> You think it's unfair for people who have young children to not be expected to also be on call 24/7? That's dicey and depends on if you consider folks having children as them doing something they wanted for themselves, vs them doing society a favor. If the former, it's like reducing work responsibilities of someone because they're also taking piano lessons on the side and its cutting in their free time. It's their choice and they are doing it for themselves. If the later, then yeah, you'd have to cut them a break, in the same way we often do for folks with jury duty. But having young children isn't, like, a health condition someone's born with. The sleep disorder one is a bit trickier, since no one willing has sleep disorders. At the same time, it's not really your team mate's problems. I have some health issues that make me less productive at work. I don't get the roles, promotions, and compensation of the folks who can do more than I can. It sucks, but at the end of the day, companies hire you to do something. It's not a social service.
