I'm a woman, so what I meant was that no one in the workplace treats women worse than OTHER women do...especially if the person in charge IS a woman and sets a bad example.

THEN it's a lynch mob every single day... no subordinate is going to be spared!!

Perhaps you misunderstand my use of the term “leadership” in this context. I meant that the woman should be the homemaker, which makes her the CEO of all domestic activity.

My husband is in charge, but I run the household.

“Working for a woman is a real nightmare!”

I agree with you, and I’m a woman. I’ve had two excellent women bosses, but most of them made life for everyone a living hell.

Funny that.

By and large I absolutely loved the women who worked for me and was devoted to advancing them as warranted, but I was able to pick my team which consisted of good, level-headed women who typically worked hard. Probably like you, in fact.

My father was his career. He retired at 55. He had plans for a second career but my mom said she had enough running all over the earth with him. I grew to an adult with no real friends since we moved every 2-3 years. I refused to do that. Funny because I have a better relationship with my father than I do with several of my kids. Them the odds.

Women who dislike other women are easier to work for and with. Women who feed off of drama suck to work for or with.

I think of myself as ‘good, level headed’, responsible, educated, experienced, disciplined and a respectful subordinate,

It didn't matter one bit. The women I worked for were absolutely hateful and malicious.

There were trip wires all over the place and the entire staff mimicked the worst behavior of the ‘boss’.

Our office had no males and it was incessant, pointless, wall-to-wall drama!

At one point we had a male in the office and these women treated him SO badly that they drove him out.

I said what I said.

And I understand your reply.
