A few days back MSFT was a trend setter by being the first to announce no wage cuts for temp workers (https://us.teamblind.com/s/EnU4Gd5g) Today it did another fantastic thing. For parents who are unable to wfh because they have children who need attention and can't go to daycare or schools, MSFT will give 2 weeks of base pay without deducting any leaves! Beyond two weeks parents can apply for the care giver leave policy to get a few additional weeks of full pay. Beyond thst they humbly request parents to find a better solution. YES, this is a company that cares!
I know a bunch of MS contractors who are forced to go to office or lose jobs even tho no one is there... So maybe solve that instead of continually tooting how trend setting you are
Those contractors should talk to their employers. Not msft. Msft policy is straight, you don't need to come
Exactly the unsympathetic response I expected, the people in the weak negotiation place should stand up for themselves. If ms is being a good Samaritan really do it
Appreciate the employer's concern to its employees. But, isn't this blatant bias asking the rest of them to work since they don't have kids or would they be paid twice for working in these conditions or would they be compensated in some other way for their work?
Hence 'samaritan'. As a Samaritan you don't always do the right thing for everyone, but for the most needy. This is not the time to feel entitled, but to lend a hand to who needs it most.
Not pointing out at your usage of that word! It's not being entitled. It just shows how hypocritical society can be. I'm not even opposed to the idea of parents with kids being given off but the other employees need to have some sort of equal comforts offered. I hope they bring that up as well!
All this āblatant bias, what about those with no kidsā is so American. No sense of community or greater good. Other developed countries suffered through wars, recessions, depressions and realized that they need to help each other. May be this pandemic will teach Americans a thing or two.
