Dear Liz,
I am in the process of looking for a job. I am at a different stage in my life and I am not looking for a job that requires over 40 hours per week or for a new position that is undefined. I want something where I can go in each day, enjoy the people that I work with, and what I do and have the least amount of stress possible. How can I find out what the hiring manager’s expectation is regarding the numbers of hours per week that people are expected to work without coming right out and asking the question.
Thanks for your help.
Laura

I was one week into my job at a new company and had already scored the CEO to accompany me to lunch with a reporter from the daily paper. As she was very obviously pregnant, I asked if this was her first child and when she was due. She was happy to share her good news and I thought to myself, “Great, she’s engaged, she’s comfortable, this is going to be a productive meeting.” All of that crumbled, however, as the CEO leaned into the table, looked into her eyes, and ever so sincerely asked, “How long have you been married?"
