WHAT'S THAT?
I worked for women for more than 15 years and NEVER got fair, respectful or honest treatment.. .Working for a woman is a real nightmare!
When I finally had a male boss, I got more respect and consideration than any woman ever showed me
Asking a woman to respect a man is like asking a dog to become a vegetarian.
Natural reaction I suppose to seeing men doing whatever they think will get them the The Promised Land. Hard to respect applicants, supplicants, beggars, or demanders.
For all of the whining about equality, they have held the whip hand on us since time began. And it still wasn’t enough for ‘em.
I am so very thankful that the days of working 60+ hours per week are over. Yes, my spouse and family suffered, and I am grateful they allowed my indulgence of career, but in the end, not sure the payout was sufficient.
Similarly, following my stint in the military I began my career as women started to enter the workforce in droves. I found it consistently more difficult to navigate through female bosses who often, but not always, were promoted because of their gender. Wow. Male bosses? Never a problem, but most women simply operate on a whole different wavelength. Much, much more prone to misinterpreting the simplest of communication. In those circumstances I quickly learned to speak/collaborate as little as possible and as carefully as possible. Avoidance was usually the best option when possible. It was best when I became the “supreme commander” as those issues then largely resolved itself. Nonetheless, I always tried to treat everyone with care and respect.

“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.
