[quote=Anonymous]OP, 2 years ago our very small org (7 people) hired a woman who all but told us she intended to start a family. She was not expecting at the time but was trying and asked a lot of questions about maternity leave and flex time.

She came back and is doing the minimum which distresses me as a woman. I liked her honesty but it is clear that this job means nothing to her and I'd wish she leave it so we could hire the go-getter that we need.

In another case, last year, we hired a mom and she kicked ass and took names in her position. Soon after she started she got pregnant, had a horrible pregnancy but did an amazing job between bathroom visits.

She's still on leave but I somehow suspect that she will too continue to kick ass.

I offer this b/c I think our job performance says a lot about us as people. Not as women or mothers.

As for me, I had an old office manager (78) tell me that I could not do my job and be a mom..she told me this while I was 8 months along.

Well, I took 5 months off and 6 months after returning I got a raise, bonus, and promotion to#2 at the org.
