[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve wondered this myself. My male managers have always been a lot more easygoing than my female ones who tend to be more unsympathetic and prone to micromanagement.  Of course, this could very well just be specific to my experience. [/quote]

Female managers are held to a higher standard and cannot afford to be easygoing. They only got the job by being more intense than the male competition, and virtually error free. [/quote]

I don’t agree with this.  I am a female and my DH last two bosses were both female.

Most recent boss makes tons of mistakes, chaotic, overspends, emails and calls on weekends, vacations, screams.  Called my DH back from vacations.

Also ping pongs and will say “yes” to something multiple times and the say “no” last minute and blame the person. This happens to everyone not a female or male thing. My DH gets things in writing but it still happens.  This boss randomly promotes people not based always on merit and it annoys people and HR since she goes around policies.

His former boss also female, level headed, steady, etc. She moved on and is doing excellent.  DH bumped into her recently at an event and she offered to be a reference and told DH what a great team member he was (they haven’t worked together in 3+ years).  She wanted to keep in touch and is a great leader.  She isn’t as “showy” as the above but is clearly an excellent, calm leader.  She knows what is happening there too.

Both are very well known, especially former boss.

But current boss imho didn’t deserve the promotion to that role but got it solely on optics.  We have worked all over the place and his most recent boss had been the worst by miles.  [/quote]
