This title doesn't do it justice- I hope his rant about how working moms aren't fair to the company gets him sued.

      Now that Twitter has removed protection for trans individuals in their hate speech policy, are people who use Twitter thus transphobic? It's a stretch and a broad stroke. Whilst I understand the sentiment, it's making a lot of assumptions. A lot of people simply follow x religion because that's what they were brought up with, but they aren't a religious extremist or bigot. Look at the number of Muslims who drink alcohol for a solid example, despite it being forbidden. Personal ideology is exactly that—personal. If someone commits an atrocity in the name of god, is everybody who practices that religion also a violent extremist who hates anyone gay or female?

  No need to attack someone's religion in this context.

No kidding. Joshua Fluke plays the whole thing with commentary[1], and it gets really bad. This guy goes on for like ten minutes and just keeps sharing bad take after bad take. If I were his assistant I would be giving him the 'wrap it the FUCK up' signal nonstop after like, three minutes. [1]: https://youtu.be/xEek505-6EM https://youtu.be/xEek505-6EM

  I like how this video points out that this CEO serves on the boards of several other companies and organizations while claiming to be "all in" and fully committed to Clearlink. So children and dogs are a distraction for the rank and file that's unfair to the company, but being on a bunch of boards and committees is fine and cool for executives. Pretty obvious what "good" and "bad" mean here - "good" is anything that makes the CEO more money, "bad" is anything that is the opposite. Classic "mask off" moment.

I know these are dangerous grounds to tread on, but I do struggle with working parents sometimes. I understand having children does take time, but I've experienced a parent that ends up being available around 4 hours a day while they are the linchpin in a certain part of the process that prevents a job from being completed. They're slow to respond to messages, emails, and calls and sometimes async responses are just not good enough when we have contractors ready to put equipment into the ground. Just seems like at some point, the role should be part time and not involved in some crucial aspect of the process. My complaint should probably be towards the company though and not the parent.

  >My complaint should probably be towards the company though and not the parent. Yes, it should. Don't put responsibility on people you know won't fulfill it. The fact people even entertain the idea of not putting the blame on bosses for this is ridiculous. Surely all the time spent making everyone homogenous and replaceable would infer otherwise.

  Your anecdotal story is kind of bullshit though. More than half the people I currently work with have children and their performance is similar to the ones who don't. I'm sure that one case was annoying for you, but your sample size is garbage.

    I never claimed mine was a study. Just an observation. No need for a hostile response like yours.

      You opened saying you are treading on "dangerous grounds" and then said dumb garbage. You made a sweeping generalization off of one little anecdote. As a working parent, I am upset with your mindset. Instead of supporting your fellow worker trying to get by in these precarious times, you use them as an example to drag down others? It's lazy and it's bullshit.
