these lies and scandalized my name around the company even tried to turn others against me. I finally switched shifts so I no longer see her. Thank God. 🙌🙌🙌
How are you doing today?😊
I think this happens to women, particularly Black women, by other women of ALL ages. I have been targeted at work by older women, younger women and women my own age. Jealousy has no respect of person.
I know the general advice was to elevate yourself and stonewall them but I ended up telling off my older coworker. The micro aggressions towards me were just the tipping point and she caught me on the wrong day. “We have too much work here, we cannot also accommodate your misery, please leave it home just like the rest of us”
I wasn’t proud of stepping out of character but I do find that checking someone and telling them about themselves works just as well, and to take the power back I went to HR myself and built a case of bullying and harassment which the entire department (10 ppl) defended me and she had to be taken out of the operation for 2 weeks to work on her behavioral issues.
Ladies, if you have company policy books regarding acceptable behaviors please use this to prove a point and embarrass these bitter unprofessional women.
I agree sometimes you have to tell people off. Just don’t yell or cuss. Be calm, diplomatic, and exact. Keep a paper trail. You do have to show you have a backbone just be wise about it. It’s easier with equals but a bit more challenging with someone you report to or can affect your review.
I work with an older jealous coworker who is way past retirement years in her 70s! Were the only 2 in my unit at our particular location and We’re supposed to be on a hybrid schedule but I work from home as much as I can to avoid being around her.
I experienced this when working at Facebook a few years ago. I used to go into work with a full beat, a natural beat but it was still a full face. One day I didn’t have time to do my makeup so I just went in with a little mascara and lipgloss and she was like “oh you look so much better like that you should just do this from now on.” Trying to convince me to stop coming to work with a full face of makeup. Then later I let one of our mutual friends borrow $800 that she never paid back (i know, I know I will never let anyone borrow money from me again from this experience) and she sided with the girl who never paid me back, while they talked mess about me and I did nothing to that girl besides give her money she never paid back. There’s way more but just to keep it short yes this happens a lot, it shows me the type of woman I don’t want to be. When I start getting older and as my beauty starts to fade I will never be jealous and make sure to uplift the young beautiful women that are around me.
Well said sis....(shows us the women we don't want to be when we get older) THAT PART 💯💯💯
You can literally take her small claims court for that amount. I’ll be damned in this economy if someone borrows that amount from me and not pay it back, nah I’ll see you court sis.
This is true women give other women a hard time in the workplace in general..And this is why alot of women prefer to work with men or work in a position that requires them to work by themselves..It's less stressful and more peaceful...I just keep having the same type of run ins with women even being in my mid 30's and im over the pick me competition games women like to play with eachother in the workplace...I'm not here to take your work husband from you im here so that I can keep my lights on and my children fed...
Most women do NOT prefer to work with men. Men behave just the same and they’re less likely to promote you over another male. It’s just that women will generally say something to your face, while men will have a lot of really disturbing and disgusting things to say behind your back when they’re with the other guys. Coming from someone who had to watch cameras and deal with workplace incidents, it’s not the women you need to watch out for.
Heavy on pick me competition games
Any hate from older coworkers has never been about any potential competition over a man. That kind of jealousy always came from women in my own age group. Older women coworkers did resent the fact that I didn't allow myself to be exploited and would not always go with the flow, nor was I interested in gossip. The only reason I can understand why some women who dress fancier than her coworkers is confusion about what her intentions are. Like they may think she is not planning to work as much and just intends to take it easy and look pretty, or like she's trying to play boss and use her appearance to gain undeserved status over them. That can be a threat
@Ccl2tb I have to disagree with the beginning of your comment about how older women never try to compete with other women in the workplace for the attention of the men in the workplace. Because some of them crave the attention from the men and like to be the IT gworl at the job too..Which is why I said women in general because I have experienced women like that in young and older women.Other than that I can agree with what you're saying.
