Top 100 Employers for Moms

The company Working Mother released its annual "top 100 places for moms to work" list, and no companies from Texas, or many based in the south, were on the list.
It's a little surprising that none on the list were from Texas.
Do Texans still expect their working women to working women and their moms to be moms.
Maybe its a southern thing.
"Chained to the stove, pregnant and close to sink is how I like 'em."
That must be a statment that stands out from all the white, male business owners in Texas, who like things the way they used to be.

My wife's maternity leave is crappy. Six whole weeks to recuperate and enjoy those first precious moments with a newborn. And they are all unpaid.
When I asked my HR director if Scripps Howard, the newspapers parent company, offered paternal leave, she chuckled.
What kind of 21st century do we live in.

You don't really know the roadblocks of a person's situation until you're there. You never really plan for everything, so some stuff is going to smack you in the kisser.

I read in the report from Working Mother that IBM offers mother up to 144 weeks of maternal leave. HOLY COW!!!!

That's one heck of a vaction. Way to Go IBM. I wonder if that offered leave is paid?
