Man claims 'no drama, no politics' after joining workplace with no women

A graphic designer sparked controversy on social media after claiming that working in a company with no female employees and older colleagues has created a "drama-free" environment.

In a post on social media planform X, Anurag Maurya announcing his new job, claimed that his new work place had only men over the age of 40 and no female employees.

“Finally joined a company with no women, and all my colleagues are 40+ in age. No drama, no politics. Apne kaam se kaam." he wrote in his post.

Many social media users criticised his post for his sexist remark, which came days after he took to social media in search of a full time graphic designer position in Delhi.

While some congratulated him on his new job, others slammed him for his 'sexist' remark insinuating that women are the source of drama in the workplace.

One user commented, "Sir I was a part of a team of about 20 people with 6 ladies in it and all of us worked with the same grit and discipline. We cannot generalise in a team. You may be unlucky to not have team players previously. But believe me, working with ladies in your team is also important."

“You are mistaken.. all male colleagues = office politics,” another said.

Another comment read, "Bhai, politics is not gender-based…! I guess the only difference is your company won't have to "force out" a poor pregnant woman."

A user quipped, “So, no women at home also to avoid drama? Life must be really peaceful for you.”

"Work is dull with no diversity. Women give different perspectives that men may not even think of. Sure, work may get done anyway, but it's dull," said a user.

Yet another added, "Workplace lacks congruency when there are no women. Eg when in school you would have an all-boys group for a project, you would achieve nothing or the bare minimum. If there is one girl in the group, suddenly all the boys are alert and working."

However, there were a few who agreed with Maurya if only in jest.

A user wrote “You're in corporate haven,” while another added “I was in similar project few years ago and no politics or stress cool environment with oldies.”
