Menopause Got Me Fired From My Son's Company

Summary

Bored of having nothing to do at home, I hide my identity and apply for a job as a designer at the company my son, Jonathan Grady, runs.

A few months later, I'm informed that the company wants to optimize its workforce, and I'm the first to get axed.

"Why?"

"Because you're menopausal. You can't get pregnant."

Hearing that makes me scoff. What kind of absurd reason is that?

"A designer uses her brains to do her job, no? When did a womb become so important?"

I point at Sasha Johnson, who'd been hired before me and was now sitting at her desk, snacking on popcorn instead of working.
