on Sep 8th, 2012 and filed under I’m nearly 29 & have been an electrician for almost 9 years… Generally the guys are cool with me….sometimes I come across older guys who are a bit funny towards me, but I end up winning them over coz they know I’m not just some chick advocating “Girl Power”…anyhow, I’m temporarily in a Supervisors position…I’m really enjoying it, but I’m getting a feeling from a couple of the guys that they are not too happy about it…sometimes they ignore me on the 2-way radio when I’m trying to get them to go to a job…the thing is I’m enjoying this role but just have this yucky feeling today, questioning whether I belong here or not…I love my job & I don’t like how I’m feeling so I thought getting it out here might get it out of my head as its bothering me…BTW; I realise that I’m probably just being a girl!!
Thanks HappiestGirlInTheWorld…thanx heaps for the encouragement & congrat’s on also giving us a good name!
I agree rlc…straight to the point…I like it!

You didn’t cite any obvious signs that the guys were causing problems. You may just be overly analytical since you are a new manager and trying to do a good job.
If you like it, stick with it. You now have something to put on your resume that shows leadership and you can go elsewhere if it doesn’t work out where you are.
first of all, i know how you feel! i work in engineering. anyhow, you got that supervisor position because you believed you could do it and so did someone else obviously. Do not let a couple of jealous guys get you down and rob you of your confidence. You may have to stop worrying about being their friend and trying to fit in and start showing them who is boss! You give us women a good name!
