For many decades I’ve been in a fast paced business with lots of key employees (highly paid, some 6 figures). It hurts everything when one of those key people are gone for extended periods. I hire a lot of women, but no more for key positions. I have a couple who have had kids (2 each) over the last few years. One is always taking time to tend to her kids. This is a real business killer.
I hope you are very careful about what you are doing, and I assume you are if the salaries are in that range. Just sayin’.
