You prefer female or male boss?

I think it depends on the boss's personality, regardless if it's a male or a female. I have had 2 male bosses and 2 female bosses when I was employed for almost 12 years. The two are easy to deal with, the other 2 were not (1 male & 1 female). Now I'm just working freelance, I prefer not to have a boss.

Count me in as one rather having a man for a boss. I feel that women in management tend to be, pardon the word, anal about things. They always feel like they have to prove that they got their position because they are good and because of hardwork. I think this is why they become emotional. Sadly, this is the kind of society that we are in. I'm sure this is not true for all women in management. This is just my humble opinion.

I had a very bad experience with female boss. She's not the real boss, but my direct senior in my department. I was the newbie in that office, was a bad luck having her as my senior. Got a 'like and dislike' experience with her, everything I did was always wrong to her. I am so happy that my coming new boss is a man.

I really do not mind who the boss is. May it be male or female for as long as they are competent and they listen to reasons. I think female bosses ten to be insecure considering that most of them think that they have to prove always that they can do what men can do. But of course not all of them. There are those that are really great. Well, I have worked with both and have not encountered any problem so far.

I'm not bothered either way. I've worked with both and never had any great problem. I just talk to them the way I would to anyone else. If they offer constructive criticism or advice I take it on board and, if I think they're being harsh, I say so.

I prefer female boss. Of course I'm female and I know she can deal with us. She is also a good listener. Oh well, I am talking to my recent boss here who happens to be one of my professors when I was in college!
