[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly,  I don't want to work with someone who thinks I didn't raise my children properly because I chose to work.  I don't think those kinds of women deserve to work. I'd rather hire someone else.

I said it.[/quote]

Do you work because you love what you do or because you need to work to survive? [/quote]

Both.  I need the money.  But if I didn't, I would still work.  Your point?  I'm interested.

Let me say, another reason I wouldn't want to work with such a person is because I generally find people that hold that kind of opinion to be close-minded.  Not an asset in the workplace, and often a liability.  And someone who made that kind of opinion known in an interview?  Not very good judgment on their part.[/quote]

My attitude and opinions were similar to yours when I hated my job and was working to pay the bills. Now that I am happier with my career, I  changed career fields, I feel a lot differently. I think my view was changed by the lack of work ethic of my old co-workers. I was a bitter worker at the time which fit with the workplace environment that I was in.[/quote]

Huh.  Well, I definitely don't hate my job.  I do hate that there is a meme out there about how moms who work, whether by choice or necessity, don't deserve to be mothers.  That meme is being perpetuated by men who would like nothing more than to hold ambitious women back...including their wives, who buy into it.  [/quote]