I have dealt with so many older bitter jealous out of shape ladies in the workplace, like i. Didn’t tell you to have kids young and waste your life lol or tell you to eat everything in sight
Heavy on the “Out of shape!” part cause …😅
I hate to say because I ❤ my ppl but my most traumatic work experiences were with black women & gays my age or younger. Most rude, condescending group of ppl ever. Very mean for no reason. I don't argue & I'm not a fighter but having to go to work & protect your peace from toxic ppl was very exhausting.
I've met all my best friends at work & I'm greatful but Idc how old I get, I will never work with a bunch of women again.
Yes All the gay girls were attracted to me. One really didn’t like at all. They were all younger than me.
This isn't just older women, we should be held accountable for the misogyny we also hold. Because the hate is real & many of us are not accepted into this whole womanhood thing.
I don’t need to be accepted into woman hood I’m not looking for acceptance 🤷🏽♀️
ee@@joimonae4090 That's not my point. Has nothing to do with feelings, has everything to do with people being oppressive. Feminism isnt the place for every woman to go to, to be in a place where she can find herself. Not every woman feels comfortable in her womanhood & some need guidance to feel that way. great, that you don't, but I'm speaking for those who do & at least I thought I did.I know if you seek from others, you fall for them too.
It’s mainly the OLDER woman

Same here
Me too !!!!!!!!!!! They always watching plotting and lurking always it’s so strange
Goodness me too and all the old white karens are even worse
I'm not sure it's an "older woman" issue as much as a "woman" issue. Some women, unfortunately, compete with each other as opposed to supporting one another. I am hopeful this is changing. Also, corporations have a nasty habit of having a person working with, or even training, their replacement. So often, peoples anger is misplaced.
It’s not even a “woman” issue. Men act the same way
@@HappyMe-sr7vr thank you! I’ve seen men be so insecure and jealous around younger guys, men have very fragile egos. And they get jealous even more than women do
I think this is true, but the difference is that older women often start by acting like they are looking out for you or trying to help you. But, they really are just trying to figure you out so they can tear you down later. It’s an issue that needs to be called out.
Ehh in my experience, it usually is older women. Younger women generally work fine with me. Older women tend to get snippy and mean with me and cop an attitude. As to why that is, your guess is as good as mine. Male coworkers I've rarely had an issue with, but the ones that were bad tended to be pretty misogynistic in my opinion. For example, talking down to female coworkers in a condescending way.
I’m older now but I remember an older coworker when I was young would constantly make the statement “these young heauxs don’t want to work” . I’m the type to do my face and spray on a perfume and the “getting near retirement and or mean women” now state something about me to make them feel better about themselves “ here come the medical model, it’s fashion nova srubs , maybe it’s maybeline” . It’s always women having something to say. it’s jealous hearts and it doesn’t stop you can be 65 or 20 they will hate. If you’re smart, nice looking , care about your appearance, bringing good energy, and fit prepare your self . Do not become one of those hags they aren’t happy not at work, not at home, because they aren’t happy within.
Im dealing with a younger jealous coworker. Its ridiculous. She copies me. Tries to dress like me. Wears her makeup like me. Wears jewlery like me. She does everything possible to be passive aggressive and pretend she likes me to my face but tries to create problems behind my back.
This has happened to me too! When I say they definitely try their hardest to push u out the way but know they can’t is what makes them even more mad!
Omg yes!!!
It's creepy!!!
Nope it's different, if she copies then it means she is learning from you, and nothing is toxic about that.
She probably never had a healthy mother figure in her life
@@brighterwithnzu392being copied is not always flattering. It’s weird.
When you walk in a room and the vibe is that they gossip about you. I actually walked in on two older ladies talking ish about a coworker. That’s why I keep to myself and I’m not sorry about it
I learned this the hard way, not only in the workplace but life in general: you can never be friends with someone who is jealous of you (or just jealous in general). The evil they will come at you with, and the havoc they will wreak is destructive for those who don't have that mindset of being threatened with other competent females. Take care of yourselves and protect yourselves! How they talk about other people to you is how they will talk about you to other people, stay safe ladies! ❤🙏
I learnt the hard way too nowadays I tend to stay away from everyone generally....
