KirbyKhan posted:Friend of mine got her 4 year old kicked out of her childcare for having too many accidents and I'm like... What business do you have doing business with 2-4 year olds if you can't handle poop? Your child being a child is getting in the way of collecting kid rent. This is just a parking lot sir. Her profitability metrics were suboptimal

KirbyKhan posted:Friend of mine got her 4 year old kicked out of her childcare for having too many accidents and I'm like... What business do you have doing business with 2-4 year olds if you can't handle poop? With 2 yr olds it's an unfair expectation, especially for boys. I understand that "too many accidents" is a vague metric, but many pre-K places require children to be toilet-trained to qualify for enrollment, and I can understand them getting tetchy about having to do toileting as well as training, especially if they're somewhat short-staffed. I can't imagine that many trained grade-school teachers expected to be changing diapers as part of their work with state-mandated public education for 4 yr olds, and I agree with the people in the story who said those duties should be spelled out in collective bargaining and/or handled by teachers' aides.

ProperGanderPusher posted:YMMV with grandmas. Ours usually won’t watch our kid for more than an hour at a time per week because she’s decided she wants to be a MLM girl boss at the ripe old age of 70 and is too busy hustling. I know we’re not entitled yadda yadda yadda but she talked a big game about providing daycare for us when she was trying to convince us to move out here. Spoiler: She said that to lure you guys in so you would take care of her. It was never about you or the kid. triple sulk posted:the ones that won't stop being passive aggressive (or just plain aggressive) about it if you don't have or want to have any are the worst Humans have raised children during famines and disasters, so clearly you must too. Squat over the volcano and fire those little bastards in.

when people say child care is hard work (it is) o always thing of the millions of mostly women who’ve been doing it for free at the cost of their “career” and life time earnings. it’s not great

market solutions for market problems! raising children has historically been a communal activity for pretty much all of recorded history, but atomization is a bitch so that ship has sailed.

Willa Rogers posted:I mean, it's kind of unfair for us to discuss how child care is devalued on one hand & then to expect elders to take it on gratis, or for less pay than the professionals earn. I mean it’s kinda lovely when our boomer parents’ parents were happy to help out when we were kids and now our own parents all need to follow their muses and can’t be bothered to help out. Kinda FYGM-ish.

Immediately telling me how I’m unfocused, and don’t know what I want. Xpforr has issued a correction as of 19:40 on Aug 9, 2023 |

skooma512 posted:Given the shortages in that industry, I would be surprised if it was that strict and competitive. But then again, it wouldn't surprise me at all since many labor shortages are due to inflexible standards and just straight up class warfare. ATC as a rule will not hire anyone over 30. The shortage is not due to a lack of applicants, it is purely because their budget is inadequate.

If we pay people to have kids it's going to mean that people will just pop out kids whenever they want a free meal. Child rearing is best dictated by market forces, which are currently what makes the United States the greatest country on earth. Sorry if you're a loser but you should have worked harder, this is a meritocracy after all, i wrote a report for McKinsey on it

triple sulk posted:to reiterate my point, yeah, HR has blinders on. recruiters left and right are on linkedin crying about their struggles to find a new job, but those same people will reject and/or ghost you without a second thought if they were in the position to do so. hiring managers do it to a lesser extent, but i cannot see it as anything but a numbers game and hoping you get lined up with a sequence of individuals who like you and the way you think. I'm actually slated to start a new job with a giant org that canned my rear end a few years back but currently fielding interviews and the like with better orgs with better pay/benefits. Deciding to not take the job after getting a start date and going through onboarding paperwork seems dickish (and I've been looking at whether ppl get sued for this, its happened before) and feeling oddly guilty and worried, but like why should why? They'd do the same to me! They have already!!!

loquacius posted:My dudes I have gotten form-letter rejections for so many job listings I am quite clearly qualified for on paper, sometimes after I talk to a recruiter and they're all smiles on the phone, sometimes without even the phone call. Some of the jobs are fake, and the rest have already gone to one of the 5 million other people who have applied to them, and you will never know which is which, the system is perfect My advice is to work with multiple recruiters and have them do the heavy lifting for you. If they ask, lie to them and say you're only working with each one individually, otherwise they will freak out (don't feel bad about the lying, headhunters are scum). Eventually you will get a recruiter who is on the ball and can find you some real openings.
