Dear Amy: It might be my profession that makes me a little salty, but I'm hoping that you can reframe or share some thoughts on this irritation.
Dear Amy: It might be my profession that makes me a little salty, but I’m hoping that you can reframe or share some thoughts on this irritation.All most people could do was complain about how difficult this was. Being a nurse and manager of a medical unit, I obviously did not get to work from home. Nor did I have any “boring” days like so many people complained about.Now they’re complaining about having to go into an office a few times a month.
So let me start by removing from its case the world’s smallest violin and playing a plaintive tune for anyone who has the temerity to complain to a healthcare or service worker about the burdens of being called back into the office a few times a month. Recently, during an interview with a local private school, I was asked about my pregnancy plans. The question was if I had a “plan for balancing children with work.”I got offered the job but didn’t take it because of that question, as well as a “no pants” policy for women.
In the future, when you’re asked about your family planning in a job interview, you might respond: “I’m curious: Why do you ask?”
