Dear Amy: It might be my profession that makes me a little salty, but I’m hoping that you can reframe or share some thoughts on this irritation.
Now for the reframing: We’re back! We’re back to overlooking our obvious lucky breaks , and are already starting to take for granted the simple privilege of being able to visit with, touch, hug and kiss one another.
Your burden is also your blessing: While others are whining about the long line at Starbucks, you are already fully awake and inhabiting your salty humanity.I’m a recently married woman in my mid-20s, looking for a new job. When I told the company that I was declining the job, I told them my reasons, as well as including a link to the EEOC about pregnancy discrimination, which included a recommendation to NOT ask that question in interviews. They responded with a general reply wishing me well in the future.Kidding aside, your choice to turn down this position was obviously a good one. Your follow-up was appropriate.
In the future, when you’re asked about your family planning in a job interview, you might respond: “I’m curious: Why do you ask?”
