For my anecdotal story, I've never been treated worse than when I was doing IT for a hospital and working around nurses, who were almost exclusively women. God it felt like I was in a mean girls movie or some campy coming of age story about bullying.

I don't think hospitals do count, being burned out could be an official requirement for the job and you wouldn't notice a difference.

Being burned out doesn't mean being catty, intentionally spreading false rumors, forming impenetrable cliques, and just being rude and talking behind each others backs.

I get it, nurses are over worked and under paid. But so are a ton of other professions and they dont have this same problem.
