Tech firms face growing resentment of parent employees during Covid-19
I am a middle-aged adult with no children who&#x27;s worked at tech firms for the past couple decades. To be honest, the &quot;resentment&quot; of those without children have for &quot;benefits&quot; those with children get strikes me as extremely selfish, immature and displaying a total lack of empathy. This is time off specifically to take care of children, something now that has become exceedingly more difficult in Covid times.<p>What&#x27;s next, complaining that the cancer patient gets extra time off so why don&#x27;t I?<p>If anything, I&#x27;m thankful for all those people with kids who will (a) take care of the continuation of the human race, and more selfishly (b) support our society and economy when I am too old to do so.
