Sure, if you want to work part time, you get paid for that. I have no problem with it.

I mean this is like complaining that the guy in a wheelchair gets to sit all day

Lets talk about the 300 cars lined up in front of every school. Lets talk about lawnmower parenting.

Do you own the company? If not, stfu. I don't have kids but completely understand when a coworker has other obligations. Work to live, not live to work.

I'm the master of my own domain at work. Meaning, I work independently. Nobody needs to pull my slack.
As an adult, I can do both. Both if I need a day off for my child who is sick, I'll use my allotted time. Don't really care what anyone says about it.
If I start slacking, feel free to find someone better but that will never be an issue.
Yeah, and it seems the people hyper concerned about what co-workers are/aren't doing are probably pretty fungible (as the parent duties may lead to them picking up the slack from time to time).

That's certainly part of it. But why should I have to spend $200/monthbcommuting when she doesn't have to?
Im not commenting on the validity of the reason she's not there, but she gets a paycheck just as I do. Why do the rules differ for her?

Have you never heard of consulting or something? Why are you in here shitting on jobs? What a weird brag.

Happens all the time. Or they use time off at the expense of others not being to take theirs because it's deemed less important.
This isn't near as complicated as many of you are trying to make it out to be.

Sure, but that same person agreed to a contractual obligation to perform some sort of work
HIGHLY doubtful that’s the case.

that's beef with your employer, not the coworker.
you're kinda all over the place... with the examples jones or others gave, yes, it's obvious that it's unacceptable to have continued unplanned absences

You doubt that employees have employment contracts?

Who is doing this daily and still keeping a job?
If someone is leaving every day at 2:30 to pick up their kids and still keeping their job, then they must be a valuable employee who gets the job done. I'll walk out of the office whenever I need to or want to for something with my kids, but I've also established that I'll come in on Saturday morning or work nights when busy and something has to be completed.

Now you're envious of the lady with a special needs kid?
Bruh, you're just a whiner.

I agree, but it manifests as dissent between employees because the employer doesn't act.
Im not sure what you are trying to prove.

No, and I specifically said the opposite.

Seems like she has better negotiating skills than you do

I don't have an issue with covering for coworkers when kid situations comes up as long as they're understanding that since I don't have young kids (just a teen step-daughter) that they can cover for me when I decide to take a long weekend at the lake.
The ones that can be a pain in the arse are people like yourself or the other extreme of "Oh you don't have kids, well then you can work this instead" crowd.
