No because they have different needs. Society should focus on providing people based on their needs, not how much they produce. Only a slave bases his worth on his productivity.
Just because you want to spend Christmas with your kids doesn’t mean I should have to skip Christmas with my family just because I’ve chosen to not have children.
Flexibility is a pretty broad term. The point is that having children can give parents a special excuse to ask for flexibility. But there is important stuff going on too in the lives of people who don’t have children, but they don’t have this special excuse. The need stays the same: flexibility
Its not an excuse, parents really do, or should, have less time available than someone without kids.
The real problem is people thinking they need to justify their time off at all. Its either possible or not, and a worker either fits into a role or doesn’t. Playing games is for children, if someone needs time off then they need it, its not up for debate.
Its not an excuse, parents really do, or should, have less time available than someone without kids.
And they chose this. I didn’t choose not to have kids so I’d be more available to cover shit at work. I did it so I’d have as much free time as possible to enjoy my life.
Its also hilarious to assume every childbirth is intentional.
It’s part of the sexism that is barely under the surface of childfree communities. Harder to punish women for their life choices if they have to think about the many reasons one may find themselves burdened with a child.
They are doing something wrong if they think their kids bullshit is more important than whatever I have going on on my days off. My time is as valuable as theirs.
Nobody claimed that time off with their children were more important than your time off for your fitness session.
You were just the one who accepted the shift because you can move your fitness session.
Your flexibility works in your favor, because you’re also the one getting paid for the hours that you decided to work.
You can say no to extra work for no reason. You do not have to make up excuses for not working extra. It is not your boss’s job to evaluate which lie is more worthy of not working in their free time.
If your boss ask why you can’t cover a shift outside of schedule, just call it what it is: None of his business.
Yep, they chose to have the kids (in many cases), sorry, that’s what happens.
At least they’ll have a caretaker when they’re old, I won’t!! So in payment for that, they don’t get as much free time and less sleep. It’s a tradeoff. But I’m awful at long term thinking and don’t want to subject a human to taking care of elderly people, so that’s my choice to make :)

Then don’t be pissed off when managers schedule those with more free time more often, or call them in more often.

Why shouldn’t I be pissed?
Because noones doing anything wrong, you just don’t like it.

Parents think their kid’s bullshit is more important than their own job, not yours. That’s why they aren’t clocking in for their own job that day.
It’s your employers fault for calling you in on a day off and your fault for accepting it.

makes sense e.coli can’t read because WHERE IT IS STATED THEY SHOULD BASE THEIR WORTH ON THEIR PRODUCTIVITY?