Facts! I had to cut off an aunty who was just like this!
Don't think the Jealous Older woman is just at work they be in every day life as well , I've heard so many older women talk real bad about young women, how you that pressed as a older woman about what another woman doing older or not, but I have heard real catty conversation, real nasty and you can hear the jealous and envy in their voice when talking about young women, Its not all older women but be mindful they exist
Women are haters period. I get it from both sides
Yes. It’s disgusting & disappointing. They don’t see how they are a direct link to the younger generations of women’s behaviors & decisions. They don’t want to guide & mentor, they want to compete. Weird.
I'm an older woman, who doesn't look my age, this woman who was older showed so much hate n jealousy. She went so far as to go in my personal file, and told everyone my age, to TRY age shame me. I've had women younger than me hate me for who I am. I get along with Gen Z they're much more mature and fun.
This is hard to fight when you care about people, when you're in social services and you have lived experience with the community you serve (homelessness, foster care, etc). This happens so often that it's draining. I'm a hyper-sensitive and things like this weigh on me. This is even in churches, and also in families. I just stay away from the large majority.
Well said!

look i’m 29 and an 18 yr old coworker just gave me some of the soundest advice, really a reminder to self, that i’ve gotten in a while and i was thankful for that. at the time i was working every day, 4 10s at one job and then part time 3 days at another. she told me i need to be careful and slow down which i know but wasn’t honoring. because of her i put my foot down with my boss and got Sundays off each week for self care. we really need to be there for one another, uplift each other. energy transfers. people around you doing and feeling good, you will do and feel the same.
I’m not cocky, I’m COVERED! Yessss ❤
Aunties STOP 🛑 MESSING WITH THESE BABIES,
YOUR insecurities are showing.
Young women don't mind them, don't start drama, don't talk about them behind their backs to others, just keep mental notes, write it down if you need to for future reference if it gets excessive. In that case you definitely need to talk to a higher up someone higher than them to get that situation taken care of you should be able to do your job without workplace drama.
Remember none of your coworkers are your "friends" I don't care where you work at you are an employee, you are there to do a job, do your job, do it well💐 then go home.
I’ve experience this type of jealousy from all ages. I’m older now and have experienced this from those younger than me as well. I don’t think jealousy is limited to age it’s more of an attitude or insecurity. I’m older and very secure among all ages but have intimidated the younger words by my presence , success etc . Keeping it real and balanced .
As someone that had my master's degree by the time I was 23 and became a supervisor around 26/27...I found the most problematic employees were the people my age range that were not in supervisor's role. I never had an issue with the older women. Yes, they might be stuck in old routines but that's about it. Maybe it depends on the industries you work in 🤷🏾♀️. However, I do think there are jealous women that are older, but the younger generation gotta also stop thinking everybody is jealous of them too 😂. Sometimes there's just toxic work environments overall with a mix of young n old.
And sometimes ppl not even jealous they just don’t wanna be your friend. You aren’t their type of friend maybe. And that’s ok just get that check bbbyyyy
I love tgis because I experienced this all. It can be traumatizing, and even til now, out of my 20s and 30s, I still get hate, and most of these women are in my age group, but I'm one of those women whos been blessed to look young for my age because I take care of myself so I lift young women like this up because of my experiences.
In The Nursing Field It's A Real && Rampant Thing! The Older Nurses Pick On The Younger Ones. They Think Because They're Older They Can Be Condescending....I Can't Wait To Leave These Old Hags Behind 😅😂💰
I agree, being a nurse but more than not it's the new nurse vs the seasoned nurse. I became a nurse at 38 and I had younger age nurses, treat me like that and I had to learn real fast to shut it down, defend myself, grow a thick skin and CYA. Because the Lord knows, they won't stop till they get your license revoked on something stupid, they are relentless and God forbid, you take a baby nurse under your wing, they see red. They expect you to be just as abusive and I REFUSED when it was my time to mentor. I never saw the point of "eat their own" that's a practice that needs to come to a STOP. Seriously.
