Daycare Sick Policy vs. My Sick Days
My kid had a fever. Daycare said stay home twenty-four hours. My boss said we really need you in for the presentation.
I said my child is six. I did the presentation from my bathroom while she watched cartoons on the floor.
This is the ledger working parents keep: fever against deadline, policy against performance review, love against income. Nobody puts it in the annual report because the annual report pretends employees are abstract.
I am good at my job. I am also tired of proving that competence requires sacrificing the person who depends on me most. The presentation went fine. That is not the point.
