If this isn't a troll then you are a complete douche.

That's my honest opinion.

On one hand, 'women' want equal pay and job prospects as men. However, (possibly different) 'women' also will happily take considerable liberties that a man is not able to - often never returning to work.
I've heard of cases where this has been the last straw that has bankrupted a small company due to the extra costs involved.

I'm definitely of the opinion that child birth should be taken more seriously and *planned* more than a hell of a lot of parents do.

Personally, I'll do my job and get my money at the end of the month. I've never found it a big problem to detach annoyance with work from the rest of life; providing I do get that money in my bank account at the end of the month, even if things aren't going as I'd like at work, the rest of my life shouldn't be affected.

Just one point... Marriage does not equal kids.

Everyone at my wifes work started goign on about how she'll be having kids next etc, and simply we dont want them.

I wouldnt mind the maternity leave tho.

She is a temp for a reason . . . you can sack her with no obligation and owe her nothing.

Its just unfortunate for you that the job she is covering takes almost 1/2 a year to train someone in. . . . .

I don't know of any jobs that takes that long to traain someone in!Perhaps from a management point of view this should have been thought about a long time ago.

Managing people well is not easy, I'm sure. Sounds like she is taking the pee a bit with all the 'I feel sick', perhaps she does, but again your not obliged ot keep her.

I just think, bad luck on this one.

[swanny]

if your covering maternity leave its a big of an unwritten rule not to get maternity whilst in it lol

That would be sexist but I agree. You cannot have equality when people are different.

I think it should be best person for the best job. If you want to hire a man because he won't fuck off after lots of expensive training there should be nothing stopping you.

nb. not saying all women piss of to have sproggs or that men stay in jobs longer.

Edit didn't really address the point

Congratulate her, you can't help feel like she wasted your time but you have not signed any contract and she is free to do has she pleased.

Well I suppose you could take it in the light that if it wasn't for women having babies, then there would be no up and coming workforce to join the ranks eventually, and let you retire at a reasonable age and start enjoying your life, rather than being stuck in a work - work cycle.

I think Hetzer hit the nail on the head and I've to agree with him. It's also not an easy situation to get out due to the reasons He described.

It's very easy to say "don't worry about it" but when something is programmed into you so deep, it becomes really difficult.

Spending a bit of a time with meditation, trying to think through the problems that're affecting you from different viewpoints might be useful sometimes. Once you realize and understand a few things (that many of your worries are not necessarily yours) it's easier to change - if you want to.

[Visitor Q]

Well, that's one way to slow population growth.

Stop maternity leave

I'm a genius

In all seriousness, it seems grossly unfair to me as a man that women are getting shoehorned in to higher jobs as part of a quota system, yet can then bugger off for a year at company expense... then come back at reduced hours.

Whereas blokes, to get to the same level, have to basically become a corporate bitch for the rest of their lives.

As G said, it can seriously tank small businesses.

I thought my work life balance was a bit out of whack with having to travel abroad a lot.

Now I'm glad I'm not Japanese.

If I could I wouldn't work at all. (edit) I don't mean in the scrounging benefits sense, I mean in the financially independent yacht in the med ten cars in the garage sense {edit}.
