Hi Grace,
I read the article link. I lived and worked in California for 22 yrs before moving to NY 18 month ago. I have to say that, after reading this article, it could have been describing me.
I am married with twin girls and for a lengthy period had a teenage daughter at home too. I was ALWAYS asked to work extra days, or stay late, and do you really need the time off (often begging for it)! So, to me I don't see this ladies platform as discriminatory. It's maybe she is great at what she does and they don't want the not so great's to stand in while she is gone.
That is my experience. Very interesting. Thanks for posting this.
I love your site by the way
I'm a MEGA fan of mysteries:)
