Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture.

But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery.

We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B.

We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go.

In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉

Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.

Great analysis from @tghilarducci on the importance of paying attention to older workers: “out of 7.7 million workers expected to be added to the economy by 2031, 3.8 million will be workers older than 65.”

"The #pandemic did not introduce change, instead it brought once latent values and beliefs people held to the forefront reshaping today’s and tomorrow’s preferences and behaviors." @MIT_AgeLab's @josephcoughlin shows us how #Covid has reframed our lives. https://t.co/USq4kPE4xx

Ms. Opal Lee: If people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love. Be a committee of one. Please don't let what happened here in Vegas stay in Vegas. Share this with your companies!

@JohnnyCTaylorJr @SHRM Loved the opening number, really emotional to be back at an in person meeting during such unprecedented and historical times. Remembering 2001 when I was Chair and the 18 months we have only been able to connect on Zoom.
