    Is your boss male or female?

    Pretty straight forward question. Is your main boss or are most of your supervisors male or female? If you aren't currently employed, then please go by your previous job.

    My wife is female, so I guess option #2?

    I spent longer working for women then men, but frequency wise there have been more male bosses than women.

    Female, and my boss's boss is female, and her boss is also female.

    In fact, a lot of the library is female.

    My boss is male. His boss is male. His boss is male. I think in my company of approximately 100 people there are 20 bosses of which 18 are male.

    I work in the oil and gas industry repairing/servicing/providing tech support/selling electronic devices.

    Prepare this thread to shatter what you think about management. Tons of woman bosses.

    In my last job, I had a fairly equal sprinkling of male and female supervisors.

    Currently, I am my boss. And despite my complaints to HR, I simply will not stop sexually harassing myself.

    Um, male? I think. I'm pretty sure his name is Don, but I've never met him.
    Get a grip man! It's CHEESE!

    Most of my bosses have been male, but some of my direct bosses have had female bosses. I think while women are still underrepresented by some industries a lot of companies have realized that women make just as capable of leaders as men.

    Male, a very nice and intelligent one at that.

    I have two bosses, one male and one female, so wasn't sure what to pick. Went with female anyway anyway since my bosses' boss is a woman.

    My boss is male and hes much more approachable than the women bosses I've had in the past. You can have boys jokes with them, call out good looking girls in the office in the privacy of his office and generally be guys. There's more comeradary and you don't have to be weary of the 'time of the month' outbursts or random moods from women bosses.

    That being said, women bosses I've had in the past have been cake walk, you tell them you have to leave early or stay home to look after wife/child and they melt on you for being so caring, throw them the occasional bunch of flowers/chocolates on birthdays (cause usually they get neglected from their significant other on the day) and you have a green card for whatever you want to do.

    These are my experiences in educational management, it may not be true in other industries.

    Wow.... That... is some generalisation you got going on there.

    Anyhow, my boss is female, and I prefer it like that.... Even if Im male myself, I have a hard time connecting with other males, thus having a female boss is alot of the usual stress off my shoulders. She is also far more understanding of the fact that Work while important, is not the most important thing in life, and as such has alot more leeway than some male bosses I've had, something I'm thankfull for... Because I need to look out for my future, not just my current employment.

    First boss: Male
    Second boss: Male
    Section superintendent in my AF job: Male
    Immediate supervisor in AF job: Male

    I guess one of the managers in my civilian job is female and my boss, but she's more customer service, which I don't do.

    They were all fine.
