What not to do in the process of adaptation in the men's team?

• In no case do not assume the role of wife, mother or waistcoat. Then men can also treat you quite well, but you will lose your professional status forever.
• No need to reckon that you will be treated with condescension. No one will protect you from worries, slip the chocolates. At work, you simply have to forget that you are a woman. You are a professional in your field.
• Do not dress for work like a parrot. At first, perhaps, someone can and will like such a dress. But then, every day, it will start to irritate more and more. In addition, the dress code all over the world is invented for good reason. So, match it!

• No flirting and flirting in the workplace! At a minimum, you will no longer be respected. Maximum - you will be fired for the reason that for flirting you just forget about why you came here at all. And for just no one will pay money.
• Never do not need to climb to the men in the soul. You can cheer a colleague with a joke (just like a male colleague would). But God forbid begin to pester him with poprosami. This is unethical and ugly, at least. And as a maximum - will negate your entire image.
• Besides, don't give advice to male colleagues. Neither for work, nor even personal life. You are at work, you are colleagues, not friends. Say that you do not understand this issue.

Coming to work in a purely male team, immediately get used to the idea that you will never be to the end. Yes, good relations between you, productive work are possible. But you are a woman, and men will still never be able to trust you as they are of the same sex. Therefore, no need to false during the adaptation. Just be yourself, trying not to deviate from the basic rules!
