“Sandberg has been accused of blaming women for not advancing more quickly, of being blind to the realities of the average working woman (she stands to gain $1.6bn in the Facebook stock market launch). But this is a narrow reading of the situation. If Sandberg is watching over Facebook’s maternity leave policy, the receptionist has as much to gain from that as Sandberg does. If women want the future to contain fewer energy-draining meetings and a more family-friendly workplace, we need more women to make it to Sandberg’s level. Not just for her benefit, but for the millions of women who have a lot less power to make demands. You need women at the top to remake the workplace in their own image.”
