A new UK survey has disclosed that working under a female boss is a nightmare for many subordinates. In a study involving 3,000 men and women, three-quarters of men agreed that they prefer a male boss than a female one. A quarter of women made accusations of female bosses of bringing their personal lives into the office and backstabbing.
A third of those polled remarked that women with power are ‘loose cannons’ who are often threatened by colleagues.
From in.news.yahoo.com:
“No one is suggesting that women aren’t intelligent enough to be in senior positions, far from it, but perhaps-some need to be more approachable and less competitive.
“People want to go to work knowing they will be given a fair chance and are supported 100 per cent by those they work with and for,” Brown added.
Fifteen per cent of the workers questioned said female bosses were too ’sharp tongued’ and a third said it was obvious when it was their ‘time of the month’ because of mood swings.
Other negative assessments included them being ‘too cliquey’, too competitive and spending too long worrying about their appearance.
Forty per cent said men were more able to distance themselves from politics and bitching and 14 per cent said they found them more reasonable than women.
The Daily Mail quoted David Brown, of online recruitment firm www.UKJobs.net, which commissioned the research, as saying that incredibly both men and women are in total agreement that men make better bosses.
