Have you fellers gone mad? And monikers of 'Pet Parents'? Weenie at its finest. Time off to care for a new pet? Me, I would fire an employee for even asking for it.

I hate to say it (no, I don't), but nobody asked you.

Good. Fire him. Who needs happy, loyal employees who do their jobs without stress.

Businesses thrive when the worker has a fukton of stuff to worry about besides doing their job.

So what you're saying is incompetent managers reduced work hours for some people but did not hire additional workers to pick up the slack and just dumped that workload in the laps of the other employees.

Sooo the takeaway is... what exactly? That "woke, silly" manager shouldn't have said yes?

No, but I work in a corporation that treats its workers fairly and I see the level of productivity that comes with that.

I have also worked in other corporations with inflexible absurd managers like you said you were and they always seem to spend quite a lot on training new employees because the ones they have just quit.

A happy employee is an asset to the company. It's not about "silly wokeness" it's about good, pragmatic management. It's about investing in people, not disposable cogs.

My god your such an egotistical twerp you think there is an actual definable group of people who can be bothered hating you.
Your not important enough to hate dive you are just a bit of a jobsworth and the story above highlights that perfectly. Fortunately you’d be unemployable as a manager in the uk today.

Not as little as you though Tory boy. Your the one who came on here ranting about women wanting maternity leave to look after new born babies.
I bet the boys got you a pint in that night I wouldn’t be surprised if they polished your ford capri for you.
You just come across as an inadequate line manager.

"No that’s isn’t what I’m saying but I appreciate the effort to put words in my mouth. "
That wasn't a question. That WAS what you were saying.

"your “why didn’t they just hire more people” comment gives away your ignorance of how head count is managed across a large enterprise, the impact on pension funding, IT and infrastructure costs such as company cars, the cost per head increases, and in the larger landscape the impact on the corporate profile on the stock market. "
Did you just list items to make your list bigger?
Did you list IT as a significant cost in hiring more people? Did you list pension funding which is lower for part time workers?
Hey, you forgot to mention how the toilet paper budget will be increased if the company has more workers.

"You clearly have no idea what you are talking about."
Well since you were the first to declare this i guess it's settled then.
