London: Female employees who want to succeed in the workplace should keep their mouths shut, while the more often men voice their opinions the better they are seen at doing their jobs, a new study has revealed.
Research suggests that women who talk too much in the office are seen as less competent than their quieter peers.
The researchers, from Yale University, say that chatty women are seen as a nag who is `domineering and presumptuous’ if they speak too much.
Their depressing conclusion is that if you are a woman who wants to get ahead you should hold your tongue – especially in front of men.
“When men talk a lot, people want to reward them. But when women do it, they are seen as being too domineering, too presumptuous,” the Daily Mail quoted Victoria Brescoll as saying.
