[Tell It Right]

Of the few female coworkers I've had who were fellow programmers, they were good folks.

However, female project managers tended to have a chip on their shoulders waaaayyyyy more often than male project managers. Especially the women managers with masters or phD's: perhaps the extra years of indoctrination marked them into always being bitter. Not all of them, but there seemed to be a trend.

A lot of women get a masters or a PhD and their overall expectations in life increase. Many think they are brilliant at work and are insufferable, particularly if the degree is in a non-STEM field.

In dating they think it increases the SMV. It is like tattoos; a lot of single guys don’t want to deal with women with advanced degrees, particularly, those with an attitude. Some guys think it’s a plus but overall, it probably narrows their market and that really hacks them off.

During my adult working career of 33 years, I had 3 different female supervisors. Couldn’t have asked for better and was indeed lucky/fortunate!

I enjoyed working with female programmers. They’ve all been smart, dedicated workers without the ego baggage my fellow males had.

My daughter is a project manager; I don’t think I’d be able to work for her…
