I’ll go even more blunt: Any job where having kids is “terrible for your career” is a terrible place to work. If you’re making parents choose between advancing their career or being there for their kids, you fucking suck. Don’t do that. 40h/week is plenty. Make them count.

Why it worked

Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
