First off, not trying to be racist/sexist at all, just trying to get a data point. I have two job offers, one has a male Indian manager and the other has a female Indian manager. For me, the chemistry with my manager is the most important thing at work. I am Indian male. I have had total 7 managers in my professional life, only one was a female, and that was the only stressful time I had in my life. I had an awesome chemistry with the 6 male managers and they were from India, China, Russia, and US. I am hoping that my bad experience with the female manager was an exception, so trying to get data points from Blind.
Where's the "I don't give a shit option"? If my manager knows their stuff technically, has good insight into where what we're working on fits with the org and is empathetic, I'm happy, I don't care about gender at all.
Of all the jobs I’ve held, I’ve had: 2 positive experiences with male managers, 2 neutral, and 1 negative 0 positive experiences with female managers, 3 neutral, 1 negative
I have two job offers, one has a male manager and other has a female. I think your connection with your manager is very important, hence the poll. 😐
Most women managers are crazy By the way, I am female.
You have a very wrong criteria.
Where's the option for I don't care?
I generally don’t care but the two female managers I had were very strict, expected a lot, and micromanaged me hard. I don’t blame them though it may have something to do with women having to prove themselves more in order to achieve the same as men in the workplace.
I had two managers, 1 male, 1 female. Both sucked. TLDR most managers are bad.
Had 3 male managers, 1 female. 2 male managers were very good, 1 neutral, the female manager however was negative experience for me. She would micromanage, keep track of time (I used to work at night too but she kept tracking my day hours), skip 1:1s most time. The same team became very good after she left & new male manager came in!

High pay, meaningless work
sexist not racist
Sexism is a type of racism. It’s been this way since like 2010. You sound old fashioned
Sexism and racism are both types of prejudice, but you're right that colloquial use is starting to mix them.
