So why stay for 10 years if it didnt meet her financial needs? She is responsible for kids. You just made a ton of excuses for a seemingly healthy woman to stagnate for 10 years.
I bet there are many more woman on boards now, men are greedy and woman are too smart to keep off.
My beef is the board member salaries and the aristocratic like membership.

Yes, some are figureheads for fund-raising, etc. Were they not accomplished in their own rights? Azzhat was saying that they did nothing, never worked as hard as the people working at McDs. My claim was that most people on boards have earned that position in some way.

Do you think she got paid the measly amount it was for showing up and hmm, drinking free Cokes, redoing her make-up in the Ladies, smoking outside the kitchen door?

Why? Maybe she never did anything more than just what she was asked and other employees worked harder and did more and earned their way up. I've seen plenty of people that never took any initiative, had an original idea, went out of their way to help someone else or do more, took every single sick day they were allowed. How do you know what her work ethic was?
I'm gonna just say that 1860's mentality of elbow grease being more Nobel than brain grease is hilarious.
Especially for a marginally educated person seeming to know working smarter pays more than working harder.
Yet no choice to work smarter.

Because that's the way the misogynists on this board roll. They'd rather talk about a woman's appearance and denigrate her than talk about the issue.
Prof. Baxter has it right - she's in a public forum, she's asking a question, she shouldn't get arrested. Most of the rest is just sexism rearing its ugly head again.

The dad's responsible for the kids, too. My point was that all I know about the situation is the 3-4 sentences in the newspapers, and I'm not going to judge her based on that.

I know, I couldn't believe it. Not only a really hefty salary but all expenses for the times they were in town and believe me, those people weren't picking up burgers to go at Mickey D's.

10 years is a long time to excuse. From her little speech it didnt sound like she took any responsibility for her choice or efforts in working there.

I don't know. But I don't automatically assume the worst, either.

Are you claiming that the majority of people serving on corporate boards did not work their way up in the world from an entry level job or by starting their own business?

I googled (imagine that, Big Money) and learned that she wasn't fired but her hours were cut.

You really are jumping to conclusions with that.
What we know based on the video is that she asked a question and got escorted out.

Nope. I am saying that they put self-interest first and that if they're on the board, their main interest is keeping the corporation viable. They're not bothering themselves with what the proles are making.

She was blaming them for paying her too little. If it was too little, she should have found another job. She didnt say, "oh I tried to become a manager and you didnt let me" or anything like that. She said they didnt pay her enough. She didnt claim that she did anything to earn MORE.
