    I can’t find the reference to her being employed for 9 years, but this one mentions the promised promotion and good reviews:

    Yeah, but men will say anything to women to keep them from crying.

    Here is a quote taken from the other article…her attorney speaking on her behalf. What a WONDERFUL mother

    “It’s very demoralizing for her, she perceives that her career is at a dead end,” Webbert said. “There’s nothing she can do about it. She can’t get rid of the triplets.”

    Glad she isn’t/wasn’t my mom.. What a great feeling to know that your career is more important than your kids. This all goes back to my original post and how correct it was.

    I don’t believe her working makes her a bad mom, but even if you do, that’s not what this case is about. This is about whether she was treated differently than a man would have been, NOT whether she’s a good mom or not. Even if she’s a bad mom, she should be treated fairly at work.

    GB, Thank goodness there are sensible people out there. This is all about being treated fairly at WORK. That is the main point to this article. For crying out loud. How about those single dads out there, and single moms. Good grief! There is a lot of pressure out there. She didn’t deserve this.
