I would keep away from this woman

Some women I try to keep away, and not want to mess up with. For instance, the manager lady in my part - time, that is some kind of woman I would never try to date. She is arrogant, and competitive. Always nagging about small little things, and never let go of mistakes, even though people are trying to do their best. When she made her own mistakes, she simply laugh about it. She is always right, and she won't allow other people to contradict her. She is the most lazy employee there, but she holds high position, and no one can say a thing. When she tries to be friend to us, we just want to keep away from her. That is some kind of woman I hate the most. What is yours?

Definitely, I don't know if any man can keep up with that. Tell me if someone can take on a woman just like that, and I would admire his spirit.

I also hate the woman you mentioned above. I wonder if she is already married. I think companies chooses woman like for supervisory positions. I once took an exam and there are questions that you have to answer by your own understanding and beliefs. Like what are you going to do if you have a staff that is always late. There are five choices given and none of them fit my answer so I just chose one. What I noticed about the choices given are I can't see a heart in it. I did not found any answer saying I would talk to the employee and at least uplift her morale and encourage her to come on time. All were written are about penalties and the likes. I guess they really choose people who do not have the heart because that may affect their decision making in imposing rules and regulations. Apart from what you have mentioned, I hate woman with big mouth and who never let me finish my sentence.

Personally in this day and age their are a lot of jobs out there that continue tohave supervisors and people like this. It is sad since so many of them do not see what they are doing for their business even as it continues to dwindle down to nothing. Not only do the employees see this but the outside people as in customers etc do as well. Most of the time, I think these people are too in too themselves to care about others or may have underlying health problems they have not taken time to get help with as well.

She sounds exactly like the crazy lady I used to work for.... There is always the possibility that she has a work personality and a "regular" personality that isn't quite so abrasive but probably not. I'm also not a big supporter of being friendly with supervisors. I feel like it makes things complicated when something goes wrong. And it clouds people's judgement. Like you might think you can get away with something because the "boss" is your "friend" but then you get yelled at or disciplined harder because the boss doesn't want other employees to think they favored you because you are friends... make sense?

I think I know what you mean. She's the 'boss lady' there and she's making sure that you all know it. If you do not feel comfortable allowing your 'boss lady' into your private world, do not worry about it.., as you have that 'area of your life' under your control. Kingparker, remember that some people are like that (being bossy), and you will not be able to get away from those situations and people. Why worry about it or her behavior? Just do a good job at work, and move on with your life.

hmm.. same with me, that kind of woman sometimes frustating, but when they open their heart to me, it's more better than the other kind of woman. Woman like that must make friend with a lot of people, so her personality would change to be better.

I would also like to keep away from what you describe. It is very hard to deal with that kind of attitude.

Nobody wants to be with a proud, arrogant person. It is very bad of a person to think of himself highly. I don't like those kind. I also don't like those who speak bad things at my back. I hate hypocritical, slanderous people a lot just as I hate those who are proud and think like they are gods.

Although she is in a high position in your workplace, she is not a good supervisor or manager. Last week, I did a presentation about the basic supervisory training which gives me a lot of idea about being a good supervisor. With what you described she does not passed the qualities of being a good supervisor. There are etiquttes of beng such one. For example, you said that she always nag when something's wrong. From what I learned, you should not shout when talking to your subordinates. Furthermore, you should talk someone who commits mistake privately as a sign of respect and lead them to the correct way.

I do have to agree with you about this. I had a woman boss much like that years ago. She was the nastiest person I had ever met. And believe me, everyone in the place hated her. And I ha words with her. I am not one that will keep my mouth shut if I am being picked on or bothered. And what I hated the most about this woman was the way she put everyone down. But I have also worked with men bosses that ere the same way. So, it's not just women that become power hungry.

What I want to say is you can't say the woman you mentioned in your text is not so good or not so loveable. You don't like her is because she is not your type. If she is your type, you will love her even though she has many weak points.

I would totally agree with you, i also have someone like her in our office and like you she also hold a high position, next to the president and she is the most manipulative person i could ever know. I also stay away from her and i always watch what i tell her and share with her as she can also be the one to spread gossips here and pretend she is innocent. She can twist things too and much worse the President always believe her.

Yep, that's a smart thing to do, to keep away from that kind of woman. Soon she will find her equal and maybe she will change for the better. But definitely not worth your while, there are far more better women compared to her.

Oh! That's really annoying. Perhaps she's acting like that because she's holding a high position.:(

I used to work in a private company and I am assigned in the stock area. I had this area manager who always make my day miserable. I really hated her, we all did in the whole production team. On and off work, you can't talk to her. She don't even smile if we greet her. But we were surprised when she had a change of heart. Maybe she realized that people keep distance. She is a very hard working woman, we respect her for that. As time went on, she begin to talk to us, asks how we are. I am not working for that company at the present and I think she has retired as well. The good thing about this is that she has changed and I'm thankful for her for being my mentor.

I agree with you, stay away. but really if she is trying to be friendly she must not have any friends. that is her problem she has to boss to control to have her people around her,then she has power. There is a complete physoligcal event going on with her. I can see it but i cant tell you what to what to do about it.
