  Text Box: Original Source and Passage Golway, Terry. “Rewriting the Old Rules.” Perspectives on Contemporary Issues. 5th ed. Katherine Anne Ackley. Boston: Wadsworth, 2009. 640-43. Print. Despite the historic entry of millions of women into the workforce, the workplace rules and traditions that men enforce and celebrate have not been repealed. The hoary custom of measuring one’s dedication, value and, yes, toughness by the number of hours logged per week hasn’t changed. And managers still shake their heads disapprovingly when, in the phrase of one former colleague, a “clockwatcher” begins packing up at 5 p.m. The clockwatcher might have children who need help with homework, or an aged parent to care for, or an anniversary to celebrate. Under the rules of the macho workplace, however, those who let such considerations get in the way of all work, all the time, are considered slackers. (641-42)

What these historians will say about the impact of women in the workforce, however, remains to be seen. At the moment, it would be fair to argue that women have not changed the American workplace as much as the workplace has changed women. Take law, for example. Even with women pouring into law firms across the country, the macho culture of the partner track remains undisturbed. Young men and women still are obliged to perform high-end penal servitude if they wish to become partners at a white-shoe, big-city law firm. Yes, they get paid startling amounts of money—first-year associates in New York during the recently departed boom were commanding salaries approaching six figures—but they are expected to work absurd hours. It is the law culture’s equivalent of boot camp, except that the military puts its new recruits through only a few months of terror, while the fresh-faced associate can expect to spend his or her 20’s living and breathing for the firm and the firm alone. At the end, of course, there are no guarantees. Those long hours and work-filled weekends may be for naught, at which time an associate had best look for work elsewhere. Not to make any sweeping generalizations, but only a man could have come up with so ruthless a scheme. (641)