I give it back to them. I’m a pain in their asses
Nurses are also cruel to young female patients.
Well that saying, “ nurses eat their young .”is a true statement.
It’s horrible in the nursing field . I’ve had to set straight multiple nurses. Like mean for absolutely no reason
I agree, and they try to talk to you in a certain way, like you, their child, or something.
I literally have audio recording of my coworker who is 20+ years my senior talking dog shit about me behind my back, but to this day smiles in my face. Prior to this, I never believed I was important enough to be hated on, mainly because I don’t have that energy in or on me.
I work with all women and its actually not that bad. I just remember work is a place to make money not friends. I try to be careful and respectful.
Older women also will not like older women who still got it going on..My mother was one of those older black women who was still in shape and looked 20 years younger than her age and the other frumpy grumpy older women were jealous and tried to make my mother 's life miserable...So it's not just younger women who are their victims
It's literally crazy that so many have experienced being treated unjustly or in a jealous manner by co workers, you're supposed to be a " team" member , we should build each other up and be encouraging. Workplace " cliques" are also a big issue that I have seen over my years of employment in Healthcare. My take on all this kind of negative energy is that you are outshining and living the life they failed to accomplish. Absolutely no one deserves to be treated in a negative manner for being "you." Speak to HR about hostile work environment but in mean time shine on from an older(46) but still young black woman ❤💯
Thankyou😊💪
Oh my oh my! I’m so glad this is being addressed. Because I’m definitely dealing with this in the workplace now. Geesh! And I swear I be questioning myself like is it me?! The subtle remarks and actions be having me in my head. I’m 31, however my colleagues are in their mid 40’s to 50’s and I can definitely feel the micro-aggressions.
Oh yea
I’m an older woman now and have crazy stories of my younger years in the workplace with older women. Healthy camaraderie turned to underhanded behavior and jealousy. I had admiration for a new dept manager and that turned to her doing the most to make me quit. I had created a new job title/duties at a company and it made others pissed. I will never understand it! She was fired a couple years later but it didn’t make me feel good. I feel like I have ptsd but my experience and skills have not gone to waste. Young women, keep going and don’t let this bring you down!
Facts ❤. They even lie . Sometimes its other Black women your own age. You have to trust God. True light doesnt hate
It's not just older women. Anyone could be jealous of your energy, the way how you carry yourself especially sometimes it's your closest relatives (moms, cousins, sisters, etc.).
Same experience with my half-sister she tries to do black magic against me so I won't go to university and I did nothing to her
This happens to me at EVERY job and it’s always some overweight old woman
I experienced it from both older and younger women if you have beauty and brains you are threat especially if your in a higher position than them its a problem smh
Tbh this is just coworkers in general. I’ve had older and younger women AND men do the exact same things
I’ve experienced this from both ends - older and younger women were horrible to me in the workplace. The older woman wanted all my connections to be through her, wrote nasty all caps emails to me, policed my wardrobe, what I ate, hair styles, my religion, and overall workplace bullied me. I worked for her for over 8 years and she went around in our field bad mouthing me because finally left…The younger woman would come to work talking to subordinates very disrespectful and aggressively. She would call someone out in a meeting in front of 10 other people, shut you down, and had this attitude like “I wish you would say something back.” One day a WW complained about me and took credit for my work and she took her side, only to later find out that I had done most of the project by myself and into the wee hours of the morning…I couldn’t repeat going through the abuse so I quit after being there for less than a year. She then tells someone “She’s leaving, and it’s unfortunate.” O_o oh yeah?
Saying older woman while looking like a older woman.... diabolical 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
OMG, exactly what I was thinking. Talking about older women while not looking young... hilarious!!!
Who?
this is why I’m pursuing a career that lets me work independently . Because those old evil coworkers will really break you down mentally especially at such a young age when your mind is still developing and growing . but the pain you cause is the same pain you feel . karma knows everybody’s address.
