In reply to the discussion: Marissa Mayer under fire as she brings baby to personal nursery that she built next to her office [View all]Tallulah
(209 posts)36. I distinctly remember
interviewing for a job at the Fruit of the Loom plant many years ago and being asked if I had kids.
Before I had the chance to even answer I was told having no babysitter, having a sick child, was not an excuse to be absent from work.
Working hours were from 7 am to 5 pm and half a day on Saturday.
The place employed 3000 women. Childcare was not their problem.
Many women were either let go or quit because of their rule. Then the SOBs moved to Mexico and devastated the town forever.
To this day I refuse to buy Fruit of the Loom anything.
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer should be ashamed of herself.

Did you see that pic of her with the 10 Commandments tattooed on her lower back?

A corporation as big as this should provide onsite day care and the parents should pay for it.

one, there's a lot of advantages to being a CEO, but two, there are also responsibilities.
