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.
Sick time/days should not exist. Staying home when you or a dependent is sick should be the norm not the exception. Why is that such an insane thought? I fucken hate touching people’s computers when they’re snotty as fuck. Likewise, I’m sure they don’t like me doing it when my own health is visibly worse.
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?
Im so angry, you dang kids and your work-from-home! Back in my day…
Fundamentally I agree that work shouldn’t need to be a priority in this situation if the individual doesn’t want it to be, but this is like basically the optimal scenario. I wish more companies respected their employees’ time and strictly valued results over the appearance of business.
It is a great attitude, yes. Some people actually enjoy work and do work of meaning. Some people also love their kids and want to be there for them. Some companies treat their employees with respect.
These are not things to shit on
This is a perfect example of perfection being the enemy of good.
Allowing, even encouraging, employees to work from home in order to temporarily care for a sick child is a good thing. The complainers must work somewhere that when you take off from work, someone else just comes along and does all your work for you. Needless to say, that’s a rarity and also sucks for your coworkers.
