I will say ugly. I have been with a M of opp gender for a very long time. I'll say it is always a big disadvantage. An ex - I got the best rating from a M and that M left. The M who replaced him/her reduced my rating to avg in a span of 2 months. I observed same partiality on the awards front also. I was not given any award because I never use to indulge in the nonsense which the new M started, but those who bootlicked and agreed to everything received awards and very good ratings.This is just 1 ex. I have seen others face this situation too.

Over 10 yrs of work across 4 firms, I had 2 female managers. Both the female managers were among the best ppl I have worked with and learnt a lot from them.
I had the opportunity to work with some of the best male managers as well.
I strongly believe that it boils down to ppl and gender hardly plays a role

She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

A partner I work for keeps asking for ETA's on assignments I have already submitted to the senior associate on the deal for review. Does it sound like I'm throwing the senior associate under the bus if I say I have already submitted to senior associate and am waiting for feedback? I feel like the partner will get upset at me even more if my answer sounds like I haven't submitted the assignment to the senior associate yet.
