    Fathers seek more flexibility at work By Meg Richards, AP
    A Wake Forest University business professor found that men who take time off for family are generally viewed more negatively than women who do the same. In the study, 242 undergraduate students were given mock personnel files with resumes, job descriptions, performance evaluations and forms requesting time off under the Family Medical Leave Act.

    Male employees who took leave to care for a newborn or ailing parent were generally rated less favorably, said Julie Holiday Wayne, adjunct assistant professor of business. Male evaluators were toughest on male employees.