At almost 37, even I still deal with this from older women. However, you correct or constructively criticize a young girl, she thinks you're picking on her because you're jealous or hating blah blah blah🙄. Every older woman is not a hater or envious of young girls. Some of us sit in our wisdom comfortably and admire some of the ways of this new generation.
I’m a teacher and work with other black women older and my age. At every job I’ve had, I’ve always had an issue with the administrators and the other teachers. They’re always looking me up and down, make comments on my body and my figure, laugh at anything that I say, and try to downplay my accomplishments and my ambition. It’s gross asf. Like the older one I work with is always throwing both subtle and non-subtle shade at me unprovoked. I’m just like bihhh what’s the issue? She even made a comment about my body too asking about my routine and comparing her body to mine.
So at this point, I know she’s just a hater and so are the other ones. I’m one of the only ones who isn’t a baby mama, made good money, and have a nice car. Plus I don’t kiss behind and I’m introverted. So I know that’s where the hating is coming from.
Even my friends at work see it and told me they know they’re just hating on me.
There was one older lady who kept herself up and all of the women her age hated on her! Hair did , nails , did, make up did, nice body, pretty teeth. FLY! And we all wore scrubs soo it wasn’t the clothes. I mean she was drop dead gorgeous I told her every time I saw her. She gave me lipstick tips and stuff . She eventually left bc of the toxic environment . She is about 56 yrs old right now and her daughter is 35 like me , her sons 33 and 30 .
I worked with her son and would always tell him your mom is so so pretty like it’s not fair ! 😍 and she was a regular black person / brown skin/ black features, kinky hair.
This video is no lies , when I was in my internship, I was being told that a salary of 55k in California was a good thing with a clinical masters degree, I was being told by the seasoned clinicians how they survived off 47k and I had to remember I was new , despite having 10 years of clinical experience under my belt, before i decided to complete a master’s degree 🙄
I had a horrible experience of being bullied and treated like shit on my first professional job. I reminded her of the woman who took her college boyfriend with whom she had twins. She did get fired, but that did something to me. I will never allow such disrespect again. Horrible experience.
I’ve been WAITING ON THIS 🫤😩🤣🤣🤣 glad we finally openly talking about it now ‼️ bet y’all won’t talk about how they claim you’re UNTEACHABLE or arrogant/cocky because they can’t make all your decisions or you go against their advice at times because you have your own mind and they forget that ‼️😩🤦🏾♀️
Yeeeah, i wish somebody had explained this to me when i was younger and in the corp world. It was straight up demonic how these women, other older bw would come at me. Nobody explained it.
Good morning, ladies. I am a young black man in Canada, a recent university graduate working at a government job. My boss is an older white female who hates me and all the talented minority types on the team. I like your videos. Keep up the good work.
These women are just acting narcissistic, sad
No seriously lol.
Ok boomer
Dealing with this RIGHT NOW💯..had to make a retention yesterday in front of my older BLACK female boss and she made it a point to correct me MID PRESENTATION when in reality o shares the right information and HER BOSS our Sr.VP Complimented my work and told me how valuable it is.
I’ve dealt with them being older, younger and my age it’s just jealously in general. Idk why as women we’re like that to one another it’s not just work it’s everywhere. It’s they secretly see you as a threat or they feel to themselves your doing better them, maybe they perceive you to look better, u may make more , maybe a guy likes you. Etc
As a 21 year old. I do see the importance of calling out toxic people but even if some older women are jealous, so what🤷🏽♀️? Younger ones be jealous too if not more. Jealousy has nothing to do with age. That girl at 22:13 is weird. I have nothing against older men. However, older men coming after us is only an ego boost to insecure women who probably didn’t have luck with guys her own age. Most of these older women ain’t worried about us. Some of y’all make the rest of us look desperate and gullible 😭.
6:10 Sis story is similar to mine even down to working two weeks after I turned 16 to support the household. The CFO at my company loved me rotten. Before he retired he gave me a big raise and promotion. He retired two months later and three months later from then, that older jealous co-worker fired me. I’m still in shock because this was recent.
