I'm contemplating leaving a business partnership that I've been working my ass off on for the last 3 months and I need to vent.

I'm a guy, and I'm getting very tired with working for/with other men. I tend to have an entrepreneurial attitude of "Ok, this project doesn't do everything for everyone, and there are some glitches, but lets launch now and fix them when we have cash" - but usually the partner/employer/client will start focusing on little bullshit like the pixel alignment in an HTML page and will delay launch by months. They get the little insignificant details right, but at the cost of the big details. So far I've worked for men who were perfectionist little bitches, men who had to have their say (and couldn't just let the professional do his thing), who "always knew better than me", who would be afraid of change and who just have too many mental issues interfering with their business decisions. The result of all of this has been that every internet-related project I've worked on has suffered significant, unnecessary, delays.

I used to work for a Yogi, and he was of the opinion that it was to have both genders in the workplace, because women planned well but executed slowly, and men executed projects quickly. I'm just not seeing that happening in real life.

I'm considering seeking out female business partners from now on, to stop dealing with the bitchy princess shit I've been getting from guys. Now, this post isn't just a vent, I want to get your genuine opinion and experience with this: have you worked with businesswomen before? Am I right about the difference between working w/ women & men or am I just a pissy douche? In your experience, do women generally move faster on business decisions than men?

I appreciate hearing your point of view on this
 


are the guys you working with controlling the money? if so they need to stay the fuck out of the biz and just provide the cash - if thats not the case, just find some new partners
 
Honestly, it sounds like you need to grow a set of balls and stop writing harlequin novels in forums bitching about the people you should be confronting.

Partner sucks? Fire him.

Or you can keep looking for a mommy figure to work with....
 
I think you just need to find better business partners. What's your role in the business?
 
If you can do it better, then go for it. SBA loans are a dime a dozen these days.
 
I had a lucid, well thought out response to this thread but Matt's signature distracted me and derailed it :(

I'll just say "I'm working with a pixel-anal guy at the moment too. It's rough. But he pays nicely."
 
it is my experience that men are too quick to jump the gun, they jump in head first without testing the waters, and some women are too slow....or too indecisive. you need to find a strong headed woman for your partner that isnt the money provider...that way you get both sides, sounds like you have picked some real winners so far. maybe next time discuss business goals before shaking hands...dont just pick em off the internet because he has a cool profile picture and thinks the white sox rock!!! finding somebody that compliments you often means somebody that excels in things you lack....man or woman
 
One day I hope to work for Yogi

Thanks for all the feedback. I sat down and wrote out possible plans of action, and my balls grew just a teensy bit. I'm going to confront him tomorrow, give him an ultimatum from a stronger position (I happen to be the one that has nothing to lose, but lots of time invested), and blow him out of his comfort zone. I think that this thing will go my way - and I'll keep you updated.

You can't use the terms "balls grew" and "teensy bit" in the same sentence. Anyone that says "teensy bit", hath no set.

Male or female doesn't matter. Both can be bitches.

Haha, agreed. But I still think it's a terrible idea. Girls tend to think with their hearts, and that doesn't translate well in business. And when I say hearts, that's a nice way of saying irrational and unpredictable emotions*.



*Does not apply to the exceptional women of WF.
 
URGHS...

Ever worked in an office with ONLY women? Do not go there, do not go there.
Bitchy Princess stuff does not even begin to cover it.
