Very linkbait title.
"Only one-fifth of people surveyed by Gallup this week said they preferred a female boss over a man. One-third preferred a male boss, and the rest had no preference."
That means nearly half (47%) didn't care, and there's only 13% difference between those that prefer men to women.
To me this is simply a matter of demographics. There's still a big chunk of people that have been working since the time when women were only allowed to be secretaries or nurses. As they retire the percentages are likely to even out completely.
- jiggy2011 12y agoIt's also quite ambiguous , does the person prefer to have a boss who is $gender because the gender is an advantage in it's own right? Or do they simply believe that people who are good bosses are more likely to be $gender but would be equally ok with a boss of either gender provided that they were a good boss?
- imgabe 12y agoOr maybe they previously had a good boss who was a man and a bad boss who was a woman (or vice versa) and the question reminds them of that.
