Her manager let her work

Truly magnanimous

We live in the wealthiest nation on the planet in a technologically advanced civilization.

Everyone needs to understand things are only still this absurd because we allow a small percentage of people to live better than any kings from the past ever lived off the backs of the rest of us. Hording the vast majority of our wealth.

We absolutely have the means to prevent people from having to take their kids to fucking work with them but we choose to let billionaires do things like dismantle our government and destroy our international relations instead.

That's not what "It takes a village" means 🙄

One time, one of my coworkers showed up to work with his kid, because the babysitter called in sick. My manager, without skipping a beat, told him to go home and be the best dad he possibly could, then, not only did she not use his sick time for this day, she made it a department policy to allow unlimited* "parent days". One of the best managers I've ever had.

' * Fine print was basically, don't abuse it, but use it when you need it.

I like that "it takes a village" means bringing your child to work, and not having the support to either have someone/some facility watch your child if you chose to work, or having actual paternity leave. Nor does it mean being paid enough that if you had to just not work, you and yours wouldn't be in the street.

How inspiring.

it takes a village to raise a child...

it takes a Corporation to exploit a family for their personal gain.

Orphan crushing machine…

does anyone actually see this and think it's heartwarming???

The manager was generous enough to let her carry her child while working, but not generous enough to pay her enough to get childcare, or provide it themselves?

It reminds me a bit of the story of a mother going in for a job interview, and shortly after, being arrested for child negligence/endangerment, because she'd left her child unattended (in the same area) while attending said interview. This situation feels like it's setting up for that kind of thing.

Would you like extra fries for a dollar more?

No, but how much for the kid?

Amidst all the outrage, I'd like to say I'm really in favour of having workplaces child friendly where possible. More time of letting the children spend time with mum or dad, rather than going to corporate childcare.

If any of you are planning an office layout today, make a playroom!

That village failed.

That's the opposite of a village
