Worst business advice/best comeback
Posted by Diane Danielsonat 1:42 PM

From Businessweek's profile of Patricia Woertz, new CEO of Archer Daniels:

One of Woertz's first bosses told her that having kids would ruin her career. "Get yourself fixed," he said, "and put it on your expense report." At her retirement party one of her kids said: "I'm glad you didn't listen to him."

Happy Mother's Day to Patricia and the rest of the working moms of the world!
