I’m just going to vent here. If you’re offended, idgaf.

I think parenthood can be great for people, but we need to stop putting it on some kind of pedestal like you become a master of the universe for raising a family.
Also a lot of that stuff isn’t just parents. On an increasing scale a greater number of people may also have to be taking care of parents/grandparents/whomever that are ill/disabled. You don’t get to put those skills on a work resume either. If I have to learn to give spongebaths, change a dressing, negotiate…
Or hell, under 18 if you’re a latchkey kid or the oldest sibling in a wide age group. My parents were barely around growing up because they all worked full time and different shifts. The oldest bro helped the younger ones with things like cooking and sometimes school work, younger ones handled basic cleaning (we could…
Mom isn’t official job title so already this turns me off. I never mention the fact I’m a mom at work anymore than I would daughter, sister, wife, cousin, etc. All of those roles also obligate me to personal duties, most of all with my suicidal sister, so motherhood is no different. (My kid will eventually grow up; my…
I think your description of parenting highlights the issue with putting these things on a resume. A good parent does all those things, does them efficiently, and in a way that can be relevant to certain industries. The problem is, there are no metrics for success that employers can access to determine whether, indeed,…
I remember reading about this on Ask A Manager several weeks back and the general consensus was ‘nope.’
Looking to hire someone, I have to admit, my eyes would glaze over and I would move on to the next candidate. It makes it seem... militant? As though someone is sticking it there as a provocative statement. Like saying, “yeah I took a break, come at me bro!” and would leave me thinking the person is just going to be a…
Although being a SAHM is a difficult job, if I was hiring and someone put all that stuff on a resume, I would give it serious side eye. All parents have to deal with the kinds of things you describe, not just those who stay at home.
tl;dr: unless your workplace has good family leave policies, you usually aren’t coming back to the same place. Most US workplaces don’t.
Same. When the answer to “who is this hurting” is “delicate bigoted law makers” I’m sorry but that’s not enough for me
I agree. It’s wonderful that we allow our cities to shine (because of undocumented immigrants polishing) on the hill (of pollution that a lack of EPA is about to create), act as beacon (through a president’s misogynistic tweets) of freedom (for bigots to hide behind tradition and religion), serve as a safe (but not…
I got charged with wire fraud once... turns out it was just a very small diameter cable.
If all she wanted to do was explore cloistered femaleness without the tin-eared clanking of “no Black people here in the Civil War south, no sirree!” she could have set the basic premise—man enters isolated female enclave—literally anywhere else, at any time period.
Yet had all the characters wearing yards and yards of pale linen and lawn as if those women would be washing, hanging and ironing an industrial quantity of clothes and lingerie every single day without slave labor. Sure thing, Sofia.
It’s always crazy how she eliminated Black people in the freaking Antebellum South, whose entire lifestyle was predicated on slaves for crying out loud.
Any interest I had in seeing this movie has been killed by the tone deaf decision to cut out black characters. Sofia’s idiotic responses to questions about why the characters were cut was ridiculous.
Wow , it’s almost as though Trump has tweeted a panic inducing tweet about some dubious crime statistic and how he is now being the manliest President who ever was Presidented. Somehow he’s going to solve it, in a futile attempt to distract from the clusterfuck that is everything else that he has done/failed to do in…
Go ahead, bring the Feds to Chicago. Do it right, and it will be welcomed. Do it wrong, which is more likely to be the case, and it will just show how incompetent you are. Also, you’ve promised this before and they still aren’t here.
Hmmm maybe the problem with Chicago is that some neighborhoods lack jobs? And guns are…
