"When I opened my eyes you were the first object I saw" and giggles roamed the room amok. This was said by a male friend and colleague of mine to a jolly fellow female colleague. The statement on its own, however innocent as it may have been uttered, is wrong. You can't say such a thing to another person, especially in this day in that we are puffing sensibility on and off set in terms of addressing sexualism, ease of workspace sharing and sexual harassment.
Objectifying another sole is wrong, and bad is when it comes from the other border of gender. How we see each other and say it out is crucial, it sifts the truest of us as persons before being colleagues that we are. According to a research that I recently read, the issue of ease of workspace sharing doesn't get intensely interrogated as it must be, and surprisingly a fertile feedlot of employee challenges.
Normally we can't do without using the common space provided if we are to carry out work. But, how we relate to one another determines the outcomes of the business being productive or not. If one feels bad about another, it affects the entire TEAM performance, and that alone a scary thought. Ask any colleague what they see first in looking at the other gender and at their same and you'll be amazed by what you're to hear. There're lots of challenges to uncover that're mated to the common space that work is carried out from.
A lot of industrial psychologists and HR personnel will alert you to a host of underlying issues that haunts the workplaces. At most it's the senior colleagues. Those entrusted with the task of overseer are the horn beepers in treating subordinates as their special projects. The issue of asensual objectification might sound innocent but brews into something else if not nipped from the onset as it tends to morph, and once allowed, it won't be easy to stop its snowball form fall from the anchoring towers.
The minute a colleague sees another as an object, it means they are well on their way to knocking for more if allowed. Calling another as an object shouldn't be promoted at all no matter its justification. If poorly handled, those that are resisting advances or hit ups might endure victimization. Abuse of rank is the most troubling aspect in lead of workspace tendency that many subordinates suffer.
In conclusion: any subordinate needs protection from such occurrences as they breed uncalled for eventualities of regret. A woman is a person who like you came to work, a man is also a person who came for their sole productive purpose, and should be viewed and treated alike. You the high ranker, some of your social tendencies might come across as unprofessional, so, do the better you for harmony to prevail in the place of work. Make people enjoy working with you...dp
