What I found even more interesting was that she was catching flak for only being out for two weeks. The complaint was that she was not being a good role model for women in the work place, but I personally thought she was showing what a strong important woman does in this situation and that she should not be held to a salary employee needs. Obviously she can afford to get back to work where salary women have different needs, in fact she recently made changes that pays salary women more on baby leave time and I think she increased the time, but not sure.

BTW news this morning that Marrisa Mayer of Yahoo was paid $36.6 Million for her first 6 months on the job, and she had a baby too. Now that is a role model.
