People are so brainwashed for thinking this is heartwarming and not incredibly fucked.
This is literally what “black excellence” is, but calling it out makes you (internally) racist, a pick me for the nazis, or a black person who is white on the inside.
This post is inspirational and any problem you have with it is racially motivated.
What are you on about?
Interesting point, but I think meme culture is also programming people to stop thinking the moment their outrage is triggered. There’s a group consensus that acknowledging any other factors besides the evil in a situation is a defense of that evil.
The crowd clearly agrees with you on that, but many people are able to continue thinking even after they feel outrage.
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.

it takes a village to raise a child…
it takes a Corporation to exploit a family for their personal gain.
does anyone actually see this and think it’s heartwarming???
This gives me the same vibe as all those “feelgood” stories about communities coming together to pay for some valued member’s back surgery or cancer treatment or something.
It’s nice people do that, but what about people that are less liked, and how is it that we have so much wealth going around, and yet extremely basic things like healthcare are still factors people need to concern themselves with being able to afford?
Nope
Not at all… I bet the manager would have sacked her if she could.
Her manager let her work
Truly magnanimous

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.

That village failed.
The thing is, this is a situation where there was no village. She’s her own village, working and taking care of her kid simultaneously. “It takes a village” would mean someone else watched her kid without question because she needed someone. So this is dumb on a lot of levels.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. A village would involve someone helping this woman in some way, not just making her do everything and then taking a picture of it for (presumably) social media clout.
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.
Not even remotely the correct usage.
Not even remotely the correct village!
Orphan crushing machine…
I’ve seen this personally here in Georgia, and I mean more than once.
That’s the opposite of a village
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.
I mean, it’s McDonald’s. The manager doesn’t have the ability to pay her a living wage. The manager is a wage slave as well, or even worse on salary while having to cover so many shifts they’re barely averaging minimum wage themselves.
No, the person you’re mad at is the franchise owner.
And, depending on the store, the franchise owner could be barely breaking even despite paying employees so poorly.
Restaurants, and especially Fast food, is a very low margin industry unless the stores are churning through a significant number of orders consistently throughout the day.
Source: managed a fast food store for a couple years that, after all costs, barely broke even most months of the year.
Capitalism Baby Capitalism. Nazi can have every luxury but a single mom food? How Dare you
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.
Love your username!
Thanks! It has gotten me up many a time that I have had a bit of a tumble lol
Get fucked if you don’t have kids I guess
Lol!! Parents day actually extended to pets, too, and later (about a year or so before I left) also extended to (what is now known as) mental health day.
I retract my saltiness
-22 downvotes on the salty comment, and I balanced you out with your 22nd up vote here. Get balanced, chum
If you don’t have young kids, you don’t get sick nearly as often. It’s not like having a sick kid at home is a vacation. I don’t begrudge my coworkers their time off for illness or supporting family members with illness.
Thanks for telling me when I’m allowed to get sick. I’m sick of breeders acting like martyrs for deciding to have kids. You knew what your hobby entailed before you chose to participate.
The breeders, crotch goblin, “hobby” position is among the stupidest reddit positions out there, and there’s a lot of really dumb ones. Children of Men is a solid flick that goes into the societal collapse associated with “lack of breeding.” It’s also just so obvious that society needs to kinda build on itself in order to continue.
And yeah, humans are a disease! Okay. I just can’t get my head around being so anti one’s own existence. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
And nobody’s being a martyr. People have different lives situationally, and in an ideal world perhaps it wouldn’t have an affect on your workday, but it does, and sometimes accommodations need to be made, and sometimes it just isn’t fair, que sera.
I’m not anti my existence I just don’t see the point in celebrating a basic biological function that literally anyone can do.
I personally don’t see the need to participate in the creation of a new human. There’s plenty of us already. Some would say too many. I don’t begrudge somebody else’s choice to have a child, though.
What about meeeee
Yes how dare I value flexible work without having a child
Here’s the thing then: nut up and demand it. The reason that employers cave to parents on these things is because they know the child will take priority and the parent will take that time regardless. As they should. Trying to tell half of the workforce that they need to prioritize the job over their children is not a battle you can win.
If you have a problem with that then you need to find an ultimatum that you’re willing to stand your ground on. Otherwise just quit bitching because someone else received a benefit that you didn’t.
I mean not really if you want someone to operate on your heart you are old or someone to bring your groceries or drive you around etc
What you’re describing is money. I need money for those things.
you also need people to make kids who will be around to carry out these services when we are old farts. but also money yes.
Animals have been reproducing for millions of years. I’m not worried about it.
I am not saying humanity will collapse. I am saying that your taxes paying for the upbringing of the new generation is so that the society does not collapse. Could there be other ways? Maybe, but still does not mean a kidless person paying taxes for education is unfair. That is called the social contract.
…when did I say it was?
Capitalism equals a miserable life for most people, we should free ourselves.
but for many (and we know who) your misery cancels out THEIR misery.
as long has YOU are suffering more than they…They win. which is why “Owning the Libs” is to them desirable. and a sufficient reason for self harming behavior.
it is an insane point of view…but there you go.
