[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP.  There are many reasons which might cause someone to take sick leave or be late or not complete their job duties, and frankly none of them make much difference.  It's your job to handle your out-of-work responsibilities in such a way as to make sure you are still able to get your job done.  If you're talking about discriminating against someone who is late or takes time off for child-related issues vs. someone who is late the exact same amount or takes the exact same amount of time off for non-child-related illness or vacation, I don't think that's excusable.

Frankly, OP, it sounds like you are in a particular situation with a particular supervisor that is treating you in a way you feel is unfair.  If that's the case, you will get much more meaningful responses here if you actually explain the situation rather than asking for generalized responses. [/quote]

Actually, those general situations are exactly the situations that were cited on a co-workers review.  I am posting about my co-workers review.  My company is quite large and MY boss has kids so he understands all the issues that come with it.  My co-worker's boss is single with no kids. Clearly, she has already told my co-worker wrong info (about the pumping thing).  I have heard other stories about how single bosses nitpick at these "kid issues" while other bosses with kids give a lot of leeway to their subs.  In my co-workers case, I believe that she is getting the work done but her boss chose to focus on these kid issues instead on the review.[/quote]
