Let's work from home when the kids are sick, thank you great company that I am allowed to slave away for you while taking care of my sick kid! It isn't even a US company it seems.
Edit: guess I should have posted to unpopularopinions instead!
I just wanted to add I cut off the photo of the person on purpose. She is posting that with her sick child in her lap and that photo has been taken by some other person, not a selfie. If you are not feeling that the content of the post is bad, you hopefully still agree that presenting your sick child in an almost professionally looking photo to the world for LinkedIn clout is not great.
Am I taking crazy pills or are people actually saying this is a good thing?
Jesus fucking christ you people are so dependent on the system you literally can't even comprehend the fact that nobody should need to be working when there's a higher priority like family.
Make all the "oh but they're easy to take care of/if the person wants to work/the company is a good one for this" coping excuses you need to feel good about how shitty working lives have become, I guess.
Don't bother responding if you're going to make more excuses why "this is good/okay", you're speaking to a wall.
It seems a controversial topic, I didn't think so either but here we are.
American liberals are so fucking brainwashed they don’t even see the insanity of their posts. You can see it with the CHUD brigade rolling through this post.
You know, it’s considered completely normal to take paid time off to take care of sick relatives in other developed countries? And it doesn’t affect their entire month of paid time off to use for recreation?
Why are y’all so proud of being slaves?
Sick days shouldn't exist. You or a dependent is sick? Don't come in. Such a simple concept
Don't be the enemy of better in pursuit of total perfection.
I'm fortunate enough to have a good enough job that my wife didn't need to work while taking care of our children. That said, after a while, she got restless and sought out WFH opportunities. It turns out, spending all day with a screaming child is stressful, and being able to switch gears and feel productive is helpful.
We don't know this woman's situation, whether she needs to work to pay the bills, or chooses to work because taking care of a child full time is a different kind of stressful. At the end of the day, it should be the woman's choice if she works.
