Have you or would you work for a female boss?

Yeah, she was a bossy c~~~. She constantly tried to make my job more difficult. I left after 3 months of that s~~~-show.

Self-improvement is my religion. Sovereignty is my god.

At this point, I would never work for a female boss, for two reasons.

1.) The principle of it. Men are better than women at everything, and if a female is above you as your direct supervisor, then the corporate hierarchy is out of balance. You should be above her. You’re more logical, more accountable, more intelligent, better looking, and physically much stronger. Why would you knowingly be subordinate to someone who is clearly inferior at everything and is only their because of the Peter Principal?

2.) She will f~~~ up your career, your life, your financial situation, and your mind. She will do it with a smile and you’ll think she’d just great, and when it comes it comes, and then she’ll be your next reference. Women have ZERO loyalty to anyone, and will drop you like a hot potato.

You’re choice though, bro.

Do ^this^ and you will be fine.

Don’t know. Women hate being ignored more than anything.

Right now, my immediate boss is female and a few years younger than me and to be honest, she is absolutely brilliant.

Just wait.

Women base EVERYTHING on politics and “likes”.

. So true today. I had late boomer generation female managers earlier in my career. All but one were pretty competent because the work required them to be.

The one that was a waste of space was so incompetent that her female manager had no choice but reassign her after she openly asked me for a decision on a matter that was clearly at her pay grade, but above mine. I knew the right answer, but it wasn’t my decision to make.

Women managers today should be avoid any way you can. I have one now and it’s a part time job managing her. My old manager was male and awesome.

There’s a reason the word manage begins with “Man”. There is no womanage. Learn from our language.

I have a female supervisior, she does her job well, and have no problems with her, known her 10 years. But she is probably an exception, most women I know prefer a male supervisior, most of them know there catty nature.

Go through with the interview, if you don’t like her no harm done.

The initial interview is just a phone interview. I guess there is no harm done. From my experience in interviewing, hiring managers can get pretty nosy, asking questions like your current salary, details about current job and relationships with co-workers, etc. What’s a good way to dodge the salary question? It’s been asked at just about every interview I’ve been on and they like to use that number against you, especially when you’re underpaid.

Is she the “hiring manager”? Or the actual manager you would work with daily. Many times there’s a difference and I would want to know that first.

Good question. I’m not sure.

Keymaster wrote:

I am the same way and that’s a concern that I have. At my current gig, it’s rare that anyone ask anything personal. It’s too busy and the people don’t really care anyway.

Keymaster wrote:

I would also be direct, and want to know if she rewards this. Meaning, I have no problem telling “the (male) boss” what I really think, know and can prove. Male bosses generally appreciate & reward this.

Female bosses are different that way.

Tell a male boss “that’s a terrible idea, and here’s why . . .” and he’ll want you to explain while listening intently. Tell a female boss the same, and in her head, she makes it all about her vagina.

She’ll also lecture you on how there’s a better way to say it – even when it’s truly “a terrible idea” – but I don’t have time for that sugar-coating politically-correct crap.

I’m past the point where I care about how a company runs its business so I don’t bother saying anything if an idea is stupid. All it does is offend them anyway. If they want to be stupid then they can be stupid. As long as my checks cash, I don’t really care.

I’m a terrible politician and don’t know how to bulls~~~ people. It’s a weakness. I CAN do it, I’m just s~~~ at it and not very interested in it. The work can speak for itself. Prefer it that way.

When working for a woman, you need to be a politician. Social dynamics, Social manipulation. All that s~~~ goes on and multiplies when there are many women at work. It’s totally different when there aren’t any.

I prefer to focus on work and don’t care about playing those games.

Same here. 40 people worked there. 8 men did all the work – ALL of it- while the women clunked around in heels, thought it was a fashion show and gossiped……

What’s the deal with heels? I must say I cringe when walking down the hall and I hear heels approaching. It’s almost always someone in management or HR. It’s like they’re saying: “I want attention. You better acknowledge me and kiss my ass because I’m important.”

Then the female CEO called me on a Friday night at 11PM demanding something for Monday. I told her flatly she “had all week to approach me at work. Why call me at home at 11PM on a Friday? Bad planning? It’s unacceptable. Unless we’re saving lives IT CAN WAIT until Monday.”.

Ridiculous!

I judge the person by merit but in general most bosses who are diversity hires don’t take pressure well are emotional and all over the map regarding mood.

And can be very insecure and possibly see you as a threat if you have any talent.

Perhaps I am fortunate to be working with TWO women who are quite sound – I actually look forward to going into work. We all have same taste in music (rock / metal) and all quite high energy. This engineering department is very heavy on the male side of things but despite directly working with them in the team, things are good.

I started a topic about being a Chameleon at work here : /forums/topic/chameleon-at-work/

Perhaps there are some ideas that will help you with your decision?

Lots of good ideas in that thread, although I wouldn’t say you’re being a chameleon if you openly talk about avoiding relationships with women. You’re making yourself stand out. Same with suggesting they don’t get too close. That can make someone want to push your boundaries depending on their personality. Glad it works in your workplace but it might not work in others.

Go to work in Zen mode, focus on business and make your work so crisp they can’t poke holes in it. That’ll make all the personal bs they can come up with fall right on its face.

Yep. You have to be almost perfect.

Most of my bosses in “professional” jobs have been male and are in this category as well. In my current group, the smartest people are on the bottom of the totem pole. The dumbest people are at the top the totem pole.

Why do we as a society tolerate such dysfunction and bad management? There are SO MANY stories posted here and elsewhere about people that are in management positions who have no business being in those positions.

You can’t. You can lie, but then you may price yourself out of the market, or they will think, “if you were making that much, why did you leave?”, etc…

If you want a better salary, get the job, and then add value to the corporation and play the corporate games. You can’t avoid it.

Yes, and she was a stupid c~~~ and one of the best days of working where I work is when she quit.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.
