“As she described it, the firm will pay $1,200 for women to freeze their eggs for one year (not the best coverage on the Street for something that can cost tens of thousands of dollars); after that, the employee kicks in $100 a month. The real benefit, however, is how going through with the procedure (again, not without possible complications) demonstrates organizational loyalty.
“’Everybody knows this is what you need to do to show management you are committed to the company and that you will push off having a family many years down the road,” she said.’”
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”
