I think the above statment is true. For instance, we were coming back from GHC conference and our seat assignment got messed up and the agent couldnt help us. On the first flight, there was a nice lady who was more than happy to switch seats saying I have kids and I know how difficult is to travel with young kids. On the last flight, a young female microsoft employee refused to switch seats. Worth to mention that we were lucky that there was 3 empty seats just one row ahead us and we got what we asked for. I might do the same if I didnt have any kids and I am not mad at her since she has right to sit whereever she is assigned to. But knowing the company paid for your ticket at every penny, I keep thinking why people are becoming more self centered and arrogant to help strangers. The act of young lady was like most of my colleagues I see everyday in Microsoft. Cold, indifferent. I guess we've all been treated so bad that after a while we become exaclty like our mentors and tech leads and managers. And in annonymous apps, we love to show each other how cruel and aggressive we can be. EDIT: we bought the tickets and paid for all the seats so that we could sit together. We got reassigned at the time of check-in, thanks to ridicolousness of optimization algorithm of airline companies. I am MS employee too and we are not allowed to buy tickets for our dependent through MS travel agents. There is not anything wrong with bringing a child on the trip as GHC provides daycare. I am a MS employee and coldness of that lady just reminded me of the environment of the org I'm working in and our team also even though my own manager is D&I advocate. For those who say your kid your problem, yes this is my problem and I did my best to do sth to sit by my child so I will ask anyone to swap with me until I find the right person who doesnt care about TC and care more about showing act of kindness and have humanity. Now rethink about it on how tomorrow you all could show a bit of your kindness, if you have any, to anyone in your sorrounding. your parents/kids/neighbors/colleague/starbucks employee.
Once you give people the right to vote to take other peoples money the downfall of the republic is inevitable. Who’s really selfish here?
Microsoft employees are low income tbh they're just upset in life because they're tier 2
So if there was an empty row I front why was the young lady being asked to move?
This is factually incorrect. Wealthy people on average donate more to charity, both in nominal terms and as a percent of their income than regular middle class folks
The ones who aren’t loose screws give opportunities
Giving money to a priest abusing children is only one form of charity. I see poorer people as being more likely to help family/friends/homeless rather than to a tax dodging church
1) It would be difficult for someone younger, who presumably doesn't have kids, to sympathize with you 2) She has every right to refuse. It's her seat. Why do you feel entitled to it? If you are traveling with your kids, the burden of the logistics falls on you, not her. 3) I fail to see how you came to your conclusion based on your example.
Another entitled parent. Ur kids, ur problem
You sound like a warm person
Why does the other MS person need to move? Maybe they paid to upgrade the seat and you can eff off. So much entitlement here
If you’re flying with children , and need to sit with them , pay/ book accordingly , this is some entitled nonsense... she was indifferent because it wasn’t her fault you planned poorly , and you had another option where you didn’t even need to bother them.
If the seat you are offering is worse than the seat I have, GFY.

And you sound entitled just because you have kids, like many parents out there.
And no where in the post they specify how this whole thing is tied to higher income.
