[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave notice and will be quitting this month. My children need me. It sucks to be part of that statistic, but my boss (who has small children) heaped piles upon piles of work on me and didn’t understand why I wasn’t happy about working 60+ hours per week during a pandemic and DL. If I had a more flexible and understanding job, I’d try to work through this. But here we are. [/quote]

Women need to stop doing stuff like this if we ever want to achieve equality.  [/quote]

Women need to stop quitting terrible jobs?[/quote]

Women need to stop quitting their job to provide unpaid labor for men.  [/quote]

We need to change the system so this doesn't need to happen.  The problem is the system.  Let's not blame a woman for making s decision that makes sense for her - it creates a vicious cycle and focuses the blame in the wrong place.    [/quote]

I disagree.  I think one of the main issues is that women willingly provide so much unpaid labor.  I always was under the impression that women are victimized by men. The older I get, the more I see how women contribute to the problem.

An entire wsj section today about how women are hurt professionally by covid.  Really??  Where are their husbands?  Why are women assuming this responsibility?  [/quote] 
I agree that women let men get off Scott free often but blaming the women for that doesn’t help.

I am 10 years younger than DH. While he makes more than I do, my earning potential is greater. It is easier for us as he has a very flexible job, so our solution is that I work hard while he tread water.   But we have that luxury and a big cushion.

Women who could be stars in 5 years are getting wiped out by covid and our regressive president. Vote to express your thoughts about how the future should be.  I am taking my moonshot- I want to see on my deathbed that my career saved lives.other moms should have that privilege (and responsibility). Yes men can have it too but that will happen any ways. Moms out there, don’t give up.  How can we help you?

You can help me by being willing to hire me if I have 10 years’ more experience than the 30 yo you hired instead, and by not saying my 6 month resume gap meant I “lacked recent experience” and “wasn’t current”. You could help by not judging me so harshly when that became a 3-year gap, and not seeing it as a betrayal of working women everywhere. Plenty of us SAHMs never planned to be a SAHM, but one job loss and a million biased men and women on hiring committees have decided that we’re some kind of lesser species to be avoided and/or shamed.

So the 30 yo shouldn't be able to progress in their career because ?  I  have no problem hiring  women who have taken time off to be home for the kids. However my prefrence are women who have made some effort to remain abreast of changes to the field . [/quote]
