Bosses in general can be a pain in the ... well, you know, but a new
study finds that your boss' gender can affect just how much pain he or
she seems to inflict.

Researchers at the University of Toronto used data from a 2005

women working in one of three situations: for a lone male supervisor,
a lone female supervisor, or for both a male and female supervisor.
