Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in Lego

This is where I'll be tomorrow!

Sorry for the poor quality of this model I didn't have time to do it to scale or paint it.

LEGO Systems | Best Companies | WorkingMother.com

Lego named as one of top 100 best companies to work for, for moms!

(And probably anyone really!)

From the working mother website:

"2010 Working Mother 100 Best Companies:

Family-friendly benefits and programs that help keep working moms' careers on track have moved forward in the 25 years since the launch of Working Mother's first Best Companies list. Now Working Mother 100 Best Companies offer programs that help all employees with their struggles to gain some work-life balance. "

(^^The whole list)

www.workingmother.com/BestCompanies/100-best-companies/20...

(^^The Lego entry)

Its a short read but here are some highlights:

100% of employees say they are proud to work there.

"Primary caregivers who give birth or adopt a child get 26 job-guaranteed weeks off, with 13 fully paid; all secondary caregivers receive four weeks off, with two fully paid."

(Note, dads get paid time off too!)

Also an onsite fitness center(This is talking about the HQ in Connecticut) that includes a massage therapist. I've lost track of how many stressful days I've had where I wish I could get a massage after work!

50% of the work force is women.

Being a woman and lifelong fan of Lego I'm proud I can support a company that isn't evil!
