Fuck this village

Her manager let her work
Truly magnanimous

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!
Please tell me the original poster was being sarcastic... Please...
Hahaha, no, dumbfucks all over think this is a feel good story because the job didn't fire her ass right away like they would have 15 years ago in the "you're lucky to have a job" era. Now they're so short on workers who actually want to work such bullshit-ass jobs that they're willing to "make exceptions."
Plus in a few years the girl can start working there too since child labor laws would be extinct and she already knows how to run the register.
Every single fucking day, my soul wilts just a little bit more...
Dipshits like this are always serious.
Good chance you will see it re posted to upliftingnews@lemmy.world
I would cross post it myself, but I am banned from there for cross posting things from here....
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.
her manager let her work <3 <3 <3
awwwwww what truly great person
Let's be realistic, her manager didn't have the authority to pay her if she couldn't make it in and she needed the money.
As fucked as it is, they may have actually been helping to the best of their ability. The 'manager' may make $1.50 more per hour.
My mom lost her business when I was really little, and once we settled down somewhere new, she started working as a receptionist for an environmental company. She used to have to bring me to work with her sometimes. Everyone in the office was super chill about it, but if Ed, the owner/complete asshole was there, I had to hide under her desk until he left.
We need a lot of changes, but honestly, a UBI with an extra stipend for parents is one of the big ones. people can't afford to have kids, can't afford to lose their jobs because of their kids. Who the fuck is gonna take care of assholes like Ed when they're old if no one is having kids?
Who the fuck is gonna take care of assholes like Ed
I can't tell if this is a joke or if someone actually thought this was uplifting.
This is /c/aboringdystopia
No, this is Patrick
Orphan crushing machine!
Having lived in milwaukee, I saw this a lot at fast food places
I saw it in a st louis taco bell recently.
That’s not a village, the village would be someone watching the kid while mom works.
The village would be birth control, abortions and sterilizations being available to anyone who needs them so that 17 year old children aren’t having children in the first place
The village would provide for the mother while she stayed home raising her child.....
I'm happily child free but there's a lot of folks out there who don't understand why someone like me would choose not to have kids.
It's because it's a fucking huge responsibility that apparently falls completely to the mother. Fuck that.
Watch her get fired over this.
Fucked up
Amidst all the outrage, I'd like to say I'm really in favour of having workplaces child friendly where possible. More time of letting the children spend time with mum or dad, rather than going to corporate childcare.
If any of you are planning an office layout today, make a playroom!
Yeah but not busy restaurant with hot liquids and surfaces and people rushing around and angry customers yelling.
damn and she's got the vest on, she's running food
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.
Why is a 17 year old having kids?
Life happens. A mistake of heaving sex too early doesn't mean that caring for a child and loving them is a mistake.
Do you have any idea how intentionally bad sex ed is in places?
