I've had female boss and female-like-male-bosses all my life. They
are always difficult people to work with and use emotional
blackmail, cold wars and whatever underhand means to get their way.
Mostly, they are selfish bosses and had been very happy to step on
you to get to the top, some even slept around to get somewhere
"better". But being females, they are superb at "presenting" their
best face to the boss to avoid responsibilities for their failed
projects and taking credit for everything they didn't do. The ones
I had didn't have my interest or the team's interest at heart, in
fact, my ex-female-bosses signed themselves on course after courses
to develop themselves. When I asked to for one course per year, i
was rejected because the female boss spent the training budget on
herself. I always find females very anal and small minded. these
female bosses easily get jealous and throw their tempers around but
people put up with them because no one want to cross them. I have
learnt that female bosses usually use company time to schedule lots
of personal things and resolve personal conflicts and issues.
Females just have so much venom for females.
Perhaps its a Singapore thing once again. People facing such kinds
of lousy managers do not step up and tell the fellow off. Employees
always only care about themselves, complain, and back-stab others.
I had a HK colleage who called our big boss. Wished him happy
birthday and proceed to ask for a raise for everyone - even if its
just a joke. Its nice ... I would never see a Singaporean do
that.
