So are you for giving more flexibility for people who don't necessarily need it, or for taking away flexibility from people who do?
They're advocating for equal treatment for equal pay. Having kids doesn't make you special.
They're advocating for taking away flexibility. I'm all for giving extra flexibility, but let's be honest, they just want others to not have it
Based on..?
Sorry I should clarify, where did you get the idea that they're advocating for taking away flexibility, and them not wanting others to have flexibility.
Or did you really just base it off just that?
Not at all what follows from that conversation. You're just assuming instead of clarifying or asking.
You lost the plot
Ya, of course choosing to not do something doesn't make you special.
Correct it's class warfare but bringing that up undercuts your first comment.
Its called discussion. It's why we have comments at all. Sorry for critiquing your clearly shallow comment
This is not a zero sum game.
If we're looking at existing staffing levels, then sure, giving some people flexibility would come at the cost of other people's flexibility. But that premise is exactly the problem here — it's fucked up that when people who aren't parents are in need of flexibility, their employers often say that it's not possible because staffing levels are too low. But this is a problem that arises because employers are cheapskates.
