For a lack of empathy - not for overtly being a sexist jerk!

What she was doing is illegal, not just insensitive. It makes me ill.

'Now I know who I am. I’m mother who can manage a large team from my home office or on a business trip, raise money, and build a culture for women to succeed. I’ve never been more productive, satisfied and excited about my future and my daughter’s. I wish I had recognized this years ago.

For that, I’m sorry to all the mothers I used to work with. Which brings me back to that managing editor I dissed at Time. Her name is Cathy Sharick and she has three kids. The deal never went through for a variety of reasons that included editorial fit, but we started talking six months ago. Cathy recently joined PowerToFly as our Executive Editor. She has taught me a lot about how to be more productive than I was before motherhood. I’m now looking for more Cathys to join PowerToFly because I know they can manage households, multiple schedules and very high business goals.'

Every Rogue feels contrition when the knife is at THEIR throat.

but I'm a bit suspicious when her timing coincides with a business venture designed to exploit the talents of the very women she used to diss.

I'd also like to know how she was raised, that she felt the need to feel superior to working women with children. That's such 1970s thinking for a millenial.

She's been getting a lot of brown warm fuzzies, but at least one woman exec with kids said it rang hollow for her too:

"I downplay being a mom at work every day because I'm a fairly private person but also because women (and men) like Katharine Zaleski have created an atmosphere where parenthood could literally keep me from getting my next job.

More effective but less splashy would have been personally apologizing to all the women she discriminated against and helping place them in great positions. But Zaleski's got a company she wants to promote. So an apology is now a convenient press play.

Not that she seems to care about public perception. She was admittedly "horrible" as a 28-year-old and bent on sabotaging other women, now she says she pities young women and has designated herself supermom and job fairy to working mothers. So the world still revolves around Zaleski's perception of right and wrong, she's just swapped targets."
