Top 100 companies for working moms

WTF??!!!

I was just browsing MSN.com, Yeah, I know, a very breederific wesite. It just so happens to be our webpage. Blech. I came upon this pieice today. It will be vomit inducing.

Isn't that also the list of "Top 100 Firms where I won't be Working"? <img src="/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

I don't like the quote ,"This country needs women to have babies". Sounds like something from The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood -- we have to breed for society's sake! Most people aren't thinking that when they're making kids (even the parent-not-breeders). Again, the whole entitlement thing...we're breeding for mankind. Frankly, I think some of the people in our society would do mankind a bigger favor by NOT having kids!

Just because they meet requirements makes me wonder how many actually work there. That would be a more interesting stat to look at. Percentage of working moms to men. And the quote about "this country . . ." I can't believe a woman said that. Because, you know, there aren't enough people already taxing the environment and its resources. What a dip s h i t!

Eh. I'd rather know who's family friendly and who provides benefits to life-partners. But that's me.

Maybe all the moms will go find a spot with one of these companies...

Wishful thinking.

Truthfully, I have no problem with the idea of being "family friendly" as long as it's equal opportunity and my family counts just as much as anyone else's - meaning my furry or extended family. Luckily, my current company is pretty flexible about leaving for appts, be they dentist, vet or pediatrician. I don't know how I'd feel about on site daycare or breastfeeding lounges, though. That would be a little creepy to me.

[color:"darkred"]"This country needs women to have babies". WTF ever.
That is yet another perfect prime example of how kid centric our society is. They should instead make birth control covered by insurance and CHEAP! They should also push for birth control onto people so they can cut the [censored] and have people get their act togther!!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/angel.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

WE ARE OVERPOPULATED ENOUGH AS IT IS!!!! HAVE YOU SEEN THE TRAFFIC JAMS ALL ACROSS OUR NATION IN THE CITIES???? IT'S HERENDOUS!!!!! i.e. TOO MANY PEOPLE!!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

That would be why we should push not only for birth control, but only .1 kids per household, but not for everyone, only those who think they have to reproduce for some damn reason. <img src="/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

Now I know which companies are full of [censored]. <img src="/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />[/color]

Yep, stuff like paid maternity leave turns me off. Now, if they offer same-sex-partner benefits and a health insurance that covers birth control...then they're cool in my book!

Ew. One of those companies is in my hometown. Another one is where my ex's mom works (that one's also on the list of "best companies to work for" according to Fortune 500, it's probably on there because of fantastic mommy opportunities, gag me). Luckily none of them are anywhere I've ever considered working.

[color:"darkred"] Websites like The Hunger Site, and The Rainforest Site, are signs that are earth isn't holding up to peoples stupidity. There are hungery people, the rainforest looses acrege due to people not deciding to stop reproducing ect. It's sad really.[/color]

And y'know, I don't even so much blame the women in third-world countries who don't have access to birth control or who live in a society where their worth is measured by how many children they have or something...it's the women who know full well what they are doing and simply must have ten kids anyway that p-i-s-s me off so much*. The people who think it's their "right" to reproduce just because they want to and don't care who or what it screws over.

The truth is, the government SHOULD be encouraging less, because too many people is NOT good for the economy--look at how many people are out of work or underemployed in the U.S., look at how low wages have gotten and how high standards have gone because employers know workers are a dime a dozen and getting desperate enough to do anything for ANY money. It's ridiculous. How can it be good for the economy when you have to have four years of experience and a degree to get paid $5.50 an hour to scrub toilets and can barely afford to pay the bills, let alone buy stuff?

I hate that people just keep reproducing. They see that there isn't enough housing space, and instead of saying "gee, maybe I'd better not add to this problem," they say "oh, I'll have seven kids, we can mow down a forest and make a subdivision to make room for them." Eventually I bet Mother Nature is going to strike back with another big pandemic that'll kill off a significant portion of the population just so this planet can survive. And all these people....who would rather see their kids die of some disease than not have them in the first place. Sad.

Only problem is, it'll be my luck: *I'll* be the one to die from such a disease and the breeders, like cockroaches after nuclear holocaust, will come out unscathed and more fertile than ever.

*Get a grip, BellaOnline. F*ck this "censored" BS, yet another example of how kid-centered this society is (most message boards say "no swearing" because "there might be children present." F*ck that, man). Anyone who's too young to see the word "p-i-s-s" or "c-r-a-p" is WAY too young to be on the 'net. I mean, come on; I was swearing by the time I was 11 or 12, and that's younger than the legal age to post on message boards, for heaven's sake.

Katja: Holy shi t!! Thanks for the morning laugh!!

Now that is definitely something I'd say. And about the censored nonsense? Just do what I do and conveniently depress your f ucking space bar lol!!!

Fire (Still LMAO)!!!

This country needs women to have babies?! This country needs men to step up to the plate and bear a true half of the responsibility, and then we can talk. The term "working mom" makes me want to scream! You could be a lawyer, a doctor, a manager, etc before you have a kid, and then suddenly you are reduced to a "mom that also works."

What about the "working dads"??! What does this country need them to do?
