Can female supervisor be sexist against female reporters?

My manager treated me super harsh very personally. I think I’m a tough girl, but she’s still made me cried at work for 3times in the first 5 months. I don’t know if it’s a nationality thing, or a gender thing, or age? Soooooooo gross.

It’s a personality thing. It’s not always about racism, sexism, etc

She started that on me since the first week she became my manager.

Get back at her. That’s what bullies expect. For a better result, get back at her disproportionately. Don’t be afraid of getting fired. That most likely won’t happen, and if it does you will escape a very toxic work environment.

I think you are assuming way too many genders here!

That's a red flag regardless of gender. Do not try to rationalize... make sure your leadership and HR knows and ask for a change. Btw... write down the facts as they happened dispassionately. Separate your emotions from her words. She said x. It felt like y. I felt z. I said w.

Anyone can be sexist. Not sure why her making you cry is gross though.

Girl here. For some reason (perhaps just not enough sample data for proper stats), but I've had more negative experience with females during interviews or while at work. They seem to take any disagreement personally, and it's harder to use any logic after this happens.

Appreciate someone sharing their thoughts fearlessly even if it's for 1% of the people in question. These days people look with triple filters for perceived put downs. I wonder how the above would have read without "Girl here".

It's very common. It's the I got it hard so now that I'm in charge I'm making sure you suffer like me syndrome. Or could also be the I'm good and you are not as good, so if I give you good rewards it will undermine our whole minority group syndrome

First of all stand up to her. Second report her. Third leave. Fourth don't let anyone at work ever catch you crying unfortunately it will reflect poorly on you
