There is a tendency unfortuantely for women to be 'extra'aggresive' when they get promoted to prove that thery are as as good and tough as their male counterparts.
I find all aspects of Ambition pretty shoddy irrespective of their gender.
Are you perhaps - Ambitous ?
Have you noticed that it always leaves you feeling unsatisfied ?
Like an itch you cannot scratch ?
So - Away with Ambition !

We've been given the all clear to ignore her and walk away mid sentence if she gives us any more grief.
I wouldn't call her ambitious just gratuitously unpleasant. And she loves me for cracking the glass in one of the meeting rooms with a pallet truck

My golden rule of contracting is
Never ever work for a female or asian manager
To prove that they are worthy of the post
they will push you hard and work you to death.

They enjoy having the word "manager" in their title, and are trying to get as much power as they can.

reminds me of a hopeless PM I had once, who happened to be a woman.
Totally useless at the job so she was, and she was a contractor too.
but the oddest part about her was she had all the mannerisms of a 14 year old. huffy, made faces when things weren't going her way, stood with her mobile phone checking in the way kids do, phone in hand, staring at it intently.
(waiting for comment along the lines of "aren't all women like that?")

Originally posted by threaded View PostMy girly (the senior police officer type) has just been promoted and I agree with the first part, that when they are good they are very very good, but disagree with the second part, because when she's really bad: she's better...
Obviously, I shan't name him or her; wouldn't be fair (privacy and all that), but is there a causal link? Are many of those bitchy female managers complete sexslaves at home?

Originally posted by Cyberman View PostI've only ever worked under one female project manager and she was the best of all, also a contractor, and commanded tremendous respect. In fact, most managers that I have worked under I have had tremendous respect for.
Perhaps I have been lucky !!
But when they are bad they are horrid!
