What’s your point? There are jackass female bosses and jackass male bosses. Why do you hope OP’s new boss is male? [/quote]

Probably because there is a stereotype of women bosses that they overcompensate for a self-perceived view of inadequacy in the eyes of others (both women and men) that they're not up to the task.  No, this isn't ALWAYS true, but it does have a grain of truth to it.  I'm sure there are plenty of anecdotal examples - in my case I've had 3 women bosses, all of whom felt that they needed to act like a$$holes to get anything done.  Common courtesy was foreign to them, as one of them admitted to me (when she was tired and slightly inebriated - closest thing to an apology I ever received from her).

Currently, I work in an environment where my current female boss has promoted 2 people because they kiss her a$$ and agree with everything she's doing and planning to do.  I'm all for "disagree but commit," but she seems to have a problem with people expressing contrary opinions to hers.  I'm looking for a new job where I'll be appreciated, and I'm beyond caring that much about going above and beyond for a couple of thousand dollars more in a raise a year.  Not worth the sacrifice of my personal time to try and impress someone who is always right.[/quote]
