At any rate, because I did a lot of writing in the marketing department, I was put in charge of preparing our submission. As I wrote phrases like: "Clusters of comfortable chairs are placed all around the building encouraging impromptu social breaks," all I could think of was how one of the managers seemed to be scrutinizing the comings and goings of all the pregnant employees to make sure we weren't taking extra time for frivolous events like prenatal appointments.<BR/><BR/>I still hang my head in shame.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567374243896229606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-61100124311434184092007-10-01T13:01:00.000-04:002007-10-01T13:01:00.000-04:00People living in glass houses probably shouldn't s...People living in glass houses probably shouldn't send stones, is what I'm thinking. <BR/><BR/>To think that benefits to women can be defined by such things as knitting classes (why not weight lifting?) rather than flexibility and opportunity is kind of silly.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009988766976677275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-31342734611840814172007-10-01T12:54:00.000-04:002007-10-01T12:54:00.000-04:00Actually, I can answer your question about the adv...Actually, I can answer your question about the advertisers. Sort of. I used to work at the magazine and once (thank god only once; other years I just helped) I ran that whole project. At least during my tenure, the list was kept far far away from the ad sales staff. They wanted it desperately but we did not give it up. So the advertisers were quite often those who had APPLIED to be on the list, but the list was derived without influence from the ad sales team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-53619740459464811972007-10-01T12:11:00.000-04:002007-10-01T12:11:00.000-04:00Uh, shatter the glass ceiling?Is the "breaking bar...Uh, shatter the glass ceiling?<BR/><BR/>Is the "breaking barriers" thing engraved on it or does it have some other message?niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.com