That setback will be a setup... I'm going to pray for you 😔
Thank you sis I appreciate that ❤
Be mindful of whom you support they'll soon see you as competition, accuse you of jealousy and envy, these people have never had nor genuinely supported other's,they are only motivated by fakeness so in return no reciprocal healthy relationships..
I haven’t finished this video, but I can’t help but notice that almost every single woman speaking on this topic is a POC. That adds another layer to the jealous older woman in the workplace.
They are not only jealous of the work you do, but your personal life also triggers them. Even when you don’t share. They are aware that you have a life outside of work and they are pissed they have made work their life and you leave work at work.
I think older women are jealous because we dare to choice different. We aren’t bound by wanting to please our parents, families & society, at large. A lot of them regard their life choices; they’re projecting.
The constant belittling is so insane. I’m a team player in the workplace and it’s so off putting to me.
It goes BOTH WAYS younger ones are SOOOO entitled ! And they treat older ones with condescending attitude making stupid comments like “when are you retiring?” And they (the majority of the young ones) are LAZY! zero respect!
I am the older work almost 40 but the older ladies think I am younger than them and the young ones feel I am thier age but I am light years ahead of them… I just stay to myself but thier energy toward me is crazy I just go to work and do my job I day good morning to everyone and speak when needed no small talk but I guess that’s a problem
Exactly… Younger women act entitled and have the most stank personality. They actually think they can get under your skin as if we’re on the same page in life. I got too much going on to be so petty
@@EnlightenedGoldenBeauty the younger woman that don’t have attitudes are the ones that are complaining. So what do you have to say about that?????
@@nakiajones3963 Those are the ones who will target the older black women, to avoid punishment from racism though, they not gone talk about that....The hate must go somewhere huh...
@@TikaRose222 Stay on the subject 😂😂😂😂😂😂 So don’t act like you don’t know what they’re talking about.
When I was younger she got me fired because she was a union rep
She wrote up a bunch of lies and they believed her. I no longer have regular jobs
This healed my trauma so much. This is everything I needed!! They will make you think your crazy when you know they hate you for absolutely no reason
Yes, I had a young woman call the police on because I told her about her uncleanliness.
I’ve had it on both sides. Definitely when I was younger and now I’ve had it with the reverse where some of the younger ones are doing the same thing the older ones were doing. 🤦🏾♀️ P.S. it’s not just in the workplace. It’s everywhere you go or tend to congregate amongst people that you know church, activities in general, friend groups etc. just beware ladies. Older jealous women were younger jealous women do not be fooled.
Meanwhile those older women they talking about don’t even know what they talking about. So many are desperate to be “that girl” in their story…they make up villains lol.
I experience this last year. I wonder why she always caused drama. She was jealous of me. I even am uncomfortable to admit that.
Ppl definitely had opportunities 10 years ago lol. This generation is insane, we were all young once and we all get old. I think it boils down to the individuals personality, not their age. I used to love my older coworkers.
Exactly, there is no excuse.
SOME OF THEM BE SOOOOOOOOOOOIO MISERABLE!
Exactly 💯
I went through bullying by older women as well, she definitely didn’t like my work ethics when it comes to my customer service, my personality, even my character, she was rude every time I spoke about the job front and not taking personal on my end, she is just a bitter black woman.
Um why r women hating on women. Let’s stick together ladies! Young n old stop being hateful. Im for us no matter what age.
I just understand how some ppl think they hve the right to be so hateful & get away with it. I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night knowing that I've caused a person to quit or lose their job for no reason. I deal with this with an older guy i work with. The jealousy, then disrespect, the rudeness, the hateful stares? Luckily, other ppl notice & have my back, they help me out with anything I need.
