In Reply To: a union organizer. I'm not going to tell you anything about me or my circumstances, other than to say I'm very effective at what I do. Why in the world do you have 3 kids? You say you're in the news business, do you watch the NEWS? Have you been hearing about a little thing called "OVERpopulation"? What are you, a breeding bunny? Do you realize how much more it costs a company to provide health insurance for dependants? Why don't you get a 9-to-5 job as a secretary somewhere? Your baggage just weights down the industry.
Message: in our shop person who works most hours weekly=parent. person who slacks most often=childless single. work ethic's the issue much more than whether they have passed on their dna. i must say it's the ones with the hot dates chomping to get out the door after the show much more than the ones with loving families all secure n safe at home. won't hold it against the singles tho.
