"Not to, unfortunately. It was a good (but not great) place before the prior office manager passed away. Now, every success is a success for leadership. Every loss is a loss for the other person. It's not a fair environment and definitely not one where you can continue to grow and succeed. Working under a narcissistic manager is difficult for anyone to handle and it shouldn't be tolerated."

"Great leave benefits. Women are encouraged to take entirety of leave and encouraged to reintegrate after returning from leave at their own pace (within reason, of course)."

"There is some flexibility in that I can take off in the middle of the day for kid stuff, if needed. However, there is little to no flexibility in the sense of being able to negotiate internal deadlines. So if you have an unexpected issue arise, you will still be expected to meet internal deadlines, whether doing your work from a doctor's office or at home with the baby in one arm. To be clear, if this was a client or court deadline, that's understandable. But an internal deadline that can be pushed? Seems like we can be a little more flexible on that."
