Do you prefer to have a male or female boss? Have you ever thought about why? A UCLA study analyzed responses from more than 60,000 people and found that women, even those who were managers themselves, were more likely to want a male boss than a female one. The participants explained that female bosses are “emotional,” “catty,” or “bitchy.”
If we want more women in positions of power, we need this narrative to change. It’s so important that women respect their female colleagues and appreciate working for women in power. Rosalind Wiseman, author of Queen Bees and Wannabes, the inspiration for the Mean Girls franchise, hears from countless women that their workplace is like high school, and existing in that environment every day can be tough, if not impossible. Thankfully, Wiseman has excellent advice for finding allies in the workplace and handling conflict with your colleagues (yes, even when it’s super uncomfortable).
In Mailbag, we hear from a listener who’s wondering if she should be the co-owner of a property she’s buying for a granddaughter, and we check in with someone who is considering taking a job at a company with terrible reviews… Should she bring this up in an interview? In our money tip of the week, is jetting off to somewhere sunny and warm to take a “workcation” a good idea?
