This is a common set-up: two parents out of the house 10 hours a day, scrambling to provide care for their own children. We make it work because we have to.[/quote]
And what benefit is there to society in making more people have to deal with this?[/quote]

So your question (why should I have to suffer like you, essentially) comes across as a bit… privileged to those of us who do essential in-person jobs.

Nice try. Answer the question. What benefit is there to society in making other people’s lives worse?[/quote]

You mean: What if we are all as self-serving as you?

Who is going to teach your children? Who is going to provide after-school activities and childcare for you? Who is going to be at the urgent care when you or your child get sick?

See, it’s really tiresome for those of us who work for the betterment of society (which often has to be done in person) to hear the woe-is-me from somebody who may have to experience a bit of what we do. It’s hard to feel sympathy when your argument is “well, you’re suffering, but thankfully I don’t have to!”[/quote]

No one is proposing to make YOUR life worse, while you are rejoicing in making our lives worse, and potentially hurts families and children the most.  What kind of poor upbringing have you had?[/quote]

I’m not rejoicing. Why would I bother to do that?

Just don’t “woe-is-me” about it. Consider your audience. When you have service workers who drive 45 minutes to their jobs (like me and many others), it’s really tiresome to hear people complain about RTO.

Want an example? Just look at your post. It’ll hurt YOUR family and children “the most.” Um… my long hours don’t affect MY family and children? I guess not as much as your RTO will hurt yours, huh?

So, what kind of poor upbringing have YOU had?[/quote]

You have the option of not coming to DCUM and not clicking on threads.  I also don't see a whole lot of moaning and wailing.  I see people being pissed that their working conditions are being altered for no good reason, that they are being demeaned just to further political divide, and trying to figure out how they make the change in conditions doable.  I see other threads about Amazon RTO where people are grappling with the same life upheavals generated by RTO.  [/quote]
