Question

I seriously have no clue as to wat is she upto, on top of that she has been working with my only counterpart (who is a male) for quite some time which leads to her being bias most of the times. My initiatives and ideas are dropped outrightly, no motivation to carry on .......................... i really dont want to leave the job, but the journey is getting difficult by the minute. Kindly suggest ..................

Answer 1

Treat her with the same professionalism and respect as you would a male boss, for starters, and she may be more receptive to your ideas.

Ask her what it is she would like you to change about your job performance and what you can improve on in her opinion. If you show that you respect her judgement and value her opinion, she will probably give you some good pointers, treat you better, and your workplace will be much more comfortable.

Good luck!

Answer 2

The truth you want to know is that,.....both gender are pretty much the same, but I guess male bosses sometimes do GIVES you the respect and trust,....rather than female bosses that requires you to gained one.
I am pretty much in your shoes too at this very moment.......and believe me, there's much worse things to aspect from my boss than yours, if you don't, try to check out the Q's I've imposed on my Yahoo Answer's.

I have learnt a thing or two about dealing with them.....this will sound a bit of a cliche, BUT, once you know how to deal with it, then you know there's nothing more of a challenge when everythings seems easy.......and try to see things in different perpective, as I do understand from where you're right now.

Your boss might have did a lot for the company from where she is right now, and as for the male counterpart you were saying, ....they would have probably get through some rough patches before you were even in the company, cause that probably explain the reason why your boss have the tendency to be 'bias'.

However, on the downside, I do believe certain things aren't meant to be change, like for the fact that, my boss is actually the company's family member......so, Like it or not.......no matter how incompetent she is, SHE WILL BE MY BOSS NOW AND IN THE DISTANCE FUTURE.
And the thing thant I've learnt from my previuos ex- bosses (both male & female) is that, Never give up anything you've started, persistence always pays, well, at least if you've started believing in it, lol.....
My advise is, if you truly cherished the job you have now,....... try to earn the trust by proving your worth in the company AND ultimately to your boss, ....Nothing will be handed out in a plate and worst comes to worst is that, you just LEAVE, and find other company where you're more happy with.
I'll say Good luck to U and Myself!

Answer 4

If she is a good boss, ask to sit down with her and share your concerns. Ask her if she is unhappy with your work and why if that is your suspicion. Any good boss does not show favoritism, regardless of their sex. Always approach respectfully as you would a male boss.You do not give enough information as to what her bias is-toward the other male worker? Again, ask why your input is not valued.

Answer 5

This sounds like an everyday work related problem not a female problem. Relax. Cool the testosterone. You sound combative maybe this is why she is put off by you. Calm down, stop focusing on the negative, be cool with her and hopefully she will begin to trust you. But be worthy of this trust. If she trusts you and feels you respect her then she may be more receptive to your ideas.
