I've always liked Beadle but for her to come out this hard at her own employer, wow.

Oh, I didn't realize she had a bum knee

That's not the point though. If you look at what I've said here, I fully support maternity leave, I'm just realistic about its consquences to those still left at the office taking on the extra work, which apparently makes me an asshole.

That's not the point though. If you look at what I've said here, I fully support maternity leave, I'm just not willing to let hypocracy go when the OP talks about people trying to "get themselves pregnant" as though it's an insult then have you guys basically admit to doing it. Game the system all you want, it's one…

"Actually it's battery" - you, agreeing that a law has been broken

Thank you! Fun way to start the day...

"What's the difference between you and a mallard with a cold? One's a sick duck and I can't remember how it ends, but your mother's a whore."

Point is it's a crime which you even agree to so go fuck yourself with a rusty nail.

Yes, that's the important thing here. Jackass.

On the public-facing website? Not an internal, "wannabe-Facebook" kind of thing? I've never seen that and I've worked at a lot of different places. I simultaneously feel bad for the web guy stuck changing that in and out while also thinking your old company probably treats people pretty well if they're going that…

Yes but if you're planning it out like a vacation it leads to the offensive "get themselves pregnant" BS I was responding too. Put down the rabbit ears, sometimes your gender games the system too. You can't feign offense when people say that while then tacitly admitting that it's sometimes true with your last…

I'm terrified to even wade into these waters but here goes.

Nope, just that acting like a child should be called out regardless.

That's a nice strawman you're building there but calling one person wrong (never said illegal and did say "fuck them" but, ya know, details...) doesn't automatically mean the asshats talking about not hiring women are right.

"If I am looking at that correctly that is you, I take it, defecating on my grave."

I was hoping to check them out myself but I'm kind of glad they didn't. You just know most of them would be obscure foreign teams and you'd just end up angry by the end of it.

So you didn't give them what they ordered and charged them anyway? I mean, fuck them, but that's why they should never hire you anyway.

I support this but it wouldn't benefit everyone. It would put more work on everyone and truly not benefit the shareholders and higher ups because the office would be in a constant state of flux. I'm all for this but let's not act as though there are no ramifications.

Unless it's a 2 person company with a weird website I call BS. No one's website has every single employee.

It's a complicated issue that does have 2 sides and does negatively effect a business even if it's unfair to penalize someone for it, you can still mention it?!? You are way to moderate and sensible.
