Op's position is"don't have kids if you are going to make your co-workers' lives more difficult"... Need i go further?
Yes, explain why should your coworkers suffer for your inability to manage your life? You can bitch about the situation being a result of capitalism and you're not wrong, but the reality is at the ground level, when someone has to leave early or call off all the time it's their fellow coworkers that are getting fucked with more work.
So now you agree with me. My entire point was the attitude is pro-capitalism. Thanks.
It's not supporting capitalism to say that you shouldn't expect your coworkers to take on extra work to accommodate your personal problems.
It is supporting capitalism to say you should give up on having offspring to make sure that you can be a good little worker that supports your co-workers. Capitalism is a construct of man. Having offspring is literally the entire purpose of our species. Which one should take precedence?
It's not about being a good worker. It's about not inflicting more bullshit on others. No one else signed up to participate in your family problems. The world is burning anyway, why the fuck would you have kids in the first place? Things are going to be hell for them.
So close......
No, I'm never going to agree with you that people should have to take on more work so their coworkers with kids can leave whenever they feel like it.
Like a good capitalist... You believe your work life is more important than your family. You'll get there one day..... Or maybe you won't. I wish you the best.
My family? I don't have any kids. That's my entire point. I'm prioritizing my stress levels over someone else's problems that they chose. It's not about doing good for work.
