I have a hard time working for anyone after running my own show for so long. I do work a little for my cousin in my semi-retirement but he's family, we get along well, I do whatever he asks and he doesn't feel the need to ever fuck with me. It's a good set-up.
The last time I really worked for someone was at a time when I had had some business reversals and I really had to hustle. A friend put me in touch with one of her friends who gave me a job managing her business. I'm grateful to this woman who gave me an opportunity when I really needed it, but man, she was difficult to work for. I also had a female business partner at one time and she had many similar traits when it came to doing business as this woman.
It's hard for me to explain it, but it wasn't like these women were just doing business to make money. They were trying to prove something. They wore the fact that they were female as a badge. And I realize that women of that age group had to kick down doors. So I'm not blaming them. But there was this contentiousness in every interaction when it was usually unnecessary.
I think it would be much easier to work for a Millennial woman. I have never done so, but my business dealings with them have always been what I would call normal. Their approach is just like a guy's. They don't have the need to show you that they are "Women in Charge".
I wouldn't want to work for a Millennial dude. They're generally douchebags.
