Boss

Unsure what u guys think but I'll prefer a male boss anytime over a female one. Not that we can whine to get our way but male bosses tend to be more objective compared to female bosses who tend to be more emotional.

My dept is 90% female. My boss is a female. My boss's boss is also a female. On many occasions, I've seen them flaring up over little things simply because they r in a bad mood. Black face, slam desk, talk loudly n rudely. Even amongst my peers, we have a few female TLs n 2 male TLs. The guys r those who remain cool, no matter what. The females r usually the ones who crack under pressure.

Why this topic is because my boss is trying to rid one of my staff (let's call him T) n because she's unable to manage the situation, she takes it out upon me. The latest incident happened this morning.

We have this routine one-on-one monthly coaching n review thing. Since the mgmt wants to rid T (long story spanning 10 years), there's this ultimatum given to him. But as he was not performing up to mark, he's been asked to leave. Why I'm involved is because my boss dumped T on me. Even though T n I had our differences, we managed to sort our differences n found this respect for each other.

Now problem is I get stuck in between for the top wants to rid him n he, of course, has no intention to leave. N I'm tasked with the holy duty of tracking his performance n documenting it, then putting onto paper n going through with him month after month. He will then revert with his comments n we'll close the case for the month.

Now problem today is he had reached the end of the timeline set for his ultimatum n in the last session, he was told not so indirectly by my boss to leave. So today he put all these into writing against my boss n when I showed it to her, I got hammered. #€<%*;$

Seriously, I'm not siding any party, trying to remain as neutral as possible. But there's no need to take it out on me when u cant manage that situation. Though I'm a female myself, I always try to be as level headed as possible like my male peers. N I think I'm quite successful at that for ppl always comment I appear unfazed no matter what happens.

Female bosses. Take a chill pill la. Sigh. Ridonkeylous.
