Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change the world which yields most painfully to change.   Robert F. Kennedy, Speech at the University of Capetown, South Africa, Day of Affirmation, 6 June 1966

Facing A New Year Without Fear

 

As the sun shone above on a warm spring day nearly 10 years ago, a manager at a media company spouted off to me about everything she disliked about a former employee. Apparently, the ex-writer had to leave the office often to care for her child.

 

Needless to say, the conversation left me feeling uncomfortable, especially since I had applied for the woman’s writing job and was expecting a baby in a few months. I think somewhere in the job seekers’ guidelines, you’ll find a list of red flags – one being, “Watch out for companies that bash former employees.”
