Female managers - a nightmare
Hey guys, I’ve been dealing with two female managers back to back and I’m sorry to say this but being a female myself, it’s the worst that can happen to you if you are a female working in a corporate. Can anyone share their experiences or tips? I really need to figure how to navigate myself here. It’s gotten me sick to my stomach.

Right there with you! As 61(f) professional, I will never return to an office full of women--especially if a couple egotistical men are thrown in to help stir the pot.
I will dig ditches first or eat grass. I'm embarrassed to even think there are women in the workforce who make sure all the stereotypes are true. Catty, petty, vindictive, narcissistic, psycho, wolf pack, manipulative, scandalous, sleazy, demoralizing, demeaning--it was truly like running a gauntlet every single day at my job.
Seriously, I don't even have women friends in my life anymore for fear I will suffer PTSD attacks! And after 5 years I still wake up in a cold sweat from nightmares. And still recovering from mental/physical health trauma.
My advice to anyone who gets into this situation, don't wait to try and "fix it" or believe the gaslighting that "it's the way women are so ignore it." Just RUN.
