Let's work from home when the kids are sick, thank you great company that I am allowed to slave away for you while taking care of my sick kid! It isn't even a US company it seems.

Edit: guess I should have posted to unpopularopinions instead!

I just wanted to add I cut off the photo of the person on purpose. She is posting that with her sick child in her lap and that photo has been taken by some other person, not a selfie. If you are not feeling that the content of the post is bad, you hopefully still agree that presenting your sick child in an almost professionally looking photo to the world for LinkedIn clout is not great.

For me the issue is that this is presented as a great thing that only hybrid offers. But it is the thing that full remote offers, too. And you're quite lucky to WFH 3/4 work days (also to have a 4-day work week, I guess, if that's so I'm really glad at least someone has it already)

My company doesn't enforce office at all, it's just a measly 40 working days per quarter that we are required to come to the office. I agree that it makes sense to see each other in person every now and then, it's just the way it's done doesn't really encourage planning to gather a team at the same location, just ticking the checkboxes
