This entry from the WSJ's excellent Blog, The Juggle, proves it! Carol Bartz, the new CEO of Yahoo!, says so, and provided amplifying details in an interview she did with people at More magazine.
The sad thing is, Carol and More magazine focused solely on the work-life balance issues as experienced by women in the workplace. That's probably a result of More magazine's core audience, which I assume to be working women over the age of 40. I know I've never heard of it before today.
Not enough people either give credit to or think about the working men who experience the same types of work-life balance issues that I wrote about previously. Maybe our society still expects (or practically insists) its fathers be absentee Dads, slaves to the workplace in order to provide a solid home for our families. If a father requests consideration when it comes to work day hours, flexible leave schedules, or the use of the Family Leave Medical Act (FMLA), you can be sure that guy will get put on the "Daddy Track" at work, soon to be left behind promotion-wise by his peers.
It's a crying shame.
