Rounding up this week’s Across TheCelebrityCafe.com Universe, SAHMAnswers.com discusses whether women in their 30s are burning out in the workplace after an article published by Forbes Women blew up across the blogosphere with comments and thoughts on the subject. Forbes Women contributor Larissa Faw writes, “Do I really have it all, and what does that even mean?” and explores the reasons why so few women hold senior level management positions. According to McKinsey research, today, women hold 53 percent of corporate entry-level jobs, 37 percent of mid-management positions and 26 percent are vice presidents and senior managers. Barbara and Shannon Kelley, from The Huffington Post Women, don’t find these numbers surprising because it has been widely published that men hold more high positions and they tend to make more money than women regardless of their position. In her Forbes article, Faw provides her reasoning for this. “It seems relaxation is something millennial women have never experienced. One reason that women are burning out early in their careers is that they have simply reached their breaking point after spending their childhoods developing well-rounded resumes,” said Faw. Kelley raised an interesting question: “Thing is, for this newest generation of twenty (or thirty) somethings and the rest of us who’ve been bred on perfection and raised with the mantra that the sky’s our limit, well, with everything on the menu, could it be that, no matter what the routine, once something becomes routine, we’re doomed to be just not that into it anymore?” What do you think?
