I work in state government. My boss starting working for the state the year before I was born. I am 47 years old. She doesn't know exactly what I do, nor how to do my job in the event that I wasn't around. She treats the women in our area with kid gloves and allows them to get away with murder. Meanwhile, my one other male co-worker and I are always treated with a sense of suspicion, like we're trying to get away with something. It's infuriating.
That being said, she isn't a raving asshole. Just ignorant and (IMO) a misandrist. She doesn't micromanage and because of her ignorance, we can get things done without too much pushback. She just wants the credit, which I don't care about. I just want the proper results.
None of us believe she'll retire, she'll die in her office. But if she did retire, I wouldn't be sad or happy. I don't really care. 13 years till retirement, y'all.
