In a society where people had even the tiniest trace of compassion or concern for those around them, this wouldn't be happening. <BR/><BR/>In European countries, mothers can take off up to a year and their employers are legally required to hold their jobs and provide them with pay (though not always their full pay). <BR/><BR/>I hope that, pending the results of this next presidential election, some things in this country might change.BrightBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002463263474418737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510983690984910.post-84735420176311842592008-05-02T19:16:00.000-05:002008-05-02T19:16:00.000-05:00Yeah, the managing editor position would be almost...Yeah, the managing editor position would be almost entirely from home, other than meetings and PR stuff. The thing is, losing all my benefits would hurt and I wouldn't make more so I'd technically be making less --COBRA is so expensive! I've gone without before, too, but I can't do that now. <BR/><BR/>I still can't decide.Electronic Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161775422936225445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510983690984910.post-51763588274713023042008-05-02T18:17:00.000-05:002008-05-02T18:17:00.000-05:00Would the managing editor position allow you to wo...Would the managing editor position allow you to work from home more than 2 days a week? COBRA sucks. I have gone that route before, and also gone without insurance when I couldn't afford the COBRA premiums. Not with a babe, though. That sucks.BerryBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688522956177325844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510983690984910.post-6662759438375134902008-05-01T08:06:00.000-05:002008-05-01T08:06:00.000-05:00This sucks.

It doesn't have to be forever and if you have another baby in the next few years you know what to expect. When you are ready or kids are in school perhaps you can try for a different position there or go elsewhere?Momma Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082502507626151251noreply@blogger.com
