'Family friendly', 'work/life balance' etc are increasingly being used in Australia as weasel statements effectively saying "Men need not apply", invariably for safe, secure clerical and office jobs where females have never been under-represented.

Could this 'Quest Retail Technologies' or 'Radiant Systems' or whatever else they call themselves be added to the Boycott List?
