I don't have employees. My wife does bookkeeping if necessary but we don't encourage it. I am relying on accounts production and tax production software and software for practice management to make things easier.
Luckily, when I trained at Ernst & Young (Whinney Murray/Ernst & Whiney/Ernst & Young in quick succession) in London they were not a bullshit type of business.
The OP has tried but the boss is a coward and avoiding the situation.
Yes, but what is your judgement of how accurate it is?
The manager is too busy to participate in this discussion and keepps putting off the appointment. That's a bad sign in itself. You should be able to spare time to deal with staff problems and you should stick to appointments if possible but certainly not keep putting them back.
It depends on what the OP expects to have to do to be a success! Are you sure the OP is female? I've not seen any evidence.
Because the gender of the boss changed, I actually still suspect the OP is a troll. But I'm bored enough to play with it.
Other than that, I don't know. A somewhat feminine writing style, I guess.
But you have a rather masculine aggressive style!
Except for giving out blow jobs, you mean?
I believe the story is true; otherwise, why would he spend so much time here detailing it? However, most of the posters in this group were addressing his bad attitude.
As for the manager, maybe she is a coward because she just does not like him for one reason or another and cannot address it in a face to face meeting. He may or may not be displaying a bad attitude at work. If so, then it is probably not nearly as bad as indicated by his written words in this group. However, perhaps his manager recognizes the bad attitude and does not like him.
What has been your experience with males working under female bosses? For me, men and women always seem to get along no matter the hierarchy.
I've personally never known it to matter either. But because I am female, I'm not sure that a male colleague would confide in me about that particular concern.
If you are a manager and do not like a worker you should still treat them in a professional manner.
I think the OP got a bit frustrated by your attitude.
I've not had a problem with a female in charge. In accounting firms the amount of experience and knowledge that is accumulated quickly means that you usually respect your seniors on jobs.
I've seen bad female bosses just like bad male bosses.
I think the OP has a pattern of getting frustrated. And that wasn't really attitude - that was opinion.
