(14,337 posts)Some female bosses I had were good, and some were bad. I would say the same for male bosses. We are all individuals.
I had a friend back in the 60's who owned a dress store. She designed and sewed all the dresses. I made a lot of my own dresses then, and did so on the side for others. She asked me if I would work her in store because she wanted to open another store with a different line of products, and did not have the time for the dress store full time. I agree to on a part time basis.
Probably not a typical employer/employee situation. Friends first? Plus, I was not paid a set salary. I got a percentage of all the sales the store sold. After all, the majority of the dress were my designs and my dressmaking skills. More of a partnership? She was the best female boss I ever had.
