Gen Z women in the workplace are finding common ground: apparently, “girl dads” make the best bosses.
The chronically online generation is often venting on social media about their “toxic” jobs, even taking it so far as to copy fake lawyers in emails and being maliciously compliant when faced with unfair treatment—rather than dealing with any direct confrontation with HR.
And the flood of cautionary TikTok tales has led them to take stock that the best bosses they’ve had are men with daughters. They’re even filming themselves celebrating finding out that’s their new manager.
“POV: corporate girlies when they find a male manager that’s a girl dad,” wrote one user, @MissBlazer, on TikTok. The video shows her gleefully twirling in a chair.
“The best bosses/coworkers are girl dads,” reads one of the top comments—and most replies seem to agree.
