  • I did do it before I retired. But not as much. I knew that my employers allowed it, but I also knew it wasn’t universal.

    It doesn’t bother me that someone might get help for caring for people. I’m just saying giving flexibility to parents and not to non-parents assumes only parents are helping people with that time.

    People saying that kids are important to society so we should allow parents extra flexibility, it rests on the assumption that what non parents would be doing with that flexible is less important to society. What if I’m giving blood, or helping an elderly parent, or volunteering at a homeless shelter? It’s hardly the employers role to judge pass judgement on what is a worthwhile use of time.
