Working moms are busy, exhausted, and don't really have time for pointless meetings. Still, corporate America is full of them! Since we work to support our families we want to make as much money as possible. For that reason, even though we may hate meetings, we do need to excel at them.Too often working women are not heard in meetings
Every working woman I know has participated in a meeting and struggled to be heard. They make a suggestion that falls on deaf ears. Later a man makes the same suggestion and people act like he discovered water. It is frustrating, maddening, and most unfair. More importantly, as working moms, we don't have time for that. We work at a great sacrifice because we lose time with our kids.
