:wtf:
so - clearly they are not interested in the views of women who are not freaking RICH. I find this event and its ridiculous pricetag to be just a wee bit out of touch with the reality of life for most folks.
I admit it - this email annoyed the bejeesus out of me.
Maybe I am just too touchy, having been given a letter stating that I can choose to give up my job voluntarily or face the possibility of being one of the folks getting laid off involuntary...

1. It's not really a conference |
|
It's a fundraising event.
