[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard her on a program on public radio this morning, talking about a new book on grief. It sounded interesting, and I might check it out, but something about her always rubs me the wrong way too. I'm a woman, and she just seems to think all women (or men, for that matter) have it as good as she does.

Even though she was discussing her grief experience and the difficulty of going back to work, she did not mention how good she has it getting off more than a couple of days (10 days, plus having an understanding CEO)  When my friend's mother died, she received 3 days...And was eventually fired from her job for taking too much time off to deal with the estate.

She may have some good points for women who have been able to almost make it close to the top. For the rest of us, the tone is not very understanding.[/quote]

I didn't listen to the show because the way it was advertised drove me nuts. In promos, the host said something like, "call and tell us how you've grown as a result of personal tragedy." Seriously? Now we're competing over how we handle tragedy? It's not enough just to survive; you have to grow? But maybe that was just him and not Sandberg.[/quote]
