Are you saying it’s ok to feel bad as long as you don’t inform or allow the person taking leave that you feel bad? I’m not sure how I feel about that honestly.

I’m not sure how I feel about that honestly.
On the one hand it makes people feel more free and feel less bad in themselves.
On the other it will become an open secret among everyone including those who may eventually take leave and then be aware of it, passive aggression may ensure even if it’s not permitted, and of course on some level it’s dishonest.

It's not just about the individual taking the leave, it's about spreading discontent throughout the entire team because someone is taking advantage of a benefit they are entitled to. Basically, you are advocating for the idea that someone using a benefit they have is bad. i.e. I'm allowed to spread discontent on the team and make you feel bad for taking a salary.
- jrumbut 4y agoBasically this is what I meant. I'm fine with someone saying "I'm feeling overworked" but I'm not OK with saying "I can't believe Jane had a baby during this important sprint."
