I don't known if women are cut out for the working world or not. I will not hire the ladies just for this reason!
from another post!!
"I quit my last job without another lined up. It was an abusive environment. I cried a lot. Several of us quit. At the same time, I had some kid-related issues come up that caused me to want to be at home for awhile. Also, I was not in a state of mind to go from one job to another. I felt like a battered wife at my last job and you wouldn't tell a battered wife to go from one relationship to another without a break to decompress. Of the other 3 that quit, only one lined up another job first.
I have always saved about 50% of my income so I have savings to live of off. I am now looking for a new job."
If someone has worked hard enough to get into a position of some authority, they should have the right to hire who ever they want. Also, I believe there are some jobs out there that just favor one gender over the other, it goes both ways.
Please...Just because some woman was distressed and had a touchy feely post you can't make out like all women would react like that.
I work circles around a lot of the guys I work with.
I have to chase them down to get them started on the jobs we're supposed to be doing, because they all like to sit around having a hen party, yakking about video games and sports and movies. They can't seem to get anything done without practically holding each others hands. You know that old bit about folks working harder to avoid working... that definitely applies to these guys. Does that mean all men are slackers?
The only reason why most men don't have to choose their jobs and careers over childcare issues is because wifey or girlfriend is the one who DOES. Time after time it's USUALLY the woman who works part time or at a lower level job or for less $ or hours because 'someone' has to be the parent in case the child(ren) need her.
Of course some men do this. But for the most part, world wide, it's women.
Someday I hope more corporations realize there is a real parenting vs. work dilemma here in the USA. The smart ones will do something about it and stop making women look like vapid crybabies who want to goof off to 'stay home' with their kids.
MAYBE if we had more support, we'd be better workers. I guess women were cut out for the work force when they did all the jobs during WW II....
I tried to rep you GypsySoul, but it said I had to spread it around......I agree 100%!!
I also agree with you DubbleT! Many men I have worked with in the past seem to be better at making their work sound good that actually working hard, or at least as hard as some of the women.
I don't doubt men can be 'super dads' but it's the moms who do most of the childcare in this country.
