[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP, but I don't feel bad.  This is a conscious choice you made, to give up your career and be supported by your husband, and you are now perceived as always putting career on the back burner.  PTSA and HOA simply don't translate to the real world.[/quote]

^^ burned by the ex-wife for alimony,  are ya?[/quote]

Uh, hardly. I'm a  (female, with young kids) hiring manager who would never pass up a motivated young recent grad for someone who quit voluntarily and is now out of the game. Harsh but true. Based on OP's post I'm not alone.[/quote]

I am sorry you are so bitter that someone else is raising your children while you work your important job of hiring manager.
Some women can handle that other women made the choice to stay home, but you obviously can't.  I'm sorry for you.

You go ahead and hire millennials and I'll be laughing at all the training and behavior modification your organization will need to do because of your misguided philosophy! [/quote]

First of all, the PP isn't entirely wrong.  If it's a choice btw someone new with fresh/updated skills who will build a career and someone who opted out years ago, most would go with the former.  And if you think Millennials are going away, dream on.  I work with Millennials, and while some of their style clearly don't match mine, b/c they're paid for representing our company, they WILL step up - or they're out.

But the bottom line is this - Millennials WILL be running the country, folks, and Boomers and Gen Xers will be retiring.

Companies/orgs move forward. They don't want to step back, and sometimes that's how SAHMs entering the workforce are viewed - as stepping back.

And no, HOA boards and PTAs aren't stand outs.  I know of plenty of working parents also represented on those committees.

It is what it is.  Business is business.
