Nobody claimed that time off with their children were more important than your time off for your fitness session.
Bullshit. Everywhere I’ve ever worked has had people demanding their holiday PTO days get approved over others because they don’t have anyone to take care of their kids.
Should the boss order them to work on days where they’re clearly not going to show up because it would also be illegal for them to leave a child without care?
Or… Hear me out… You could learn to say no to extra work yourself.
Force the employer to hire the adequate number of employees to cover the shifts that they want covered. That’s what their fucking job is. Don’t do it for them by being a pushover.
Don’t blame the parents for doing what you should be doing.
That would be where I call in because the parent got their time off approved over me. In which case I’m the one who gets fired. Taking a stand is cool and all until you can’t pay your rent. You can’t force someone to do anything without leverage.

So what’s the alternative?

Family beats work.
Yeah? Fire their asses and get someone who will show up to their shifts when they’re scheduled.

Join a union.
If there was one I’d be in it.

Wanting everyone to have the same access to time off is attacking people… Okay.
