Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

In my working experience it is the ultimate get out of work excuse. Few questions/resistance offered from managers who then make the other workers who don't have kids cover shifts, work late, do the crap jobs that nobody wants to do, etc
Has he ever tried setting boundaries around that? Is he getting compensated more for coming in on a weekend?
Guess it's time for you and he to have some kids! If you don't want to 'steal' pictures from facebook, there's always the new image generators.
Can he say no? Another way to view this is that because y'all don't have kids he has an opportunity to make more money than all his coworkers who have kids, assuming he's choosing to do this work
I guess I've never had a job or been a manager who questioned someone for calling out sick. Doesn't matter why someone is calling out sick unless it becomes a pattern
