I have been really happy for the past few days. Major reasons are first, that my husband has finally started to notice my cooking skills albeit with a lot of (irritating) constructive feedback. But that's OK, because that is what you get, when your husband knows to cook..... better than you. tsk tsk But here's the advantage: one fine day, you can tell hubby that you are in no mood to cook and let him make a yummy Dal and rice!
Well the other good thing is that my new boss is a guy!!! Now don't get me wrong, he is sitting miles away somewhere in Iowa, but it still makes me happy! My husband explains that I haven't been promoted, its just that my boss has changed. My enthusiasm caught my colleague's eye and he finally asked me, "OK you say that having a male boss is so better than having a female one. Then will you be a good manager when you become one?"
Ummmm little tongue-tied there..... But I shoot back instantly and say that I won't be all that jealous and insecure and pushy and ultimately b**chy...He just gave a smirk, which made me think more on this.
I have worked under more than three women, and lets just say that they were not the best people to work with... So whats the problem here, I think. Are there no good "female' managers or I haven't met them yet?
OK let me think again on this: overall, there are mostly bad managers out there. But there are a few good managers. There are few good male managers that I have heard about and some I even worked with! There are few good women managers out there and I really believe this from the bottom of my heart! I have read about them, but I haven't witnessed any yet!
