After having in different jobs male and female bosses I think I prefer male bosses. In general they tend to be a bit more tolerant and they let you more do things in your own way. Women tend more to control you and pay more attention to little details, perhaps because in some enviroments with lots of people under them, women feel they have to make more pressure on employess to reinforce their authority. I also got this opinion from some female coleages working with me. What's your experience?

I prefer Male bosses for the very same reason. They are definitely tolerent more in comparison and ensures enough exposure is provided for the right talent.

I prefer the male bosses as well. The ones i've had in the past have been more tolerant of mistakes and not having control of a situation. The female bosses I've had have all had very controlling..scary personalities and were nitpicky about details so i was never completely comfortable in the work place.

My current boss sometimes has no clue whats going on. Its kind of amusing me and the other girl i work with basically run things.

Dear Overwings....I absolutely agree w/ you.
personally....I would hate to have me for a Boss. ( Fortunately that's not an issue ) I tend to be Competitive ( more then necessary )
I love working with Males in General.
Noone gets upset if you pass -wind! Or Burp or well...you get the Idea.
I'm pretty easy going, But I know my personality would Change Dramatically if I were put In Charge.
Not that I crack the whip, or anything.....I have no problem getting down in the trenches too, But.....I am a pusher. I will push the job....Untill all are exhausted, and I'm the Last One Standing!

more benifits with a female boss

So I see that the general opinion is that we are more for male bosses. I have now a female one, but the place is too big to keep an eye on everything I do so can go my own way as long as there are no problems.

I agree with your opinion, women always careful and like pay more attention to little details whatever she is boss or worker. For boss, I prefer male boss, but for assistant, I would like to use female, female can do details things better than male. LOL

its been some years now that i was in paid employment last,but i remember working under a female administrator then and she was very rude has no respect for anyone,i handled hercright because i never gave her any reason to see me as lazy but in all i prefer to work with a man as boss women can transfer their emotions to those under them at work when under pressure,men are more tolerant and can control their moods better

Most of my experiences with female managers have being bad. The men seems easier to get along with. Woman tend to be more controlling. They seem to be more picky.
