[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]

I was already providing over 20 hours per week of unpaid labor per week (1040 unpaid hours per year!) to a thankless employer. Over the past several years I worked hard, saved a nice chunk of change, and can afford to take some time off. I am considering this a 1 year “retirement” and understand that I’ll have to work an extra year later in life to make up for it. Equality is having freedom to make hard decisions like this.[/quote]
