Working with a female boss

After being off for almost a month, here I am back at it again on read.cash. I have been off due to issues with my device which thankfully is now resolved.

This article as specified on the topic is based on how to handle a female boss.

It is important to note, first, that females generally do want to be bossy and have men under control. So being a female boss having men under as workers is already a dream come true for most women. Hence, the female boss will be eager to exercise the rare authority to control a man or men. It is natural for a female boss to want to be more bossy than a male boss.

I obviously do prefer working under a male boss than a female, but I'm obliged to work under the female as long as it is professional and money is involved, lol. It is obviously almost unavoidable not to work under a female boss at one point or another of a man's life, hence the need to know how to cope and manage with a female boss.

It is important to note that two kinds of female boss exist : The kind ones which are rare and The annoying and frustrating ones. As it is easier to cope with the kind ones, this article will focus on the frustrating ones.

• KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT

What is right and what is wrong must be crystal clear to you. Trust me, You cannot work based on momentary orders of a female boss. You must be sure of what you are doing. Women can say Yes today and No tomorrow based on how they feel at the moment and there is not an exception at professional work.

Let me share a personal experience with you. I was ordered to give discounts to customers based on my discretion and not to call her for any discount. However, I was soon "queried" for giving a "reasonable" discount to a particular customer. Hence another "order" was given not to give the discount without her consent. I did just the second way, which eventually I was labelled as a "disturber" and should do things with my discretion. I found out this cycle continued that way for sometime which afterwards I decided what margin of discount I give to customers and notwithstanding the amount of subsequent queries will not for ones change my decision. This only shows the unstable nature of female bosses.

• ALWAYS DO WHAT IS RIGHT NO MATTER WHAT

Women naturally tend to be easily swayed by their emotions. most women live by emotions in contrast to most men who live by decision. So, by a momentary emotion, the female boss may want you to do what is not right to prove a point or show off. You on your own part must stand your ground and do what is right no matter what. This is because when the emotions have cooled off, you will be blamed for the wrongs you did out of their emotional orders. Funny? Yeah I'm used to being blamed for carrying out orders against the company rules. Stand your ground always!

• DON'T BE EMOTIONAL

You cannot work with a female boss with emotions simply for the reason that the boss herself is one with emotion. You have to be decisive and stable in your decisions. In most time, what feel like leads to wrong decisions.

Do not get emotional when you are being blamed wrongly or when you are being praised or given gift. Do not allow the praises or blaming get into your head. Of course you may adjust some things, but let it not be by emotions. Do things because you want to do it and it is right not because you feel like doing so.

• DON'T GIVE UP COMPROMISE YOUR AGREEMENTS

It is easier for a woman than a man to compromise. This is why men are generally referred to as 'Hard-hearted'. You must also keep to agreements and don't agree on what you cannot take in the first place. Resumption time is 8am? Resume by 8! Closing time by 6? Close by 6, not by 7. If you close later than required for once, you will be expected to do so some other times.

• DON'T DO EYE-SERVICE

Eye-service is when you intentionally work harder or faster than 'normal' so that you can be commended by the watching boss. Bosses generally dislikes workers who do eye-service. This is because they are left with the impression that the worker is doing otherwise while not around - which is rightly so. Hence, be consistent with your work rate whether or not your boss is around.

• EXERCISE PATIENCE

Female bosses may lose temper easily some times over minor things which makes them annoying. You should be patient and quiet when she is angry. Do not consider or think over whatever she says at that moment because she does not mean what is said. They are all born out of emotions. This is a life principle which can be applied to all women, female co-workers, wife, girlfriend, mother, sister and so on.

In same way, she may not mean what is said when you make her happy, hence resist to be moved. It is all out of emotions.

I believe if you are able to apply the principles highlighted in this article, your female boss is going to respect and trust you more. You will eventually win her heart over.

Thanks for reading through. have a nice time.
