Exploring why women increasingly struggle to keep workplace secrets, even when explicitly asked not to share, and the psychological drivers behind this growing phenomenon that's damaging professional relationships.
The Female Confidentiality Crisis at Workのベスト引用
“
The gender difference isn't about the volume of sharing—it's about valence. Women are significantly more likely to disclose negative experiences as a form of social support seeking, while men often share information for self-enhancement or status.

What is this new phenomenon or at least for the last 10 or 15 years it seems it’s gotten worse where no matter where you go in your job or at work or at home or in the neighborhood you can talk to a woman in private but she always has to tell someone else what you said, even when you ask her not to say it and I’ve seen this happen professionally too, and it gets people in trouble, but why do women feel like they need to blurt out things that were set in confidence and leak them to other people
