I just left a factory job, because my coworkers were too gossipy and backstabbing. I was the only female in my department. I often got blamed for “ratting” on my coworkers, even though I never complained about a single thing. One guy made up lies about me and triangulated a few of my other coworkers against me simply just because i wouldn’t flirt with him (he’s married and i wasn’t attracted to him). It’s definitely not just a female thing.
