or "Nah, she'll prbably do what Sam done and ask to go part time 'cos of the kids. Not interested in all that boIIoxs".
The sad thing is....they're not even trying to be ironic.
What's even sadder...I can kinda see where they are coming from. In a small business you don't want to spend money on resources and training just for them to bugger off in a year on maternity leave. In fact, the laws inforced on businesses actually hinders women as employers as so terrified of womens "Rights", they just avoid empoying them.
It's a mans world. Always has been, always will be. NEXT....!
