Working mothers considered best managers

If you are a mother with a young child, you’re probably doing most of the caretaking at home. If you have a career as well, and you go back to work, the workload triples. Some workers think working mothers are not as productive or dedicated as other workers. But, according to the Chicago Tribune, working moms are actually better managers than men or women who don’t have kids. The reason is that women with kids interact better, handle crisis better and are apparently more appealing to those they supervise. About 70 percent of people said they would prefer to work for a mother. So, there is obviously a strong belief that women who are mothers have the best skill set. The No. 1 reason in the story is that working mothers aren’t out late, partying, so they don’t come in hung over and unfit to work. Christa, Clark’s executive producer and a working mother, thought that was comical. She said it was probably because of reason No 2, that women who are mothers are better time managers because they have to be. Whatever the reason, way to go Moms!

This week's poll
NYC health inspectors have been handing out violations to chain restaurants that don't post calorie counts on their menus. What's your take on this?
I believe in what the inspectors are doing. Long live the food police.
This isn't a legitimate function of gov't-paid employees.
I couldn't care less. I'd be eating at home to save money!
