Sorry to be heartless but that really wouldn’t be fair...layoffs suck and yes they’re different from firings but the people who get laid off and the people who stay should still be the people who deserve it. Why should I be punished because I don’t have kids?

When lay offs were coming and i wanted to go freelanced - i volunteered to save my friend who was probably gonna be the one, his account was the one that was lost. He had 2 kids about to go to college and a wife with a really low paying job It worked. To this day, I don’t know if he knows.

definitely does not matter

We had Christmas layoffs, only the people with kids got layed off.

No one cares about your kids sorry

Not if I don’t like you or think you add value.

No one considers parents or your obligations

I’ve seen parents laid off (moms) with the justification that the dad works so it’s ok

Watched my mom get laid off so many times as a kid. I’m one of 5 and one of my siblings is disabled. My mom was also a single parent. It does not matter.

Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?
