Though I am still an unemployed graduate but I encountered something similar. A friend of mine connected me with the MD of a company. In approx 3 days I was invited for an interview with the company. On the interview day, I was asked by the receptionist to enter the GM office. The GM happened to be a lady. Initially, I tot i will be interviewed by the MD (male). The GM nearly destroyed me that day. I have not been addressed like that before. She insulted me, boasted and she finally said 'dash out of the company'. I felt really bad. Few days after the interview, my friend further intervened. the MD called me to see him in his office. I explained to him what happened with the GM . He said I shud not worry that I will get the job. Honestly, I am still contemplating the job. The MD (superior) seems very nice. But I don't know if I can cope with the GM. |

Ugosample:I'm serious here. When a boss is unnecessarily angry at work, check it well_ he/she probably came with the anger from home. My hubby's ex-boss was always angry. she had 3kids, wakes up every morning to prepare them for school alone, aside other duties she had to do. Her husband was in another city, she later confided in him that her husband was cheating and redeployed to his base. If she didn't do that, she would have remained there_ attacking everyone and they would never know she had deeper issues. |

chuks34: bamikole07: Sexytemi: chicwoman: The reason most women-bosses are bad is because of the 'inferiority' they feel in their matrimonial homes. Their husband is the 'head' and they have got to listen to his last order, this make them feel inferior. So, when they get to the workplace they own, they want their voices heard, so that's why they usually behave badly. I am saying this from my experience of working with a female boss. She always yells, shouts at her workers. I didn't understand her, not until I witnessed the mouth-lashing she recieves everymorning from her husband. |

PaperLace: You tell me.
Women become even more cuter when they feign ignorance about the effects of their beauty on men. It's the age-long, super-sexy battering ram in the universal feminine arsenal. Your disingenuity is red-hot like lava!
Inside where? My, oh my!, if only you could steal a curious peek into the caverns of his dissolute mind for one-quarter of a nanosecond. I'm cocksure you'd discover that he's undressed you over and over in his little head. Cripes! Ever imagined what life would be like without the ability of imagination? Thank goodness for man's ability to imagine. Imagination, I believe, is the only outlet that furnishes men/women with that which they cannot achieve or acquire in reality. Trust me, you don't want to know how many times I've had sex with Cameron Diaz... in my head!
I think we can both agree that all most men [primarily] care about is women and money (or the equivalent of money). Likewise women; all most live for is the opposite sex and money (or the equivalent of money). It's natural! I'm sure you'd also agree women have more wahala than men. The ridiculous and indiscriminate amount of money and time you lots expend on personal upkeep alone – for the benefit of men I presume – sets off the alarm bells in the halls of credulity. |

PaperLace: Dear, grab a cotton bud and exorcise the brown wax demons from your ears, so that on Monday morning nothing he says would sound "somehow" to them. Do that and report back to me ASAP! On a more serious note, do you think married women – in their late 30s and early 40s – find it flattering when a complete stranger eyes them lustfully in a way that says "I would love to screw you had I the chance"? I've read somewhere that some [married] women find such lechery attractive and pleasing because, according to them, it assures them of their sexual desirability. What say you about that? |

Ugosample: Everyone knows women are their own worst enemies. The don't have any problem taking orders from a man but God forbid they have to from a a fellow woman. I've seen someone resign because a woman, who used to be her friend, became her boss. She felt it was 'insulting'. But when oga was a man, she had no problem at all. It's brutal being a woman and a boss. Everything you do is misunderstood. They say it's because you are single, or childless, or just a woman. If the exact same thing is done by a man, nobody would even raise an eyebrow . |
Re: Share Your Experience With Female Bosses. by Jman06(m): 4:18pm On Mar 19, 2017 |
I believe the female bosses act the way they do because of the old fashioned tradition which kept the womenfolk under the men. In this modern era where things are changing for the better, some women consider it an exceptional feat when they occupy leadership position, and so they tend to go overboard in dealing with their subbordinates. I believe this will change with time. Personally though, i prefer a female boss to a male one. It's weird but i feel somehow being subservient to a fellow man. |

DarkRebel101:I can't really speak for women in their 30s/40s but I believe most married people find it flattering knowing they still have 'market value'. My husband for example wore a short sleeved clothe to work one Saturday, for someone who is always in suit, babes never knew he had muscles. They were pressing and admiring his muscle, he was feeling like Johny Bravo_ since that day,naso im dey run wear short sleeve every Saturday. On my part, I've had men give me that if you lose guard, amma flip you over look. Some even come out straight to say it. Even women tell me too. I can't say I find it flattering like flattering, but in a society where women have been made to believe that once they marry and have kids, they lose every (sex)appeal... I feel good. I feel good to know my aerobics and sit up isn't wasted, it feels good to know I defied stereotype. Sounds vain, but we all have our vain side(s). At a point...you get tired of those advances and looks. I done tire sef, I just wanna move about unnoticed these days. Maybe you should create a topic on it, would be an interesting read. 1 Like |

