[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a FT WOTH mom of 2 kids, I kind of hate her.  I think that there are much more legitimate ways to get rid of unproductive employees that wouldn't affect those who telecommute and do a good job. I try to telecommute once a week and my office is pretty good about letting me do that.  We maybe moving about 20 minutes farther away from my office in downtown DC than we live now (inside the beltway silver spring) and if that happens I plan to ask my boss if I can work remotely as the rule, and make my days in the office more the exception and if they say no I will look for work elsewhere. The idea of people all having to be in the office to be productive is so shorsighted and old fashioned, and for a new mom to come up with that policy just reeks of desperation.[/quote]

I totally agree with this. I think between her two week "maternity leave" and this, she is no friend to women in the workplace. [/quote]

Um, what CEO is?[/quote]

Some were, back in the days when unemployment was low and companies worried about finding good workers to fill positions. I used to look at those "best places to work"  and "family friendly companies" lists. I even went to work at a company with one of those CEOs who touted work-life balance and all that jazz.

Last week, they cut the number of days we get for vacation and for sick leave. We need a note from the doctor to use sick leave and cannot use it to care for sick family members. In a different time I would stomp my feet as I bolted for a new job. Instead, I try to remember to be thankful to have a job, health insurance and a some paid leave. The CEOs know this and act accordingly.[/quote]
