Earlier I was in different team and in my team there were all guys. The advantage of working with guys is that they aren't nosy and don't ask you personal question. But working with female colleagues can be a pain at times. Ofcourse we gel up and relate with same gender more compared to opposite gender but females can be nosy at times. Not all, but some of them. They want to know many or everything about you. I myself is female and no offence to other female in general. But I faced this with many of female employees in my current and previous organisation. They can go overboard by asking you personal question which you're not comfortable to answer. Are you married? And if you pause answering this they get it that you're divorced and they will have further question - why were you divorced? What is your age? Do you love your husband? Why aren't you wearing mangalsutra? Do you have a boyfriend? etc... And they have habit of bragging. I don't want to sound rude by telling them "no personal question" or "be professional". Because I am new there and they are working there before me. So I may need their help for work in future so can't afford to offend them... But their question can be irritating at times?
I like to be friendly with people. But some people just take advantage of this friendliness and if their comfort level increases with you they tend to ask you personal question. The day when I joined one lady started asking my age and martial status etc. And by my facial expression she learned that I am divorced so she said, I understood and her further question was - why were you divorced? I told her "No personal question pls" The next day she was reacting rudely and not helping me in learning my new work? It was very immature of her. Our TL are also not leading us properly. I don't want to go to HR for such small small matters. At times, I wouldn't mind to share my personal details to some extent but some females do lots of back-biting and badmouthing. But working with this type of team can be irritating. I am missing my old team with guys.
