[quote=Anonymous]Almost every woman I know outside the government sector was laid off in her 50s. I think it has little to do with children or parental leave. It has everything to do with the lack of regard for women once they are no longer sexually attractive, regardless of their professional skills. When my second child was born I extended my maternity leave by working half time from home. (I was the first telecommuter in my company). Turned out I was producing more than full time workers so the company offered me a FT work from home gig. My production levels continued to be far above the norm. Nevertheless, laid off at 55. I now lie about my age when applying for freelance work. [/quote]
