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.

+1

I’m new to my industry, switched career paths after staying home with kids for a few years, and have had positive experiences working with women in senior positions. I’ve had 2 female managers, one who I loved and who fought hard for me to climb the ladder quickly, and another who has been generally supportive and encouraging.

I always try to be extra supportive of women around me as we work in a male dominated field and I get how it feels to be the only woman in a meeting or feel out of place.

I hate to hear that this isn’t the case in other people’s workplaces.

This thread pops up once a month on here. Yawn.

Female leaders are held to a higher standard. Her male counterpart can survive and even thrive with far more screw ups and failures than she can.

Any proof? I lot of friends complain about female bosses who are buoyed by the DEI wave and companies very reluctant to call out their horrible management.

I work in the medical field and find the women in power where I work as pretty damn awesome. And female doctors will rule medicine (I hope) as they will rid the medical establishment of the 'good ol boys' network and bullying atmosphere that is so prevalent.

My male boss is an actual pushover who has no balls. I think he is coasting til retirement.

This thread is just a bunch of regurgitated stereotypes

The attrition rate with female doctors is pretty high within a few years out of residency. It would be more efficient to have those spots go to men who will actually stay in the jobs they are trained for.

In my office the women leaders are great, it's the mid-tier women who often have the knives out as they cut other women down who are advancing at a faster pace.

Why??

they have been trained since young women to use the p'ssy as currency for transactions to their benefit.

now they are interacting with other women doing the same thing and it decreases the value of the p'ssy. so they get angry and vindictive.

it is basic instinct.

fact of life.

I'm not sure if it's already been said, but I have a different take. Some women find it challenging to have a female boss because they can't play the woman like they could a man. This was my experience last fall with a young woman who was accustomed to using her looks/cutesy/giggly behavior to get her way with men. She immediately disliked working for me. Using sexuality to advance your agenda doesn't work on (straight) women, so it forces the employee to find other tactics like working hard, for example.

There is some truth to this in some cases. I have noticed that women who claim men are easier to work for tend to be cute flirty types or guys' girls, etc. I am a woman who is not flirty or super cute and I've never found that men are easier to work for. The opposite, actually, since I don't kiss up to the men by being cute or flirty. Rather I am straightforward and direct and express my opinions and don't massage their egos. Many men do not like that. Some women employ cute/flirty/ego massaging tactics in the workplace and don't like that those tactics don't work on women.

How do you know this? Did this yound woman tell you about this? How do you know the yound woman used sexuality to advance her agenda??

This just proved that women bosses are bad.

+ 1. I’ve had good and bad bosses of both genders. The only bosses who have ever screamed at me have been men. But I don’t assume my next male boss will do that. My current boss is a woman and excellent.

I have been on a couple interviews for positions I have turned down when I find out the boss is female. I don't know why this is.

+100. And if the manager is changed to a woman, I will find a new job.

And. Y'all think a boomer woman president would be a good idea
