Should others be trying to "hire a boss"
- johnnybgoode 17y agoThey already are, but most of them call it "looking for a job". If you mean trying in the same way this person is, it probably wouldn't matter much if a lot of people start doing it.
- johnnybgoode 17y ago"So are there any real qualifications for this job? I’ve thought about it quite a bit over the last few weeks. And the only clear almost un-negotiable one I could come up with is that you have to be a guy. A guy who’s been in a serious and stable relationship for a significant period of time. That’s it. Every boss I’ve worked with well has met that criterion. Weird, huh?" This sparked some reactions, as you'd expect.
- Oxryly 17y agoSome sort of reverse workplace discrimination? Its certainly a red flag of some sort.
- russell 17y agoI've worked for quite a few women and I've found all to be excellent managers, except for one who really didnt like programmers (she said so herself). I've worked for quite a few jerks, and they were all guys. Maybe it is a gender related thing. Or maybe I'm not looking to have my hand held.
