I'm sure they used a vacation day. My single friend just took two days off to go to Vegas with friends. Are you saying that one person's use of vacation days should be judged and the other is ok.

Or they called in "sick", had doormat manager cover for them, imposed upon coworkers to pick up the slack once again as Miss Mother goes off on her la-dee-da kids activities all the while expecting to get full pay for the non-productive time at work.

I have noticed many women think the company they work for is like a family and they use it as a family expecting everyone to understand how she cannot be there all the time because its Picture Day, or she has a mood going on and wants to take a day trip somewhere. And these women wonder, in their balloon heads, why on earth they are not getting the big promotion that requires, at minimum 60+ hours a week on the job.

Ignoring the rest of the blatant and ridiculous misogyny in this post, if they call in sick (or "sick"), then they use paid sick hours, just like you would. If they've accrued them, then they can use them.

Exactly. I've been out of the work world for a while but I don't remember ever feeling I needed to tell/justify to anyone why/where I was going on a vacation day. Ever. Vacation days are yours to use however you want. You don't have to justify it to anyone. Also, employees get so many sick days to use and they use those when needed. I do know some moms or dads used them to take care of a sick kid and I know plenty of people who used them on Tuesdays to nurse a hangover after football Monday. Who cares?

None of this BS explains why women with the same degrees earn less than men in the same occupations, when they are all just one year out of college with no kids to take care of.

OP has some shallow, easily disproven thoughts about that, too.

I call BS on this. Most real companies pay new college grads exactly the same if they have the same major and went to a similar quality school. After one year there isn't going to be much of a gap at all if any.
