    so when it comes to work you want equal shares, but when it comes to money you want those with more to share theirs?

    i know you're dumb but that should mean you read something 10 times before blurting out nonsense.

    It’s one, probably quite woke-aware, CEO testing opinion. It’s not legally enforceable, or entitled.

    But this will get the blood flowing through the dive-hating veins…

    During my time as a director in a blue-chip one of the female sales reps asked if she could change her contract to part time to suit her new lifestyle with a baby. I said no. At the time there was no ...[text shortened]... one way to be fair and it’s not by giving in when you don’t have to.

    As for pet leave. Just LOL.

    @divegeester you sound like an example of the Peter Principle. You rose to your highest level of incompetence. Your corporation was under no obligation to give the part time opportunity to any other employee unless it was written into contracts. You could have easily and legally said that such arrangements are creating issues and so cannot be sustained. It could have been cancelled for the employee you gave this to. The same applies to letting one employee work from home and not another. Or changing the work at home option if it is not working for your company. Schools with unionized teachers often try things like shared teaching and then cancel the opportunity if administrators feel it does not work well. You sound rather incompetent.

    Study after study have shown Zahanzi to be correct....Most companies
    will allow you to use sick leave to nurse a pet.........Many Japanese companies
    (one of the worlds most productive and loyal work forces) encourage their
    employees to take naps, on the job, as they have found that it increases
    worker productivity and morale.....
    As for the working conditions you seem to foster, once again, y'all
    are on the wrong side of history----Like the 60 hour work week, child labor
    and hazardous working conditions...
    ----AS if ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER EVEN BEEN BOSSES----------
    Wait, I take that back, you were probably
    assistant managers at a fast food restaurant.

    one full time employee..........CEO me arse~!

    So let’s allow people to take time off to care for their new pet.

    Maybe people can work all the Ts (ten till two, Tuesday to Thursday), so they can take their hamster for a walk.
    Perhaps some can bring their therapy dog to their performance review.

    Have you fellers gone mad? And monikers of 'Pet Parents'? Weenie at its finest. Time off to care for a new pet? Me, I would fire an employee for even asking for it.

    Now this is a half decent thread, a departure from the gibberish around the COVID conspiracy trolls.

    At the heart of the matter is the changing employment landscape.
    The transformation to a "Gig" economy.
    I just hope this doesn't turn into a left-right socialist vs capitalism spat.
    Both ideologies have to adapt to the changing society.

    I have long found the way people treat pets like people to be strange and sad.

    "did you not post this...

    "I bet you're the kind of manager that assigns extra work if your subordinate is done with his share quicker.'

    you want people to have equal shares of work, just set on your ass when you are done with your share, but come payday you want all to share the revenue equally

    yes. that's right. At what point are you having difficulty with the concept. Employee A and B have the same salary, the same workload. If employee A finishes early he should be allowed to go home early. Or relax (better to go home). If you want to give him more work, you pay him more. Who the fuk would finish faster if it meant more work for no change in pay.


    If you're still confused maybe i can draw you a picture with crayons and upload it somewhere.

    mg..55......You don't understand, these narrow minded people can't adapt.
    Simply look up the meaning of conservative.
    'Why adapt to the need for healthcare? We got ours'
    'Why adapt to women's equality? They aren't capable'
    'Why adapt to gay rights? Y'ALL MADE THAT CLEAR ON THE BUTTGIEG THREAD.
    'Why adapt to the changing populace?' We'll simply change the voting rules'

    I mean spending thousands of dollars getting advanced cancer therapy to dying pets while people are dying of exposure on the streets. Donating immense amounts of money and time trying to house stray animals while the streets are covered in homeless. Buying luxury foods for their fat and useless dogs while people starve. Stuff like that.

    Also the "meat is murder" crowd.
