[quote=Anonymous]I’m a guy and gave two female bosses, one great, one terrible (so I left the agency). I agree with a lot of the other comments. The bad boss was a micromanager, not just in terms of work product and timing, but also on strategic issues. Her favorites were those she could “save” from themselves, especially in their personal lives (Baby out of wedlock? Here’s a promotion). Everything was viewed through the lens of how it would make her look, with much less interest on my own growth.

In contrast, I think that a lot of male managers take for granted that they will get promoted and that everything will work out, so they’re pretty chill about most things. They don’t take everything personally, and generally want you to do well. They don’t see their subordinates as competing with them or potentially undermining them. Some women bosses act the opposite. The focus is on them and ensuring hyhst their subordinates are in-line and running a tight ship. That may sound good, but the experience is stifling. [/quote]
