That reminds me many years back, I got a cheque from a client from Lagos. I was broke to the teeth. It was a Friday and needed to cash it for the weekend would be dry if not. I got to the first bank, went straight to the lady at the counter, gave her the cheque and she asked for my ID. I was having only my International passport as ID then. She looked at me and said "Mr WILLuKPquiet, this passport expired two days ago" I said yes I know. "I am sorry I can't pay you" she said and threw both the passport and cheque to me. I beg , beg she commot face. I hurridly dashed to another bank before the closing hour. I got there it was another lady and she behaved likewise. Time was running out so, I left for the third bank and this time around, I made up my mind not to go to a lady cashier. Getting there, I went to queue infront of a man. It was my turn and I gave him the cheque. He asked for my ID and I gave him. He looked at me and said, "Sir, your passport expired two days ago" I said yes. He then asked me why I wasn't having another ID and I told him I just returned to the country after years overseas. Which was true. He smiled and said go and get another passport or a driving license. Next time, you won't be paid. I said thanks. The guy paid me and that was how I did not starve that weekend. Give a woman power and she will want you to know she's the boss here. No mercy , no human feelings most times. 9 Likes |

bluefilm: I understand, I already said it. It has to be a woman.... A man cheats, because of a woman. A man is violent; because of a woman. A man rapes; because of a woman. A man steals; because of a woman. A man commits ritual killing; because of a woman. A gender so superior and logical yet they have been blaming all their actions on women right from the Garden of Eden. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

I have had this exact similar experience, infact in the same particular order to be precise. She was my project manager & she was offended because I don't overly send long greetings & pleasantries before sending official work message on our Slack communication tool (Similar to Skype) back then. It became so bad that I had to proof read & re-modify every single message to make it sound sweet and pleasing before I can send it which was very emotionally draining for me. Imagine wanting to send a status report of a task in an emergency, I need to modify it to sound so nice. I'm not saying that Men are better, but the women have this similar behaviors across board in most organisations. PrimadonnaO: 2 Likes |

A female boss can hold grudges and keep malice with her staff till they either resign or get fired. But a male boss is very straight forward. He might get angry and reprimand you, and the next day he will laugh with you as if nothing happened. That's when you are willing to heed to corrections. 7 Likes |

truthsayer009: It is not about not being used to it, it is more about the fact that you have to perform twice as hard to prove your competence. A man is already assumed to be competent just by being a man with a penis, a woman would have to prove it. I got posted to my team and the first thing my boss said was he told them he didn’t want sisi eko, he already assumed I am a dumb blonde. So a guy would have been a better assistant to him on sight. He started asking me silly questions and even asked my score in training, like I just finished, lol. I told him and he said it is a lie, I told him to call HR. Of course he wouldn’t dare do that as my organization has a strong policy on gender discrimination. I have seen a team crumble under a soft female boss because she was scared of exerting her authority, last last it was her assistant (a man) that was running the team and she was there smiling, forming mummy for same people that were finishing her at her back. Before I used to care o, now I will put pressure on you, you won’t kill my career and KPI because I have vagina. You must give me the output I want. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

truthsayer009: You say this because you have never handled a team as a woman. You will set the boundary and they will cross it. The same way blacks are quick to scream racism is how subordinates are quick to use the “female boss” tag. I once told an intern to prepare a report and his gf came to the office. Mind you, there was a deadline. This boy left the report and took his gf to the lunchroom. Tell me how many bosses can take that. The second I used a query to reset his head, he was at my boss’s desk to report. Funny enough the boss he was reporting me to already told me if they give me stress, I should send them back to HR. I was laughing because he doesn’t know what we discuss in our staff meetings. ![]() culf: Yes I am very happy that they now know the lines not to cross. They don’t fear me, they have learned to respect and be submissive. If there is anyone that they fear, it is my boss. If they fear me, they won’t try some nonsense na. I don’t care if you are judging tbh. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

it depend on character like most people said but the truth is, most women can not handle power. we once worked for a lady to be given a particular position in school because she was super active and friendly but when aunty got there, Omo, level change oooo. some female bosses are wonderful though but they are few ratio wise. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Well valid points, but I do not agree Women working twice as hard, because every where I have worked, It has never been that way, so I guess that statement is subjective. I do agree that Women are on a disadvantage because a lot of people undermine their work initially but once they see the impact of the lady, they know what she is capable of moving forward. Apart of that, fine ladies are often assumed to be bimbos on first sight, so that's another reason. Anyway, you have taken the right path of not allowing anyone to Fvckup your KPI because they are getting paid, It's not free work. pocohantas: |

They don't see gender when it is a man abusing his authority yet we have more men in service which means more percentage of men abusing their position. They will be the same people to shout that no one stops a woman from holding position of power. With these ones, a woman can't win. pocohantas: 2 Likes |

Reading some of the comments and I'm wondering what kind of companies exist in this country...Lol In all my years of working, I've had female bosses and male bosses and gender has never been a thing.

truthsayer009: I can 100% relate. "Please, ma'am, you're yet to respond to the task I logged in on Asana." She'll ignore and go to the WhatsApp group to call you out... then ask that you repost the message sent on the WhatsApp group... then ask you to rephrase the question. That day her problem was that the message should have been "Ma, a kind reminder to respond to the task logged on Asana." Or she makes an attempt at joking on the official platform after work hours, and you don't join the others to send fake LOL and unnecessary reactions, she'll bring it up at a strategy meeting that people ignore messages on the WhatsApp group when everyone's bonding. Everything felt so petty. Just be professional and let people do their work. I had a friend who worked in a place where her pay stub reflected a deduction because her boss was coming into the office and she didn't go get her bag as she approached the reception.

truthsayer009: Maybe those women don’t want to work, but if you want to show you know your worth and have men give you your way, you must have proved beyond reasonable doubt that you know your job. They will be watching you and on a good day they will give you a backhanded compliment. ![]() Of course they are getting paid. If we fail, they will still say we failed because a woman is supervising them. So I choose the hard way. 3 Likes 1 Share |
