Aha! Found a good wedge issue to divide people! Now let’s push it to create dissatisfaction. Then we can blame it on Trump!

And the parents would get upset about having to deal with their own children. Isn’t that what schools and juvenile courts are for?

As a young single officer in the Navy, I shared this resentment [housing, duty on Christmas, New Year, etc., etc.] and then I grew up. Children are the future of our civilization and they need parents [as current demographic issues demonstrate]. And parenting requires a lot of extra work, cost, etc. That Corvette you could afford when you were single goes to the college tuition kitty, etc.

It wasn’t long before employees without children started to ask: What about us?


Facebook, was very sensitive to those concerns and assured them that those, “Workers with children”, would be required to take classes on “Critical Race Theory”. They went further to alleviate their other concerns and have instituted a mandatory program for “Workers with Children” on how and why they should “Eat their Kids” to save the planet.

That has to be illegal. What a scam. The childless folks should sue the company. My wife and I raised 4 kids and would be embarrassed by this. It’s bad enough we get huge financial breaks from the government.

If both parents were not working, it wouldn’t be an issue.

People need to stop living above their means.

“the policy seemed to put parents’ needs ahead of theirs.”

If the employer offered 6 paid weeks to work with children - say, volunteering at a pediatric ward - I wonder how many of these whiners would take it.

If we did not force mothers out of the home this would not be an issue.

I’m childless and I don’t begrudge this new policy. God forbid parents actually make their own children a priority.

The single employees can start producing children, if they feel the policies are unfair.

I was talking to a purchasing agent for a customer last week. She was saying the resentments brewing in their company, is between stay at home employees and those who have to be on site.

Its college education vs non college education.

This ought to be an interesting thread.

As someone who has seen the inside of the corporate world from entry level to executive management, I can sympathize with these childless employees.

I never understood why companies began adopting this silly, paternalistic attitude where they treat their employees like children. If you're getting paid to work, then go to work. Giving out "paid time off" to a select group of employees is a recipe for disaster.

As companies wrestle with how best to support staff during the pandemic, some employees without children say that they feel underappreciated, and that they are being asked to shoulder a heavier workload.

That's because they are - every regular employee who takes time off means more work for the other regular employees. If parents are given additional time off, employees without kids should be given exactly the same amount of time off.

“A question that we might ask the employees who are feeling some frustration about their co-workers being on leave is what do you think is going to happen if that person quits?” she said. “You’re going to actually be stretched further.”

Compensation, including wages and benefits (including paid leave) should be based on your accomplishments at work, not your spawning practices at home.

Basically the feminine workplace nowadays is divided between prostututes and mothers... prostitutes are terrified by mothers
