Should employees with children get special treatment














1















I've been struggling to determine the right way to approach the following situation: My manager decided that I was the correct person to send on a grueling, long-term travel task, and he specifically stated that it was because I don't have kids.



On the one hand, I do have a bit of sympathy for coworkers with kids, as I believe it's tough, and that culminates in the form of me not really caring too much if they leave at 4pm to go pick up their kids while I stay until 7pm.



On the other hand, I had no personal input into the decisions these people made in their personal/family lives, so why should my work life be affected? Should your home life decisions affect my workplace decisions? Is it the manager's role to decide that my personal choice of not having kids (yet) should sign me up to help bare the burden of raising their kids?

          I think you're approaching this from the wrong direction. Instead of complaining how you have to do so much more difficult work instead of your colleagues, point out how you are doing so much more difficult work than your colleagues at your next pay review and request/demand that your pay reflect this.
