Today

I am disgusted by how work has taken priority in our lives. Yes, I realise we work for a living, but it's becoming clearer that we are living for work. Today I am told about a question posed by an interviewer at a certain multi-national company.

She said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Do you plan to have children? Do you realise that many people who have children do not have the commitment at work. They have longer lunch hours, go home earlier and cannot put in the time for work."

This is clearly discrimination. How can our worth be judged by how much we can sacrifice for work?
