Posted By Elisa On 27th February 2006 @ 17:38 In rankism at work | No Comments

A Penn State University study shows that academics [1] minimize or hide caregiving commitments in order to avoid negative career consequences. This reveals that academics assume family obligations will activate employer bias against their careers and that employees actively maneuver to prevent employers from perceiving their family obligations. This is a sad and sobering comment on the state of work-life balance in the U.S.
