It’s a business. It’s a job. Do your job.
Family is more important than any job, as such.
“EARLY” in my military career, there was a saying, “If the Army wanted you to have a wife and baby it would have issued you them”. Another saying, was “You need to be there at the launch, but not at the delivery”.
Most every job I know of will allow a spouse time off to visit a loved one in the hospital during an emergency situation. Even more so if it’s the wife giving birth. At least this was so in the old days before this ugly thing we have called “abortion” that has so cheapened life.
If he has a great season it will be forgotten. If he has a mdeiocre season it will be cited as an example of his lack of commitment when letting him go.
In this particular job you get several months off to bond with your babies.
Your attempt to bring abortion into this is laughable.
Well Murphy’s being there didn’t appear to make a difference in yesterday’s game. The NY sports crowd are fanatics, possibly on par with Philly.
None of our business. None of Boomer’s business either. If a fan doesn’t like it, find another team.
His job allows for 3 days off for paternity leave. I fail to see how it is anyone's business.
Ask the poster.
Don’t forget Bommer’s vitriol toward Tebow. There is some darkness in his soul. I guess we all have some darkness, but his is on full display.
Amen....
When my daughters were born in 65 & 68 I wasn’t really allowed to be anywhere near, I worked and stayed at work, visiting in the evening.
I also advised my ‘young laborers’ later on that when they wanted ‘extra time off’ because their lady was pregnant, my advice was ‘Son, now is the time you want to start chalking up the overtime, not missing work and the pay that goes with it’.
We actually have a ‘LAW’ that mandates 2 weeks for the male?
Guess I am among the ‘uninformed’ but why would someone that works seasonal work (say Baseball announcers) be given ‘vacation or leave or whatever they call it anymore’ in the middle of July?
When I was in the Paving business, NO ONE even dreamed of taking time off in the Summer...and that was in Virginia, where we shut down from mid Nov to Mid March except for ‘emergencies’.
We had ‘paid holidays and paid vacations’. Show up for work on the 4th of July and you will have a paid holiday.
Designate ANY 2, 3 or 4 weeks in the summer as your vacation, and as long as you are at work, you will have your paid vacation.
Let’s see if baseball is standing next to him when he is at the end of his life, Boomer. I think it is called living life with no regrets!
I say good for him.
Boomer is an idiot.
I know a business owner who has some branches of his company in Canada. His guys there are legally entitled to five weeks of paternity leave at 70% pay. Each and every one takes advantage of it. He knows they are spending it out on the golf course and not changing diapers. Drives him nuts!
We was always a jerk, even back when he played for the Bengals.
I hope Boomer and Craig never plan on taking a sick day unless they’re barfing up blood.
