Male Or Female Boss; Which Are You More Comfortable With.
« on: July 21, 2007, 05:07 AM »

Some guys claim ladies are too strict and bossy to be an ideal boss while some ladies says left  to sexual harrasment alone, they will have nothing to do with a male boss; different strokes for different folks.
which do you prefer and why?.

i prefer a male boss because its part of male so they take as a normal thing. but females consider it a rear opportunity and they will want to enforce respect and fear on their subs.

I prefer a male so long as he's not a womanizer who expects his female surbodinates to become his lover.

It all depends on the personality that you have and how your attitude at work affects your boss.I have worked with loads  of people who are bosses both male and female and have found that though you might find some weired others are fun to work with.You must first have a clean and clear attitude and personality at work which is acceptable to your position in relation to people you work with and finally your boss.
Its a matter of not just working to get paid but relating to keep the job.
Generally speaking-the relationship must be based on connecting.
some  lady bosses prefer ladies who they can associate with and learn from-not office work but on social information bases.If your well experienced in what you do-any boss will want to keep you,if not for any other reason.
For guys its a matter of being friendly and willing to learn even though you are a craftman in what you do.Bring in an aspect  of  socialism which you know is good but is lacking in your place of work or just mind your business until you get to know the kind of people you work with.The words will surely get round to your boss that you are cool-or this guy is a wreck-how did he get here;man once you are on that ground-you are a going to-
do not look your female boss any where but her eyes for gad sake;  work as if the burden of Nigeria lies on your back and you can't get home until that is sorted,then  leave the rest for time.If she likes you ,you will be the first person to know.because she will tell you-thats how a woman is-

It depends on how both parties relate in terms of " ethics, norms and values".
I do prefer a female boss, because at present i have a male boss who is more like  a Cancerous Infection and i can't figure out how to get him off my case? He, [BOSS] has been a torment for the past few years, hiding under the cover of superiority, you know "bureaucracy" while he is hitting on me. I just can't take it any more. how do i get [me] off his vile words,text messages & phyiscal manhandling? I call this sexual harrassment. Just because he gets what he wants when it comes to being under the skirt,wrapper doesn't mean he can have access to all kind of skirts,wrapper "Married or Mot Married". lets say am the 'off limits' type especially in a work environment. There is a difference when you have a social network in the office and outside the office called "human relations". Everyone needs RESPECT. 
So with my present predicament, A female Boss certainly 'with an understanding heart' not the "Jezeebel type" is prefarable even though they too have some flaws.

I have worked directly with 6 male bosses and years after I've worked with even the last one we still exchange text messages on our birthdays(I mean the 6 of them)  and two were present at my wedding(In short, a lot depends on you, I mean your self esteem, quality of job and general dispostion). 

I used to think female bosses were just bad until I worked with 2 fantastic ones respectively. We were just like sisters and they are so fond of me. However, there was this one 'bad egg' that hated me with passion. Not only me, she was like that to all her  female subs. Oh, she was a pain in the neck of all  Tongue. So much superiority air as if someone was contesting with her for her office.

May I say it's an individual rather than gender thing. Perhaps it has to do with their own experience with their own bosses too. They might want u to pass through the learning experience they also went through. 

But let's remove womanising, I'll gladly work with a male boss, any day.
