    I’d like to open a new topic on female bosses / managers / CEOs, etc… and hear your experiences and opinions!

    It happened that I’ve recently lost my job because of the decision of a Corporate branch Director. It happens that this director is a woman. And she seems, at my eyes, pretty incompetent to manage her department on a world-wide level.

    Her decision is totally irrational and seems to be solely based on an emotional reaction rather than the company’s best interest. Indeed this company went through huge efforts to “steal” me from another company I was working for since over 2 years. At first I did not wanted to leave, but they heavily insisted because they wanted a person with specific and particularly rare skills that I have. I knew I was taking a risk but this job offer was better than what I was doing so I accepted, managing nevertheless to get them to almost double my salary.

    After 3 months, when I was finally reaching the productivity level they wanted me to score, I got a call from the HR saying my position was suppressed. I was shocked and thinking WTF!!!???

    After investigating a little it seems that she felt offended because I missed a one on one meeting with her while I was dealing with a client…

    But now, they suppressed my position it will cost this corporation thousands times more to create overseas structures to support their operations abroad!  The funny part is that the reason she invoked to terminate my position is that I was costing her Dpt too much!!! LOL!!!

     

    Now I think about it, every time I ever worked for a woman or under a woman’s supervision, I did witness very poor decisions, emotional whims, and bad management that ended costing a fortune to the different companies that employed us. I did also witnessed they always got away with that without even some form of warning!!!

    Honestly, I don’t understand WHY poor decisions/management aren’t called on their BS by the Upper Management when it is done by women?

    Any thoughts about this?

    I just finished up a job where I had a female boss. It sucked. Made an already crappy job, crappier! She was really good looking with an amazing body which made the situation even worse. Perhaps outside the job she was nice but she definitely knew she was good looking and used it to her advantage. She would show up late every single day, start a project but pass it along to myself or whomever was in the area if we came close to her. We were only allotted 30 minutes for lunch and she would take up to 2-3 hours sometimes. Then she would have the nerve to chew you out if you were late yourself. In the end they ended up demoting her from a management position to a regular clerk type position but get this,  She told me before she left that she didn’t mind the demotion as they were going to continue to pay her the same amount of money. Jeez. I heard through the grapevine that the GM liked her because she got a boob job. Im serious. So many other worthy workers and she gets a bump due to her looks. It really is all about looks. That goes for both women and men. It really is a joke. All this disinfo we are sold about personality, charisma, self confidence is all bulls~~~. Its looks/appearance first! Period! All those other traits come second or tenth!

    Appearance does come first. It’s a s~~~ty reality but nonetheless a reality. It’s very important, especially for men these days because the company gatekeepers of hiring and firing (human resources) are overwhelmingly female. That means that they will naturally have a hiring bias towards attractive men and females who are less attractive than they are. Today’s hyperfeminized workplace means that if you want to succeed in a corporate environment, you have to place extra importance on how you look and dress, polish your social skills, and THEN worry about effectiveness and competency.

    Or you could do what I did and say “f~~~ it all” and start your own business. The hours are longer but more satisfying, and I have absolutely zero plans to ever hire a woman to work for me outside of short contract promotions.

    How did you go about starting your own business? And I do enjoy taking care of myself, wearing nice clothes, going to the gym and eating a clean diet of whole foods. I just feel like this is not enough for the modern woman. Maybe its just me, or the fact I live in the Northeast.

    Look up an article called Tears in the Toilet and Catfights over handbags. A women wanted to start And all women business and failed utterly. I think men should be allowed to have business without women and women have business without men.
    Barring that just have a few women without authority as tokens to avoid lawsuits.

    frankly my dear i don't give a damn

    Tears in the Toilet and Catfights over handbags.

    It’s a great read, hilarious!
    I saw something like this in the mid 90’s with a huge new supermarket complex. Almost all women. The decision must have been made on the same bulls~~~ garbage that the owner of this business made, with their delusional gynocentric Oprah logic.
    We knew two of the women working there. It was a constant emotional blood bath.
    One of the women virtually retired from the workforce permanently. We didn’t hear “I am woman, hear me roar” from her after that.

    Jon- long answer- at my last job, I had been saving up money to buy a boat. I wanted a nice one, not some beat-up leaky tub, so I had saved a pretty nice chunk over the course of about 18 months. Last memorial day I was out on the lake with some friends and their boats, and started thinking about what costs I could cut to get me to boat ownership faster. I lit a cigarette, and, well, there was the answer. I had tried to quit smoking lots of times before and used all of the normal methods- patches, gum, antidepressants, Chantix (that s~~~ makes people f~~~ing nuts, btw), cold turkey, hypnosis (which accidentally made me never want to drink alcohol again, but didn’t work for it’s actual intended purpose), so I thought I’d give it one last shot and try e-cigarettes, which are way cheaper than cigarettes. It worked. Then I started trying to think of even more ways to save boat money, so at this point my biggest non-essential expense was buying the juice that goes in the e-cigs. Having been one of those nerds who took extra math and science classes as electives in college, I already had the basic foundation for accounting and simple chemistry. So I started making my own e-juice and I would share some with other vapers and a few of the vape shop owners tried my flavors and wanted to start selling them. I started making small batches for local shops, but I couldn’t keep up with demand while I was working my regular day gig. So I used most of my boat money to buy more base materials, converted my spare storage room into a sterile lab with its own air filtration unit, resigned from the day gig, jumped through all the small business hoops like getting a tax ID, client contracts, stuff like that- legalzoom and sba.gov are really very good resources if you’re interested in starting a small business. So now I make premium e-juice for vape shops in middle and east TN, with plans to expand regionally within the next couple of months and nationally (hopefully) by the end of the year. Interstate commerce is a different animal, so I won’t pull the trigger on expansion until I’m fully educated on the kinds of complexities that go with that. Either way, I’m making more money than I did working at a university- I work more hours but I love it. The essential part of my success is that I didn’t need to take out any loans to get started. For most people this is unavoidable and the biggest reason why most small businesses fail within the first year.

