    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.

      I’ve never come in on one of my days off. I’m talking about getting PTO approved and having to argue about it while someone is getting preference because they should be allowed to spend time with their family or some shit.

        The responsibility to have work coverage is on your employer, not your coworkers.

                You’re advocating for all parents to be fired from their jobs because they have children.

                You still think you know how things work in the real world?

                  I didn’t say that anywhere. I said they shouldn’t get preferential treatment and they should plan accordingly to work the shifts they are scheduled for or face the consequences. Same as childless people do. Are you saying every parent is incapable of that?

                    Every person is incapable of never needing a day off of work.

                    No matter how hard you want to blame parents for your misfortunes, the work balance is ultimately the responsibility of your employer.

                    You will never rid the world of children and parents.
