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.

    The simple fact that we aren’t at the point where everyone has access to this kind of work environment MINIMUM completely defeats point 1. If you ever want to get to the point where this isn’t worth highlighting, it has to be ubiquitous, otherwise it is absolutely a highlight.

    If no one in the city has access to water, suddenly a job offering water is a huge highlight.

    If you want to make these practices not a highlight anymore, you have to make it ubiquitous, and the only way to do that is by spreading the idea. Is it perfect? Nope. But move the bar a bit more, and then it actually won’t be worth mentioning anymore, and we can mention the next small step.
