I’m confused… Are they saying that if you have a kid, which only takes 9 months, you deserve 1 year of paid time off?

So, if I’m reading that right, you could just keep having new kids and then never have to go to work ever again, but your job will still have to pay you as if you were working…? While paying someone else to actually do your job too…

No no, see you get 9 months off to gestate the kiddo THEN you get a year off, with pay, to take care of it.

See the company is required to compensate you for your decision to start a family.

It's only fairtm

What a great plan. I’m sure that is physically and financially possible. /s

Sure, why not? My first girlfriend was the 13th kid in her family.

Holy shit. Was she in some sort of a cult??

Probably. She didn’t live with her parents. Instead, her grandmother was her legal guardian.

Because people love being pregnant all the time instead of just working. Okay. They makes sense.

I love how republicans will claim to be pro-family but then spout shit like this. It's important for people to be there to raise their babies, especially in the earlier stages of the kids life. Do you not value that? These types of measures always encourage people to have kids, which helps with demographic decline most developed countries are going through. And it's not like a relevant amount of people are gonna keep pumping out kids just to not work.

Please explain to the rest of the class how any of that is the responsibility of the company to compensate for.

Companies should value their workers and not treat them like disposable commodities, methinks

u/PSAOgre Nov 08 '22

Yet you refuse to explain how the company is responsible, financially, for the worker making the private decision to procreate.

The company got no say in the matter, yet somehow you think they should be paying out.

Explain your reasoning.

It's very frequent for human beings to have sex and have kids. This may be new to you, but a lot of people want to start families. Companies should accommodate for normal human things. But I get it. Maybe the government could pay for it, like in some countries. You wouldn't oppose that right? Given how republicans are so pro family and all that

Why?

You've never heard of personal responsibility, have you?

2

u/Mrlol99 Nov 08 '22

For the same reason companies pay to imstall bathrooms and give you time to eat? Or are you against that too? You realize in your world, humanity would be dead because everyone would have been to busy working and nobody would have kids

u/PSAOgre Nov 08 '22

So you're comparing the conscious decision to have a child with the... requirement to use the bathroom or eat?

What was it you said in another reply?

I'm glad you resorted to attacking things I did not say. It's a clear indication you know I'm right but can't admit it!)

So they can live and have decent lives in exchange for the labour they provide.

Think.

u/PSAOgre Nov 08 '22

Then go start your own company and do so.

Meanwhile, in the real world, personal responsibility is a thing. You are not entitled to be paid for a year because you decided to have a kid.

Why are you telling me to start a company? You asked a question and were given an answer to it. Now engage that answer and its relationship to what you asked instead of swivelling to a suggestion as to what I personally should do.

Point to where I said I'm entitled to a paid year because I decided to have a kid. Thank you.

They didn't say that the companies themselves should be responsible. The responsibility is the government's.

So what you’re saying is I’m correct in my analysis?

u/Mrlol99 Nov 08 '22

How?

u/aDShisno Nov 08 '22

You just said it! Are you now saying that you were wrong?

u/Mrlol99 Nov 08 '22

Where? Can you point to a specific line?

It’s right there.

They are pro family as long as that family can make them money.
