The most loyal employees ever are working moms with good bosses —
And so for him, I hired a nanny who could come with me when I needed to travel for work, even though paying for that extra flight and hotel room was a crazy strain on my budget. For him, I flew out my mother to meet me on assignment so that I could pump and pass off the baby in between deadlines and still perform on demand.
Of course, I’ve had bad bosses, too. There’s the one who called me, with his boss on a conference call, in my last week ofmaternity leave with baby no. 2 to tell me that the job I was leaving wouldn’t be the one I’d have when I came back. He demoted me just as I was psyching myself up to, throwing me to the wolves of uncertainty when I was hoping for a flying start.
There are the bosses who demand overtime with little notice, who blink unsympathetically when travel is a challenge and who have no sympathy for sick days and school plays. In all the mommy blogs, parenting journals and, yes, business pages, there is angst and drama over highly qualified, highly trained, experiencedThe population is aging, the boomers are retiring, and somehow women aren’t catching up with men in terms of pay, top jobs and promotions.
For me, the bad bosses never lasted that long—or, at least, they only lasted as long as I could stand. The fear and uncertainty of working for an unsympathetic manager always made me work harder toward the exit, toward somewhere better and safer. To higher ground. Word of mouth and my solid reputation as a hard worker and high performer assured me of the next job and the next, even when bad bosses grumbled about shorter hours and unanswered emails when the baby was sick.
with two kids, there is no chance that I’ll stop working or parenting, and my double-income, married friends are in the same boat. Even if we could afford it, many moms simply don’t want to give up their careers—they just want a little room to breathe. And, because I had my kids late in life, it seems fairly likely that the rest of my working years will be parenting years. From now on, there will be sick days when I’m not the one who is sick.
