    Then don’t be pissed off when managers schedule those with more free time more often, or call them in more often.

    Its also hilarious to assume every childbirth is intentional.

          They are doing something wrong if they think their kids bullshit is more important than whatever I have going on on my days off. My time is as valuable as theirs.

            Nobody claimed that time off with their children were more important than your time off for your fitness session.

            You were just the one who accepted the shift because you can move your fitness session. Your flexibility works in your favor, because you’re also the one getting paid for the hours that you decided to work.

            You can say no to extra work for no reason. You do not have to make up excuses for not working extra. It is not your boss’s job to evaluate which lie is more worthy of not working in their free time.

            If your boss ask why you can’t cover a shift outside of schedule, just call it what it is: None of his business.

              Bullshit. Everywhere I’ve ever worked has had people demanding their holiday PTO days get approved over others because they don’t have anyone to take care of their kids.

                So what’s the alternative?

                Should the boss order them to work on days where they’re clearly not going to show up because it would also be illegal for them to leave a child without care?

                Family beats work.

                    Or… Hear me out… You could learn to say no to extra work yourself.

                    Force the employer to hire the adequate number of employees to cover the shifts that they want covered. That’s what their fucking job is. Don’t do it for them by being a pushover.

                    Don’t blame the parents for doing what you should be doing.
