But isn’t it preached that all female supervisors are the fairest, most level-headed, honest, and the other feel-good claptrap?

Depends on the woman. We had a general manager who was a woman who had been in the shop for 30 years. She was ruthless and downright cold hearted as a boss and I loved it.

Everybody else would scatter when they saw her coming but I would meet her half way and tell he what was going on. She respected me for it.

Nothing worse than a wishy washy boss.

I have had a few and most were OK and a couple good.

There was one that was ruthless, conniving, duplicitious, malicious, and those were her good points. She was also one ugly, big, and obese. A nose job would help some.

She also lived in liberal la-la land preaching living green, sharing the wealth, domineering her stupid kid and her worthless jerk husband, changing rules and procedures on me daily and weekly, chewing me for any and everything no matter what, and screwing me on any job I applied for anywhere else in the univ. system.

She even mandated that I say nothing to people at all since I apparently disturbed people while they “worked”. Never mind that people blared radios and lived on phones all day.

I was driven almost to nervous breakdown. She had all management in her pocket since she was the all powerful network admin.

The GM was orginally friendly towards me but near the end he would avoid me.

Near the end, I got this formal reprimand of stack of papers a couple inches thick of every transgression I apparently committed. She played nice but no doubt she enjoyed trying to ruin me.

I was just a guy who was nice to people, kept my opinions to myself, tried to fill out every little new form, tripe/quadruple check everything, made mistakes like the others, and coud do no right no matter what others would come into the office and say many complimentary things about me and my work.

This wacko piece of work is still entrenched and protected from what I hear.
