You mind sharing your experience.

Queenmark:
Well you work with some men and they can be nasty. When a guy is nasty and rude it is a bad experience.

For women it is nagging constant nagging that can give you serious headache.

Just pray for a nice boss.

Sapeletotheworl:


Why not pray to be a nice boss yourself. Amen

PrimadonnaO:
In my personal experience, male bosses.
The last female boss I had was everything wrong... couldn't deal. One of my colleagues even had a real mental breakdown.

The female bosses I've seen who were problematic seemed to have some things in common.
1. They were over-exerting. They seemed to feel the need to want to show that they were the boss, which is a joke of authority. When you have to scream "I'm the boss" then there's already a problem.

2. They felt easily affronted... unnecessary things seemed like disrespect to them.

3. Ironically, they were less tolerant and understanding. You would expect that a woman would be more empathetic to workers' plight, and issues they may be having in their personal lives, but the ones I've seen and heard about were the very opposite.

There are no absolutes, there will always be exceptions. These things are largely a matter of "what's most obtainable?"

Where did you work

Kokaine:
you can say the women in your family are like that but don't make such a blanket statement by saying women

Oyindamolah:
Who is easier to work with; a male boss or a female boss?

LauraClasikVibe:
Share your experience

Wisdomkings:

it all depends on the personality of the person gender have nothing to do with who is easier to work with.

ITbomb:
Women are not good with power
They are always insecure and want everyone to bow to them.
They go extra length to show that they are in charge

culf:



and you're happy about it? sometimes you set aside your right if it will make people happy and more comfortable around you. Its far better to be love than to be feared.

#Not judging you though

pocohantas:


Very true, that is why most head of organizations/units/businesses are men and the average Nigerian workplace is toxic as fck.

Even the leaders making Nigeria a living hell are men. Buhari that is giving bandits stipends is a man. SARS that shoots people are men. LASTMA nko? Or army officials.

But let’s forget about that and focus on women. It is women that can’t handle power.

What next o?

You'll see it as a funny analogy because you're not a female and haven't been put in that position before. I have and I tell you it's 100% true. Men are automatically given respect in an organizational setting. Women, on the otherhand, work for it.

My own was secondary school students. I hardly flog them cause I didn't see the need so I often tried to plead with them as per peacemaker I was. Perhaps sensing I was a woman and perceived weak, they flew off the lid and one day I just sparked. Punished them for close to one hour. Cries and pleas fell on deaf ears that day. I was even more angry when I finally released them. The next day, I was shocked by the reports the headteacher got from the students. Apparently, in my anger, I had called them names and promised worse punishments should they undermine my authority again. Till I left, I didn't punish them like that again.

This one is children ooh. Now imagine what would have happened had it been I was dealing with grown adults.

People undermine your authority more if you're a woman. Some misogynist are at the forefront of this. So unless you turn a 'dictator', you'd lose control of your ship before it even sails.

Darkmode64:

You deserve a beer. What do you take?

PrimadonnaO:

Those are bosses with too much feminnne qualities.minor things become so significant to them.

I can 100% relate. "Please, ma'am, you're yet to respond to the task I logged in on Asana." She'll ignore and go to the WhatsApp group to call you out... then ask that you repost the message sent on the WhatsApp group... then ask you to rephrase the question.

That day her problem was that the message should have been "Ma, a kind reminder to respond to the task logged on Asana." Or she makes an attempt at joking on the official platform after work hours, and you don't join the others to send fake LOL and unnecessary reactions, she'll bring it up at a strategy meeting that people ignore messages on the WhatsApp group when everyone's bonding. Everything felt so petty. Just be professional and let people do their work.

I had a friend who worked in a place where her pay stub reflected a deduction because her boss was coming into the office and she didn't go get her bag as she approached the reception. Likeee!!!
