I’ve been at this company for nearly a decade. My career with this institution will be marked “before that call” and “after that call.”
Before, I was content. I wanted to work hard. I liked my job. I had utmost respect for the CEO based on personal interactions.
Then there was after.
After the shock, I cried tears of frustration and rage. The return-to-work strategy is damaging to women. Namely mothers.
I’m embarrassed to work here. I’m ashamed that I add value to an organization run by a wealthy, mediocre, white, man in an ivory tower.
Knowing what I know now. The idea of returning to the stress of my life in 2020 is unfathomable. No job is worth that. Fortunately, there are plenty of open roles in my field that are interested in paying for my brain – not for my physical body in a cubicle.
This company will not only lose me as a long-time employee, but also as a customer and shareholder over this.
I don’t do business with companies that don’t support women.
