Survey: Men make better bosses than women
Two thirds of British employees, both male and female, say they would rather work for a man than a woman, it has been found.That's because female bosses were accused of being bitchy, hormonal and incapable of leaving their personal lives at home.
A third of 3,000 employees polled claimed women in charge are 'loose cannons' - ready to stab colleagues in the back at any time, and who constantly feel threatened by other people in positions of authority.
By contrast, both male and female workers believe male bosses were less likely to get involved in office politics, were easier to reason with and rarely suffered from mood swings.
Men were also said to be more straight-talking than women… and probably easier to distract from the fact you're not working, with either a chat about football or a flash of cleavage.
David Brown of UKJobs.net, which conducted the research, said: "Incredibly both men and women are in total agreement that men make better bosses - 63 per cent of women and 75 per cent of men comparatively.
"This indicates that while women might be more than capable of progressing to a management role, they lack some of the key skills required to be a good boss.
"No one is suggesting that women aren't intelligent enough to be in senior positions, far from it, but perhaps they need to be more approachable and less competitive."
