For the parents out there- you get double the sick days with your children, you leave early to pick up “Charlie”, and you have a ton of obligations that go unnoticed.
As a single person, I have contemplated having a photo of someone’s baby on my desk and calling it mine. When it comes to “I have to pick up the baby from daycare” no questions are asked.
Apart from politics, is there any other industry with so much in fighting? Wow, we can't even learn to work with each other's differences. Go to work. Do it sincerely. Go home, pay you bills, do what makes you happy.
Overall, just be a nice human. It's easier than advertising.
Parents also don't fool around with their time, we try to be more objective and productive. And peolle doesn't seem to care. Oh it's ok to slack a lil bit now, we can do it tomorrow. (On a friday)
@CD OP sounds like you wish you were single 😂
Your specific words were ‘Any parents out there feel dumped on when single people come in at 10:30 hungover so you have to pick up their slack?’ What is your issue? The time they come in? (A lot of my Creatives aren’t there at 9 on the dot) The fact that they’re hungover? (It’s a social industry what can I tell you and coming in hungover is something I see just as many married people doing), or that you pick up their slack? It sounds like you’re operating from the perspective that these people’s lives are taking advantage of your time and you resent that because of the delicate balancing act you need to juggle between this job and the responsibilities you have at home.
If people aren’t getting done what you need them to get done then have a discussion about the fact that they’re not meeting your expectations. But I gotta tell you your post really came across like you have it tougher BECAUSE of how Single people’s lifestyles are impacting yours. And I’m sure there are many Single people who would say the same thing - like I didn’t have any say in your choice to have a kid. So why is it my responsibility to do your job because you have day care challenges? How is that my issue? It goes both ways CD
I try to be forgiving of others’ shortcomings, and hope they’re forgiving of mine.
I’m single and it seems the people with children are the ones coming in v late and leaving on time/early every day.
Sarcasm isn’t always obvious but I chose words from a post only hours before (that CD3 illustrated in a screengrab) and posted the definition of sarcasm pretty early on. Plus I said a couple times that I was pointing out the ridiculousness of the opposite type post. But I guess I should have used the sarcasm font.
But I whole heartedly agree with SVP1. And I find this an incredibly interesting experiment on people’s attitudes towards co-workers. Attitudes on parents vs younger folk (and people forgetting the fact that younger folks and single folks can be parents). Also people’s inability to read comments but still make their own comment and last the inability in our industry to understand sarcasm and humor. Damn we’re doomed
Single people, wanna go have a drink next week? 'Cause I'm single af 🙋🏻🥂
This post is the entire problem in our industry. I respect the working parents around me so much and I don’t count the hours when they have to leave and I have to stay. HOWEVER, if those parents, are essentially saying that I have to have a child for my time to be valuable outside of work then that’s the problem. And hey, how do you expect a single person to ever have a family life if they’re never going out to meet other people? There’s a reason so many people marry within our industry and 90% of the time it’s because that’s who you see all the time. I’m in favor of not living in an echo chamber and making time to see other people, too. And I would hope that the parents I work with would understand that while our responsibilities out of work might be different, there’s value in both people living a life that they enjoy, no matter their relationship status. Oh, and music > everything.
Lmao this is why we need Copywriters! Agree
C'mon guys... We're better than this.
If I had a dollar every time I came in sick out of guilt (sure you don’t want us to come in sick but you roll your eyes at us when we stay home) while the employees with kids leave due to their kids sicknesses multiple times in a week... of course parent must care for their kids but I dislike the double standard.
It was your choice to have kids, quit whining
Wow. I find the news depressing enough these days but this thread is the embodiment of intolerance and anger.... so depressing to see and to all those of you who haven’t had kids yet but one day might, well I just hope you have more open minded coworkers and some better environments to work in, good luck out there because as you can tell, you’ll need it...
And likewise MD1 maybe you too should do the same. I have throughout only ever suggested people should just do their own job and stop worrying about others and said that I hope others don’t experience some of the anger on here. Your vitriol and anger is pretty full on as is many others on here.... everyone has their own sh@t to deal with, throwing aggressive and abusive statements around doesn’t help... ‘shut up and stop complaining’ .... jeez, it feels a touch over the top and aggressive... have your say, everyone is entitled but try to do some without bullying commentary at least...
There’s a difference between standing up for yourself and being abusive and aggressive. Parents not parents, who cares, everyone is just trying to get on and do their job without heaps of judgement, and shitty work environments and attitude. It’s been really sad to see so much of that on here (but not surprising)
Thanks OP! 🙌
I agree that we have obligations but we tend to have some consideration for other people life.
If you have been on Fishbowl for more than 5 minutes, please stop posting this repeated, short-sighted, and pointless, and utterly lacking self awareness and self management, or empathy, topic. Oy vey! It's very tired and futile whether posted in jest or for real, regardless of which side you're on. P.S. Everything that 72 said!
UNSUBSCRIBE!!!
lol how can parents be offended on a thread that was started by a PARENT insulting a single person?? the problem with the industry is the lack of any respect for people
