Bitches and Jerks

We recently had a re-organization and it affects the function of our heads. So we were asking ourselves…Who is the better boss….male (and I mean a real guy! no in between here guys) or female? Sensible, respectful, and understanding: These are the traits associates say we look for and admire in a boss. So does it matter whether the boss is male or female? Don’t get me wrong here, nowadays both men and women have a fighting chance. Sometimes men can be  too tough and straight and women can be too kind and thoughtful.

If you are going to ask me, I will prefer real men for sure, I have had past jobs in my lifetime that I had female, male and not so male bosses. And to be honest women are almost the worse. Women (and those pretenting to be male) bosses are too controlling in my opinion, they would like to have your ideas but in the end they always want things to do in their way. Also with women you gotta be more careful if you want to joke around and talk while working. Men are much more relaxed, obviously they want results and they check that you are doing things well. But for the most part men bosses are much less controlling, they let you do things your own way,they are easy to joke around too and the workiing environment  seems to be more relaxed, a male boss will must likely let you talk while at work. etc. Women on the other hand sometimes be irrational and persistent because they are afraid that their authority will  be questioned if they don’t stand to their initial point of view. It goes with in between gender too.

But at the end, it doesn’t depend on your gender it depends on your leadership skills, work ethic, and ability to deal with changes.  Bottom line: If you want to be the best boss, or work for the best, put stereotypes aside and start aggressively cultivating your own work character. But really, some work personality traits are worse with women and those like to be women
