I think we all should get more guaranteed time off to just enjoy our one finite life.
I think if someone needs to come in late/leave early/go home unexpectedly we shouldn't have to justify it because we are adults (so long as we get our assigned tasks done WHO CARES). If we can't meet work goals I think we should (as again - fucking adults) have a conversation with our team/manager to handle it.
I think if we are sick we should be given time and space to recover. It's not our employer's business how, what, or why (that includes not requiring an employee to see a doctor or get a FUCKING DOCTORS NOTE). When it comes to sick time I don't care if someone is taking care of themselves, their sick child, their elderly parents, or their chihuahua with a broken leg, they shouldn't have to explain it, they shouldn't have to justify it, and it should be given identical time and grace.
I don't think that unmarried or childfree people should have to cover all the holidays because ThEY dON't HaVE fAMilY. That's cruel and untrue and heteronomative. And if you have ever said this to someone, stood by while someone else said this, or benefited from someone using this logic to make the same person/people work EVERY holiday please know I think you are a trash person.
I think management/the owners/corporate will give us all as little time as they can get away with and LOVES it when we segment ourselves into in- and out-groups that fight over off-time like it's a resource the workers control. We don't. Don't let them convince you we aren't all in this together and that we don't ALL deserve more free time.
