It absolutely does. If you have 2 employees and 1 works from home due to kids. All of a sudden the other guy gets butt hurt cuz he wants to work from home now you have to accommodate the asshole that wants to work from home so he can sleep in.
Can you explain why the childless employee is an asshole in this scenario?
Because breeders feel entitled, and they resent anyone who has a better life than them because they didn't reproduce
why can't they both work from home if they both have the same position?
how does the other guy working from home nagatively affect the parent?
if your answer is "because then the parent has to go in", then they don't have the same position
either the position allows for wfh, or it doesn't.
That’s exactly what I’m telling you. You are under the impression that work is fair in the US. That is not the case. The position isn’t relevant.
you are under the impression everyone here is from the US
But that’s not taking anything from the one that has kids. They still get to work from home
Can you explain how allowing both employees to work remotely "means taking that flexibility from parents"? Also, why do you characterize people who want to work remotely as assholes? This reads like you have some kind of personal animosity you're expressing here rather than a considered opinion based in something legitimate.
How do you know the worthless parents aren't sleeping in? What's this assumption that suddenly they're responsible adults because they popped out a kid? That's not guaranteed, I'll tell you that.
I'd argue they're less responsible if they're popping kids out left and right without being prepared for it financially or thinking of the childrens' well-being. But, as it is.
Funny. I was thinking about how I'd like a dog but I know it would strain my finances and I don't have the space for it so I have employed this radical strategy called "not spending money I don't have."
If more humans put that thought in before making other humans willy nilly, we would be in a utopia.
We shouldn't be bringing unwanted people into the world.
I have 6 figures available to spend on credit cards right now, but that money isn't mine and I'd have to pay to borrow it which is COMPLETELY unsustainable as an ongoing cost to maintain a pet. 10 years ago, that would've been pretty dangerous. Now I've got much more self control and foresight to understand what will happen if I carry balances.
