Just give them a child care. What could it cost? $800 a year?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More like $10,000 per year.

(That's the gag. The article talks about an annual $800 travel/child care/wellness allowance like it's the solution to this non-problem.)

While certainly better than nothing, that wouldn’t cover a month of child care for us so going back to the office is not an option for me. The good news is that my company doesn’t even have an office in my state but I did hear they want people near their locations to start going in a few days a week. I never thought my company would be one of “those” types of organizations but alas they all are.

Haha phew, thanks Mr. CEO! That should cover 1-2 weeks of daycare.
