    That’s a very pro-capitalist stance… Given that it was the pressure of losing one’s job that even created the emergency…

      If anything, it’s your stance that’s pro-capitalist.

      Oh poor billionaires, what will they do if I can’t cover your shift, or if they have to give me an extra day off.

      Boohoo, poor poor billionaires, if only there was enough money to pay people fair wages and provide working flexibility.

      Yes the non-parents absolutely must cover your shift so the billionaire doesn’t lose any money. /s

        Yes. If you can’t take care of your kids and have to rely on strangers (coworkers) to sacrifice their life, don’t have kids.

        Oh poor billionaires shouldn’t have to be forced to cover for their employees need for time off /s

        You’re making the argument that the needs of parents are always put on their coworkers but you’re blaming parents instead of the employer where the blame rightfully belongs.

      How is “I don’t want to do extra work to cover for your ass because you can’t balance your personal life and your job” a problem capitalist stance?

          Yes, explain why should your coworkers suffer for your inability to manage your life? You can bitch about the situation being a result of capitalism and you’re not wrong, but the reality is at the ground level, when someone has to leave early or call off all the time it’s their fellow coworkers that are getting fucked with more work.

            So now you agree with me. My entire point was the attitude is pro-capitalism. Thanks.

              It’s not supporting capitalism to say that you shouldn’t expect your coworkers to take on extra work to accommodate your personal problems.

                It is supporting capitalism to say you should give up on having offspring to make sure that you can be a good little worker that supports your co-workers. Capitalism is a construct of man. Having offspring is literally the entire purpose of our species. Which one should take precedence?

                  It’s not about being a good worker. It’s about not inflicting more bullshit on others. No one else signed up to participate in your family problems. The world is burning anyway, why the fuck would you have kids in the first place? Things are going to be hell for them.
