Pregnant Employees

[Ramone45]

Donald Trump said they were "inconvenient". Honestly, there is an element of truth to this. I operate a small pop stand. The size of my crew is less than 10 employees. In 35 years, I've had one full-time and one part time male employee. The rest have all been females the majority of reproductive age. I've been through the maternity cycle numerous time. The truth is, that for a business of my size, it is inconvenient. I've never discriminated against pregnant women or violated any applicable laws. However it is a pain in the neck. There's the lost productivity. Covering for the employee when she's out on leave. They will sometimes promise to come back to their job after maternity leave, and then either tell you they're not going to come back at all, or that they want to work only part time. Then, when the kids are sick, its the mom and not the dad that has to take care of it.

You need to pay your employees a shitload more. And supply amazing benefits. Then when the kids get sick the dad can stay home. Had a buddy who took the maternity leave for his wife. She made more than he did. Another had similar thing, his wife made more so when kids got sick he stayed home. Sucked for me as my role was to cover for absentees.

And when the kids start school and bring home all sorts of diseases, the parents get it and come to work and spread it around. I have never been so sick so often as when working with folk who have kindergarten to grade 3 kids.

Also, when employers shame people for taking time off when they're sick, they spread the illness to people they work with And the patrons of the business. Stay home with your damn bugs and don't come to work as a martyr.

I'm thinking contract labor, get it done, take your money and get the fuck out.

A pop stand? What's your customer base?

This just proves kids are too much trouble.
When we raised our four we were always sick. Our kids have rug rats and they are always sick.
We've lived in Florida 23 years and the only times we were sick was when the adopted boy was in school.
Kids are disease carriers. They should be put away until they grow up. Get a dog or cat and be happy!
By the way, what's a pop stand?

It's a roadside establishment that sells ice cold soft drinks to thirsty customers.

Don't you Yanks call them soda stands or something.

tip: never order a soda in a Canadian establishment. You will get a funny look from server as they bring you a straight glass of soda water. It's pop you want not soda.

Babies are always referred to as "it". It's a boy, or it's a girl.

Interesting point - I'm gonna use my highlighter pen on that

Back in the 70s and early 80s I was a construction manager. Women are a pain in the ass. I recall the grief I got when I nixed a girl draftsman from joining the secretaries for secretary day lunch. She wasn't a clerk in the engineering department! Her male coworkers weren't invited. I argued the occasion wasn't girl day.

Girls are always mascots.

You're doing it wrong.

Now, now. To each his own. If he likes being fisted or strapon fucked up the ass, who are we to say he is wrong.

If he's going to bitch about the pain, he should at least use some lube.

Probably a painslut looking for attention.
