Having had several women managers I have found them to be

But how about PERSONALITY ... esp when it came to
dealing with disliked employees ???

ABILITY - as said, female intellect/capability is
as good as anything else. But how that's USED can
sometimes be an issue. Men, opposed, will beat
one swiftly into submission - all done, all settled.
But women, alas, tend towards 'poison' and back-
stabbing politics. Not ALWAYS, not in every situation,
but enough to notice.

Or are you so Woke you refuse to see ?

Oh well, hope you get a RealBitchBoss :-)

(Oh, DID send it to alt.politics.trump :-)

As for alt.atheism ... the message is to not
build 'religions' around any ethnic or gender.
Look sharp, see clearly.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Look at their latest weapons in

troops. Just wait till the troops get back to DPRK and tell
everyone about all the porn rest of the world gets on the internet.

Poland is building an iron border. Latvia was at risk, but NATO

The only one threatenning nuclear weapons is Russia. If Russia is
ever that stupid, UK and France can respond even if Don Fatso just
cowers under his bed.

That depends on Russia. NATO is not preparing any invasion force

Such meetings were private between employee and manager.

The worst manager I had was male. He ws eventually moved
out of direct management and the word was he would never be
a manager again.

I worked with various levels of managers in various lines of
direct authority. I worked for a single direct manager in a
single lien of authority of course.

And, I am happy to watch! Sifting through all of the misinformation &
disinformation can be a chore, though! If you have any recommendations,
please post those here!

I guess my biggest question is, "What do they want?" If it is
"tolerance," I guess that would depend? Tolerance of what?? The
American Nazi Party is tolerated, in that their existence is not
illegal, but they are not going to speak on any college campuses, at
least without opposition. Now, is that a bad thing??

Lot's of movies and kid shows always slip something in for the adults.
When my kids were growing up my husband was reluctant to attend things like
Disney On Ice until his beer buddies told him of the somewhat graphic shots of the
females in skimpy outfits.
One show and he was always eager for the next one.
LOL !
And that was when Disney was actually "snow white".
I shudder to think what it's like these days.

Very.

The younger generation woke up and realized this which is why they supported Trump.

This year at thanksgiving get together all the younger people were talking about is how
they are so screwed and will probably never achieve the American dream.
They are, as a group, very discouraged but are mobilizing on social media and fighting back.
They get it.

What did puzzle me was that older folks, like myself, were upset that Trump won.
They were actually convinced that he was going to take away their medicare, SS and so forth.
I was stunned.
Bottom line is these are the people still hooked on legacy media, Fox, CNN, NPR, MSNBC and they
believe what they are fed.
That is scary.

I have not seen stats documenting the demographics but I am interested.

You can say that again.
I think that Putin and Trump both realize this and since they are somewhat
old school that is the last thing they want.
I suspect an agreement will be reached which gives all sides the opportunity
to save face and still get at least some of what they are interested in.
Just my opinion.
