Staffing service Adecco released a survey about working moms. What was surprising was that one-third of workers say they would be less likely to ask a working parent to work late. The implication is that there are some people who would ask non-parents to work late over a working parent. As a non-parent, I'd hate to get loaded up with extra work. And because working late sometimes means getting on challenging, deadline-intensive projects that could have career payoff, I'd hate to not be offered them just because I'm a working mom (if I was one).
