Date: January 21st, 2018 12:49 PM Author: Thriller red lettuce partner At some point in the past few years, the terms “work wife” and “work husband” sneaked into the lexicon, describing what are typically benign workplace intimacies: a close co-worker with whom you share not only tasks but also complaints and office gossip. When these relationships reflect a modern marital dynamic of egalitarian husband and wife forging forward as a team, “work husbands” and their “work wives” can be healthy platonic partnerships. But as women who work know, egalitarianism is not always the norm, and many of us have found ourselves serving as the caretaking “work wife” to the emotionally needier male co-worker or superior. This is common dynamic, if a seldom-addressed one (it certainly went unmentioned by the “Women Who Work” author, Ivanka Trump, who occupies this very role in her father’s professional world). https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/20/opinion/donald-trump-and-his-work-wives.html |
