[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what to make of this.  This female exec tells that she rolled her eyes at working moms, scheduled last minute meetings at end of day without considering moms have to pick up kids from daycare....until she had her own kid.

now she started her own company for working moms and apologizes to moms for her past behavior.

Here are my thoughts:

[b]So, you can't see past your own experiences and now want to be rewarded for it?[/b]

Good marketing for your new company - you mention it often enough.

In this day and age, shouldn't it be working moms AND DADs?

Not sure I buy into this whole thing.[/quote]

I don't see the problem with her recognizing her past mistakes and trying to atone for them. Maybe it is a publicity stunt but I appreciated reading it because it made me think of similar things I might have done. I definitely wasn't thoughtful about my discrimination when I was younger but I can recall silently judging parents (moms and dads) for leaving work early for events, the time they took off for maternity/paternity leave, etc. I just didn't get it until I had kids. And this goes for a lot more than just judging people in the workplace. So shouldn't she be able to apologize and try to make good on her mistakes?[/quote]
