So what about single lady bosses?

7 08 2007

If I had a dime for every complaint my friends make about their lady bosses, I’d be rich. There’s $5 bucks in the can right now and at this rate I’m confident I’ll be rich, woohoo! :)

So spinsters have a reputation in Asia it seems and here’s how my friends have been describing the old dragon in the office.

  • Mean
  • Calculative
  • Scheming
  • Never satisfied
  • Practice favoritism
  • Sourpuss
  • Unreasonable
  • Anti-male

And the reason why the boss behaves like this? Because she’s old (40+) and not married I’m told. Why unmarried? Because she’s such a jerk so who would want to marry her. And the connection between not married and irritating behavior? Well, she’d never had sex and so of course lar she’ll take out her frustrations on her younger male subordinates.

Hmmm… sounds like some powerful psychoanalysis if you ask me. No sex + mid 40’s = bash up your subordinate. I wonder if its true.

Any ideas?

Or it can just be the fact that she had to kiss so many behinds, spend so much personal time getting work done, sacrificing her sanity to put in 110% effort every time, endeavoring the pursuit of perfection and not to mention not resting on her laurels when those around her are saying that her work is good.

Personally, if I ever needed someone to run my business, I’d look for someone who fits that profile and I’ll pay her handsomely for it. Why? Because she’ll have near zero social interaction (read non business related) and money is all she’s getting from it.

Errmmm… what if she’s 40+, single and has a sex life? Would that make her a good single lady boss?

My MARRIED MALE BOSS is CALCULATIVE, UNREASONABLE, PETTY etc etc etc. Why no one blogs about them? Discriminators! Grrrr!

Hi all!

I am doing a research on bosses and their attitudes. I have a small team of 5 or 6 people working as subordinates to me. Out of these 4 are gals and 2 boys. One of the boys is pretty wiered and I dont like him at all. He is talking lies about me and not doing his work properly and ofcourse not to mention that the guy does not like me as well.

rest everybody is good to me and likes me too. You tell me if I am a bossist or not.