YESSSS LADIES PERIOD!!! THIS SHHI HAS GOT TO STOP!!!🎯💯‼️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Let me pause and get my popcorn bcz I have a feeling some of these older women are pushing 40 and me thinking they are closer to retirement age 😂
Lol it's not them. Try 10 years past 40 😘
I can honestly say I work with all older women in my department and even thought I hate my current office I love working with them. They are super sweet, I call them my work aunties
I get both younger and older. Even boys/men too. It's strange. I confident and don't care. Lol 😆
Omg I went through this so bad and still currently going through it. It’s so said.🤦♀️
I’ve seen this happen at a job a few years ago, an older girl got promoted & was condescending to most of the women in the office, by the time management notice what she was doing, she put in a 2 week notice to work a new job remote for 3 dollars less an hr, she said it was for her family but we all knew she took the new job because she rather quit than take the anticipated firing
Older female coworker here. You can't utter a 5 word sentence without dropping two f bombs. You have a temper tantrum whenever you're expected to do work. If management leaves a note in cursive writing you need a translator. You expect the company to provide your lunch and hygiene products. And more than anything else, you make a man who doesn't deserve you the center of your world and expect everyone else to pick up your slack because he keeps you too upset to function. It's not jealously. I don't want to be you. It's annoyance. I paid my dues raising children. I just dont need you on my nerves.
The not being able to function cause of a man is real 😩
Yep. I have several at my job. They’re married, doing 50/50 and have adult children living with them. They’ll say micro aggressions towards me and act dumb when I check them. I just ignore them and it drives them crazy, they want your attention, they want your energy. Don’t give it to them.
I’m experiencing this at work, however I’m older in this situation and all the people sick with jealousy are younger AND in higher positions than me. Baffling.
I have experience both older and younger women hating..its messy
The last girl talking about men only date younger women and calling older women basically damaged goods was the ultimate pickmeisha. Older women are 9/10 established so having a man in her life would just be an added bonus. You can’t come at older women with ageism also and pull us down. I love my younger sisters! They inspire me to :). Men tell us this garbage to keep us competing and divided. The sisterhood does not. I have learned so much from women 20+ years older than me because they are more wise.
Yes she sounds off
This is why I try so hard to stay away from older people
Jealous Older Women in General!!! SMH it's a shame!
Everyone in the comments saying it's younger women too, lol. It's true! She's 4 years younger than me but hates me nonetheless
Can we address jealousy with younger women in the work place, I’m in my 40s and they think I’m so much younger so they try to give me hell, than they say we thought you was our age, but I’m older than them, carry myself with morels, believe in respecting other women, have sense enough to know some men just want to get in your underwear so they can have them all. Some younger people make their parents look bad, no home training. But I understand some old and young women do have a jealous nature no matter the age. Usually a jealous older women is raising and teaching a jealous younger woman.
The only drama I ever had at work was literally from old miserable broads I’m glad this is being spoken about!❤
It’s not an age thing, it’s a personal thing. The older lady at work went out of her way to help me adjust to my new position. The one my age has a BAD attitude like my presence annoys her and all I’ve ever said to her was “hello”, so I know that’s a her problem and not a “me” problem.
Chile I can’t deal with the miserable.
I also help the younger girls in the ways that I wished someone would’ve helped me at their age
Bless your heart I had the same experience somebody finally said it ❤🎉 keep shinning nobody can dim your light 🎉
Keep shining too Sis ❤️
I actually had an older black man at my previous workplace do this to me & went as far as disrespecting me & trying to get me fired so I had a meeting with the higher ups & told them if they don’t get him off my back, I will pursue legal action & file for workplace harassment & discrimination. He was sexist & misogynistic as well cause I was the only woman in our department.. it was only 2 women in the company. Go figure.
This is kind of sad to watch. I don’t think this is a older woman younger woman situation. I think this is a full-blown woman on woman being jealous of each other. Nothing to do with age my prayer is that these younger women will live to see 50 and 60, and then we have their own experiences to share, the fact that men don’t have these conversations about men competing older or younger should say something to women. I don’t know if Womens can comprehend that we can actually get along. I pray that these young girls don’t go through the hardship the many older women had to go through, it would be interesting to revisit these women in 20 years to see what they are
That's a shame. They do discriminate against the younger generation.
This is so true! I experienced this numerous times! SMH!
