*sigh* I probably shouldn't even post about this, but I'm going to. Some of you know I co-own a small group of fitness centers. I stuck my neck out a while ago and hired a young woman (while she was pregnant no less) to be a manager at one of our locations. She had a great resume, great experience, was a great interview, etc. Ended up hiring her...well, she's now quitting because her young baby has been sick a lot, and she needs a job with "benefits and paid time off". We're a small company so we can't really afford to give much in the way of benefits. I have been very flexible with her in terms of giving her off when she needs it, schedule flexibility,e tc. It's understandable, but just frustrating. It will make me much more reluctant to hire people in her situation in the future.
