Damn. He's not bad at the talking thing, is he?

There's a lot of comments here that say "if you are working late / can't get your work done in seven/eight hours, then you are a bad employee."
That was SO my reaction to this.... oh, she's had a change of heart=> oooooh, she's plugging her new company. I believe people CAN change, but in this case, how convenient.
First of all, I want to say that I'm sorry about your daughter. It's a terrible loss and it sounds like a lot of people in your life have not been supportive or understanding. That's really rough.
"...and why doesn't she call out any men?"
I love the arrogance of that old lady and how sure she is that she is doing it right, and the frustration of the woman who knows the old lady is doing it all wrong. I just love it. I love the one that the woman is crushing the candy with hammer too.
She's a textbook "cool girl."
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this reaction. I'm also childless, and my second thought after reading this (and after thinking, "Jesus, what a terrible person!") was that now she's a part of TeamMom, she's going to start treating employees without kids like shit. You can see the seeds of it in the editorial, as…
Off topic, but not really, somewhat loosely related observation about society and people who need kindness from strangers the most:
That was exactly my reaction when this article started popping up in my FB feed. Sure, now she's super sympathetic to moms... because she is one. She just sounds like a horrible manager (and not terribly nice person all around) who's only changed her attitude toward one group of people she treated like shit because…
Meh. Even when I was single with no kids, I never thought the moms were slackers. This woman was a dick and, I hate it when people have to have something to happen to them to change their dickish ways.
I read this article the other day and look, I'm glad that she understands the perspective of mothers (and I should say, parents) now that she has a kid, but there is something about this that really rubs me the wrong way. I'm a childless woman and I've worked in a supervisory or co supervisory role with all types of…
Well, I mean, now that it's happened to her she can empathize. Just like Republicans who have gay children and are suddenly all aboard the equal marriage train. Heartless until it's a problem they're personally facing. And that's what this woman was. Heartless. Excuse me if I don't applaud her sudden change of heart.
I can't stand people like this. I mean, it's super swell that she gained some empathy for working mothers and the incredibly difficult situations they may find themselves in, but I can't stand people who are unable or unwilling to put themselves in the place of others unless it has something to do with them. Shit like…
She sounds like she was pretty much a dick as a manager if you DIDN'T have kids. For fuck's sake people, some of us have lives, hobbies, OTHER family members we like to spend time with. Companies have stopped giving a shit about any of us... why do they think we'll continue to sacrifice everything, and kill ourselves…
My first boyfriend (after I had been independent and single for years) told me while we were cuddling once, "See? Isn't this better than being independent?"
I ordered this swimsuit from http://www.venus.com/viewproduct.as…
This is a great nail blog by an actual scientist. She doesn't post very frequently anymore as she's, you know, busy being a scientist, but the archives are an absolute treasure. This lady knows everything about nail care. I've linked directly to her formaldehyde tag, where she gets into why formaldehyde nail…
Was just going to say this. I rock some nylon running shorts over my bikini bottoms. All post-baby problem areas are covered, and you can sexy it up with the bikini top of your choice.
