It takes courage... (Score 1)

Just a thought... Diana Abdala was at least honest. Think how much harm she could have done to both herself and the law firm that wanted to hire her if she had suppressed her feelings and just signed on? As an software development team leader, one of the main things I try to do when recruiting people if find which ones would really love to work with me on the project at hand and which ones are just there for the money and would have no passion for what they were doing. For whatever reason, she was honest enough to own up. (How many of you have someone in a team you work with who doesn't really want to be there, and what is it like working with them?). Oh Thank Goddess! Sure, she had her parents to fall back on and the finances to start her own practice, but it still takes some courage to burn your bridges like that. And her independance and quality of life is something she believes in. And she is willing to go against social norms to do what she believes in. So what we have here is a lawyer who is HONEST, has at least some type of PRINCIPLES, and the COURAGE to stand by them... And then on slashdot she is CRITICIZED? I'm so surprised...
