Something very disturbing was announced today at WAHM.com, a site I have been recommending for years. WAHM.com, originally conceived and owned by Cheryl Demas, was created as a resource for moms looking to work from home. Over the years it was built into a terrific Web site with a valuable informational forum where WAHMs could communicate with one another, share leads, talk about business and life. Ms. Demas (whom I do not judge one bit for making the decision that was right for her) sold the business to Internet Brands, and internet media company.
Today WAHM.com announced that one of its long-time employees (who worked faithfully from home for years for WAHM) was being let go because they are bringing the position "in house." As far as I am concerned this is typical corporate America bovine excrement. It is the height of hypocrisy. The entire purpose and mission of WAHM.com is to promote working from home and give people resources to find ways to work from home. Why in the WORLD would a company make a decision to go against everything the Web site stands for by taking a job in house which can easily be done from home and has been successfully done from home by this employee for years? It makes no sense.
So, unless this course of action is changed I am removing my recommendation to use their site.

Thank you so much for this information! I was unaware of this. I am also a WAHM and refer to the WAHM.com site often. It just doesn't make sense.
Oh, Man! I certainly understand her reasons for selling ($) but it is definitely sad. WAHM was around when I first started searching for telecommuting possibilities back in '97 & '98 and I never dreamed it would get snatched up by anyone other than other WAHMs. ;)
That is really sad! It is too bad when a business is sold and turns against its roots. Thank you for passing along this info.
I feel sad for what had happened to the long-time employees of WAHM.com. Thanks for the information by the way.