I had a female superior that was wicked just because she could be. If you look good and someone commends you for looking good in front of her, you are in soup that day. She would make life hell for you. She gathers things she can use to implicate her colleagues and get them fired. She prides herself in the fact that people have been fired because of her. She is very difficult to work with...creates bottlenecks and blocks to make the job difficult. Shes not empathetic towards anyone. When she's happy and excited, it means something bad is about to happen. She has been rejected in many branches because of her wickedness and ability to stifle processes. Even customers run from her. This is just scratching the surface. She is mean!! 5 Likes |

A company near ours years back, had a female Boss (MD) that was so, so harsh and annoying to all her workers. A "big" madam that dont even know how to drive. One day her personal Driver was taking her from Lagos to Ibadan. She got him so angry that he stopped the car and left her in the middle of nowhere along the forest area of Lagos-Ibadan expressway. He simply crossed the road to the other side and came back to Lagos. He didnt come back again to the office, it's like he planned it before time. When she came back, she was calm for about two weeks before the spirit entered her again. 5 Likes 1 Share |

From your write up it sounded like your friend (but we know say na you sha ) na new wig. But it's too bad. This is rampant in legal profession. I remember as a new wig I once bought electric bulb and socket for my principal, when the secretary obviously said know to his face, that she was tired (never seen that kain thing before) though I sensed something was going down between them as some principals are like that. Still a bit bearable cos I was almost a lad to a man of about 6o years. However, the one that made me resign was that of a female boss oh. Almost same age but attended one of the ivy league schools in the US. I was already a full grown man and married this time. She was a single parent with one male child (husband deserted her I heard). On abroad trips I would escort her to movies and clubs. At the office in Naija, I would escort her to the outside the office building to go and smoke (I do not smoke). All these at her demand and you dare not say no . Trips within Naija also she would summon me to the hotel bar and start asking some funny questions while clutching her beer bottle . My wife would call she would want to know what she 's calling for. At meeting, "do you always shake your legs while sitting down?, I don't think I like that ". We board a taxi, "you are not a gentleman, you actually enter the car before I do" , hmm sorry ma. "pls drop that your ma things, I told you I don't like it". I started opening car doors for her before I will enter and sit down. I was a full man with kids, prostgrsd degrees. I was already dusting my cv at a point. The pay was good, exposure travel round the world, I must confess but I got fed up.... The last straw was when she insulted me before a chartered taxi driver who couldn't hold his laughter. I was damn humiliated. I told her off including threatening to beat her up (brief woman). I came back to the office and prepared my resignation and waited. I refused to seek my wife's consent who was always like, be patient till you get somewhere else. She summoned me and started asking stupid questions and ended up with... Management has decided bla bla.. I brought out the resignation from my file I was holding before she finished her speech. I can't finish telling my ordeals in the hands of that woman. spongebob0006: 2 Likes |

PaperLace: I always believe this until I had my own experience during INDUSTRIAL TRAINING and was posted to different sections and branches. Its not even about preconditioning, these women obviously hated other women working under them. using tools like thinly veiled insults and open threats. Even as a guy, I had to work on egg shells with meaningless complains, demeaning comments disguised as criticisms, and let me tell you, I have learnt since childhood that ego takes you nowhere. So I worked as hard as I could and resumed so early that the manager had to give me the key to my office. its a big and popular oil coy. nobody takes key home. I also had some male bosses who surprisingly didn't have this problem. In fact, from what I saw, HR ensured that there were no cases of sexual abuse and things like staring at women was unheard of(there were mostly Hausa men though). I don't know what happened in the background.(the way the female I.T students were dressing, you just know they were looking for something. It got so bad that HR had to call a symposium and issue a dress code IN A FORMAL ENVIRONMENT) I agree with the point that their home life contributes a lot as their is a lot of domestic violence in Nigerian marriages. Not all female bosses are bad. But all these stories being reported, surely it can't be a coincidence or a case of gender discrimination even from fellow women. 1 Like |

I hope you won't come to argue it, with "all the stories being reported, surely it can't be a coincidence or a case of gender discrimination". |
Re: Share Your Experience With Female Bosses. by Greatbeard(m): 8:06pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
