Her manager let her work

That's not what "It takes a village" means 🙄
That may be true, but you gotta understand something, mate: this post was written by the village idiot.
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.
her manager let her work <3 <3 <3
awwwwww what a truly great person
Let's be realistic, her manager didn't have the authority to pay her if she couldn't make it in and she needed the money.
As fucked as it is, they may have actually been helping to the best of their ability. The 'manager' may make $1.50 more per hour.
Please tell me the original poster was being sarcastic... Please...
Hahaha, no, dumbfucks all over think this is a feel good story because the job didn't fire her ass right away like they would have 15 years ago in the "you're lucky to have a job" era. Now they're so short on workers who actually want to work such bullshit-ass jobs that they're willing to "make exceptions."
Plus in a few years the girl can start working there too since child labor laws would be extinct and she already knows how to run the register.
I'm of the opinion that anyone under 18 who works a job should be allowed to vote.
That’s not a village, the village would be someone watching the kid while mom works.
Watch her get fired over this.
My mom lost her business when I was really little, and once we settled down somewhere new, she started working as a receptionist for an environmental company. She used to have to bring me to work with her sometimes. Everyone in the office was super chill about it, but if Ed, the owner/complete asshole was there, I had to hide under her desk until he left.
We need a lot of changes, but honestly, a UBI with an extra stipend for parents is one of the big ones. people can't afford to have kids, can't afford to lose their jobs because of their kids. Who the fuck is gonna take care of assholes like Ed when they're old if no one is having kids?
Who the fuck is gonna take care of assholes like Ed
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!
Human beings experience a steep drop-off in productivity after ~6hrs, and the worst effect found of switching to a four day work week has been no change but employees are happier, though more often it’s a large increase in productivity and quality.
While yes, that would be something to consider after fixing everything else, your idea is just this post, please do better.
Sorry, are you saying, "stop thinking about the issue in hand until the one I care about is done"?
Yeah but not busy restaurant with hot liquids and surfaces and people rushing around and angry customers yelling.
Well, that is a fair point.
I can't tell if this is a joke or if someone actually thought this was uplifting.
