[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I did NOT like about his answer is that it contained absolutely no policy element. But personally I am consciously trading money for flexibility and fewer hrs. I would resist a raise if it mean less flexibilty/more hrs. So the "less pay" issue is just not the problem for me that limited flexibility options are. I think Mitt touched on an important issue of concern to lots of women, but he didn't handle the shift in focus well.[/quote] Flexibility is not a replacement for equal pay. If myorganization pay me $120K and a male employee $150K, flexibility or not I still do the same work at a different time. That is not fair practice. If they pay me $120K for 6hrs/day hours and pay male employee at the similar role $150K for regular 8hrs/day schedule, that would be fine. However, assuming flexibility a requirement for women only is sexist. I know many men who too want flexibility. The other offesive thing that Romney said was he would make the economy so much better that employee will hire women. [/quote]
