[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to arrive an hour late and leave 30 mins early for the next two weeks. This is child care related while my spouse is basically deployed. My employer said they 'can't' allow it. I've offered to use PTO or make up the hours later at night.

I've been here for 8 years and literally never once called in sick.

Short of just saying 'f^^k you' and walking, what can I do?[/quote]

What is basically deployed?  You either are or you aren't.

TDY isn't deployed.[/quote]

NP. Plenty of us are feds/contractors who work on crises around the world. There's short notice. My spouse has been gone for months at a time. I rarely bring it up because people only have sympathy for military.[/quote]

+1. MY DW is one of the top infectious disease SMEs in the entire world. She was pretty much gone in SEA all of 2021 and a good chunk of 2022.

Take a wild guess and imagine how supportive people were to me when I was single parenting 3 kids under 8 during that time.

Hint- any mention of it by me and people took it as whining. Meanwhile- the bosses admin, who had a DH deployed in a non combat role and just one kid (who was 13), had meal trains organized for her every month.

The double standard was so appalling I've lost all respect for my colleagues.[/quote]
