  "account": "The headline \"Career Killer Mom: Why Women Earn Less at Work\" highlights the perceived disadvantages mothers face in the workplace. Despite the notion that mothers could be excellent leaders once they become parents, the reality seems to contradict this assumption. The article discusses how a mother's career progression is often hindered, starting from the period of parental leave. One example mentioned is of a friend who planned to return to work part-time, 80% of her previous hours, after a one-year parental leave. However, her employer attempted to terminate her contract, claiming she would no longer be able to perform her duties adequately. This situation raises questions about the treatment of women in the workforce upon returning from parental leave.",
