Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When women are in positions of power it's a hard place to be, especially when that position involves bossing men around.
Using the word 'bossy' for girls can be quite harmful. What is that saying - that being focused, being assertive, being the boss has a negative attribute? And I have heard that term associated more with women than with men. 'He's so bossy' - you don't hear that. It's a very subtle thing.
I feel that gender balance in the work environment is actually the best recipe for success.
Overall, women are a lot more fun to work with than a bunch of men.
It's such a male-dominated industry. You can be a feminist, it's just difficult because it sometimes comes back at you.
I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine.
I was never lined up outside of my bosses office saying 'Give me an opportunity; there's not a woman in primetime'... I was just trying to be so good they couldn't ignore me.
I've never for a second felt like my job has been more of a struggle because I'm a woman.
It turns out I'm not very good at working with a traditional boss.
I always had more women working for me than men.
