WWAW having a female boss?

Preface: I’ve worked in tech sales for years and am just having a hellacious year with various mental health problems that I’m finally taking pills for so I’m not innocent.

Been at this big startup for two years and was moved to a team lead by a woman I was peers with. I get no feedback on anything until something goes wrong and I will be sat on a phone call for 20 minutes and just spoken at. The times I am assertive and explain myself, I am talked over and made to feel like I am being not receptive to criticism when I know what a shitty year I’ve had.

What I take out of all of the feedback I get from her is mostly “why don’t you know everything I know? Look how well I know it?” Again, not innocent, I’ve sucked this year and lost a bit of myself but going from you’re doing great to getting berated about every little thing I could be doing wrong (some of it totally invalid or exaggerated) seems insane and something I’ve never experienced in 13 years of being in corporate America.

The glimpses I get of her home life from conversations seem like a fucking mess with multiple step kids and a divorce so sometimes I just chalk it up to white trash who did really well in corporate America but will never actually feel good enough so she has to shove her intellect and “grit” in my face.

I think almost all my supervisors have been female but all managers or directors male. I don't really hate it. It also keeps me from being too insane in emails. The only time I got in trouble for a work group chat was when I had a male supervisor.

I've never really had a female boss per se, but I've worked for women doing their renovations or whatever and they're always the ones who stand over you and want to supervise everything, ask questions about everything I'm doing like I can explain all this shit and I don't need to focus, get in the way, or even try to help which is insanely annoying and unnecessary.

The not understanding that I'm not going to stop everything I'm doing and look them in the eyes while they're yammering at me is the worst. Like, if it's something important about the job, tell me. Otherwise leave me alone. I'll do better work if you leave me alone.

It's like women hire contractors to be their husband for a few days. Just some dude they can delegate to. You'll be almost finished building a deck or installing a kitchen or something and then get a "While I've got you here..." and then rhyme off ten more little jerkoff jobs that anyone can do. So instead of just getting the job I'm there to do done, I get to waste time doing a bunch of free bitchwork or deal with them acting like I just slapped them in the face if I tell them I'm charging for extra work. I've never done a job for a woman that didn't ask for free work that had nothing to do with what I was hired to do.

The boss I work for now is a woman and she’s pretty good but every other woman has been mediocre at best.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. Nitpicking every detail isn’t going to magically make the problems we need to solve go away.

I work for a small business that has branches in a few states. The president and vp are old and the vp has the worst case of trained helplessness I have ever seen. Knows how to do shit, but is so use to delegating he forgets how to press the scan button on a printer. Majority of the administration is women. It's not too bad. I show up, fix simple things and make it sound harder than it really is and listen to their stories and speak politely and they treat me well. I had a direct female supervisor in the past and she was a lying bitch, but I could make her laugh.