    I’m still gonna get a boat. Just not quite yet. I want to be able to afford to hire two good men at a decent livable salary before I make a really big purchase for myself. I believe that it’s my obligation to use my success to provide an opportunity for more men to earn some of their own success in an environment that is exempt from and free of the stupid, petty bulls~~~ that hyperfeminism has injected into the workplace.

    Last 3 bosses have all been females. The first and current have great asses, but are totally entitled. Neither one of them had the stones to address you if they had a problem with you.

    The second one, though, was a total idiot. She had no experience and she didn’t want to do anything when she was at work but flirt with guys who came in. Basically got the job over qualified people because she was buddy-buddy with our marketing director, who also was notorious for doing absolutely nothing. I remember she threatened fire me because they would have employee meetings at 11 AM…dead center of my sleep cycle. Here’s the thing: The other employees who had school or second jobs could skip, but not me. I told her, “Wait a sec, you’re saying that I doesn’t have a legitimate reason for missing because I’m sleeping after being here ALL NIGHT but if I were working for someone else, that’d be ok? Does that make sense?”

    I’d love to tell you her incompetence got her fired, but to the contrary: She got promoted and has cost the company thousands of dollars with her mistakes. She’s friends with all the management and the manager himself is a blue pill that can’t seem to stand up to anyone. Good luck, man. It’s a crazy world out there.

    “Wait a sec, you’re saying that I doesn’t have a legitimate reason for missing because I’m sleeping after being here ALL NIGHT but if I were working for someone else, that’d be ok? Does that make sense?”

    @king: With such hypocrisy shown by her, you are working for a total c~~~. I’m sure she’s either doing some “favors” further up the feeding chain or else manipulating the blue pill guy hell maybe both. You really never know what you’re dealing with when women are in the picture. The old cliche that women are two faced has been around forever.

    From my prior experiences with female bosses, I’ll never accept another job that features a female boss. I think the NAWALT principle applies with female bosses too.

    If you think a female boss is bad, wait until you have one as landlady.

     

    I’ve been in and out of the apartment complex I live in for nearly 35 years due to moving around because of employment.  I’ve known just about every manager in this place since 1980.

     

    Around 20 years ago, the founder of the rental company that owns this place handed it over to his son, the latter determined to make more money than his father.  In 2000, the longest-serving manager (perhaps even the original) was booted out, along with many of the staff he worked with.  They were replaced by people the new owner brought in.

     

    That manager’s successor was a woman and she rapidly made herself disliked.  Rumour had it that she got the job after taking a “people skills” course.  I heard that she was a battleaxe and quarreled with tenants.  She was gone after 2 years.

     

    Her successor was a mangina but he at least got things done.  About 4 or 5 years ago, he was promoted in the company and another woman took over.

     

    She was a disaster.  She didn’t do much aside from sit in her office and drink coffee, if she even showed up at all.  (Sick kiddies are always a convenient excuse for taking time off, aren’t they?)  Nearly every major maintenance project while she was in charge became a drawn-out train-wreck, partly because she didn’t appear to have a background in building operations and services.  (For example, jobs that should have taken at most 2 weeks to complete often weren’t finished after 6 months.)  She started evicting older, long-time tenants by jacking up their rents well past the rate of inflation, so a lot of my neighbours moved out because of her.

     

    Her office staff was almost as bad.  Not surprisingly, it’s all women and many of them were clueless part-timers.  Some of them thought that they could be snarky with people as well because you-know-who would likely back them.

     

    A few weeks ago, we got the good news that she was gone.  My joy was short-lived when I found out who the new manager is and–you guessed it–it’s a woman and one who doesn’t seem to have any technical qualifications, either.  She’s already fired shots across our collective bows concerning what we can put on our balconies (she insists on a certain couple named Paddy O’Furniture and Barbie Kew) and she insists that we hang only curtains in our windows, so no displays of patriotic fervour by hanging the national flag in one’s window.

     

    Well, at least my rent went up only a smidgeon this  year.  I think the rental company got the message, though it helps that we have a lousy economy in this province thanks to the low price of oil.

    It’s no wonder why women don’t respect a man that goes and works all day for them: They seem to think it consists of sitting around and doing nothing. I noticed in my first apartment that the ladies in the office were both severely obese single moms working part time, but was lucky that both were really pleasant to my roommate and me, probably because we went out of our way to make sure our rent was early.

    The new manager is already showing that female ineptitude seems to be a requirement for the job.

     

    Already, we’ve had 2 fire alarms this afternoon, both of which were false.  There’s some electrical work being done in the parkade where I have my car, which has been going on for at least 2 weeks and there doesn’t seem to be any end to it.  (Of course, there was no memo to that effect sent out to the tenants.  As well, I can’t do any work on my car because there’s no power to the outlet by my parking stall.)  We’ve had spring weather for the past week or so and nothing’s been done to clean up the rubbish and dead leaves.

     

    I can’t say I’m impressed with her, but I should have known this would happen.  Her immediate boss is–wait for it!–a woman, and we know that they tend to close ranks and protect each other.

     

    I can’t wait to move…..

    Which is weird, because they all hate each other.

    I should have put it this way:  they protect each other if a man does anything they don’t like.  After all, the patriarchy is the great enemy of all that is good and right, isn’t it?  Inside the coven, however, it’s another story.
