(maybe 'cause I'm always the first to tell them that I don't want their jobs). I'm aiming over their heads. LOL<BR/><BR/>White women make up the majority of my mentors, basically grooming me to be their bosses. (remember and be nice to us, lil' black girl, hee hee) <BR/><BR/>In the restaurant business, I worked with men and women. The women always tried to look tougher than the men, so they were the WORSE hard asses. And the men were cool. <BR/><BR/>Of course, whenever women and men coexist, (at least with me) the relationship, professional or not, is a little flirty, a little giggly, and a little bit of "let me show you what a big strong man I am". <BR/><BR/>They take my eye rolls for winking...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791924016141740668.post-20004130040741357432008-10-06T12:23:00.000-04:002008-10-06T12:23:00.000-04:00I have had cool bosses of your thumbs up portion, ...I have had cool bosses of your thumbs up portion, usually no issues with any of them, BUT the older white woman has been a crap shoot. The one I have now is great. But the BITCH (whose job I have now,*brushing off shoulders*)was the devil incarnate, she felt so threatened (and I guess justifiably so, lol)and worried about the srong stuff, micromanagement was the nail in her coffin, she was so worried about what I was doing that she fell off on HER job.... but y'all don't hear em though she really was the devil, I think the horns were hidden by her poofy bad hair...Naturally Alisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587741755923221587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791924016141740668.post-52413607183611589032008-10-06T12:22:00.000-04:002008-10-06T12:22:00.000-04:00yeah i can see black guys trying to punk you on th...yeah i can see black guys trying to punk you on the job. i'm going to need bosses to lighten up and get over themselves.eysqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609329532972336817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791924016141740668.post-72188971813856857622008-10-06T12:11:00.000-04:002008-10-06T12:11:00.000-04:00i echo ur sentiment for a few of these but ill be ...i echo ur sentiment for a few of these but ill be honest, i have had some BAD times with having black male bosses, its kinda like if they are close to my age they feel it to be a competition of sorts and have done little underhanded shit to me and i never wanted their job, just to do a good one from my position.<BR/><BR/>and having an older white woman for a boss has been a crapshoot for me as well, i had one boss who was a COMPLETE idiot and wanted to make me her assistant. I had to tell her I am your subordinate not ur assistant, i mean this chick couldnt even retrieve her own email, and had the nerve to be a micromanaging ass! it was not a good look.<BR/><BR/>on the flip side i had a older white woman for a boss who was mad cool. It may or may not been the fact that she had cougar tendancies that she was really nice to me but she looked out, was always on top of her stuff and gave me good assignments and responsibilities (spelling lol) and even gave me a great rec letter when i moved on.<BR/>so its hard to call. with all the other groups mentioned it was a breezeReesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913648471609420613noreply@blogger.com
