[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this is why everything is short staffed nowadays?[/quote] I love how people think that this very small movement is to blame for the work shortage and yet you can't possibly understand that with daycares being closed and things being very inconsistent that some parents have had to leave the workforce or reduce their hours. If you're not getting consistent daycare and still paying for it then it makes more sense to quit your job or work part-time and not pay for daycare for short-term. We are by no means wealthy but we have a 165k HHI and my daycare closed between Christmas and New Year's and just closed for snow that hasn't even come and continues to talk about how they might close. At this point we're considering staggering our work schedules and withdrawing our son from care until he goes into kindergarten. The only reason I'm able to do that or even consider that as an option is because I have a very flexible tech job. But I can tell you that many people are not going to continue to pay for daycare continue to work have to use our leave take leave without pay while having to go through closure after closure after closure it's been 2 years. Part of this is that people are getting better jobs part of this is that people can't work with young children and inconsistent child care and the other part is maybe people are retiring early. It isn't just one thing. [/quote] why this continues to fly over people's head is beyond what I will ever undertsand.[/quote]
