Let’s work from home when the kids are sick, thank you great company that I am allowed to slave away for you while taking care of my sick kid! It isn’t even a US company it seems.
Edit: guess I should have posted to unpopularopinions instead!
I just wanted to add I cut off the photo of the person on purpose. She is posting that with her sick child in her lap and that photo has been taken by some other person, not a selfie. If you are not feeling that the content of the post is bad, you hopefully still agree that presenting your sick child in an almost professionally looking photo to the world for LinkedIn clout is not great.
I’m fortunate enough to have a good enough job that my wife didn’t need to work while taking care of our children. That said, after a while, she got restless and sought out WFH opportunities. It turns out, spending all day with a screaming child is stressful, and being able to switch gears and feel productive is helpful.
We don’t know this woman’s situation, whether she needs to work to pay the bills, or chooses to work because taking care of a child full time is a different kind of stressful. At the end of the day, it should be the woman’s choice if she works.
