If you want an example of an asinine government regulation breaks the back of a business in the USA, research the Family Medical Leave Act.
Reality can be an uncomfortable thing for leftists.
Part time “professionals” are generally a problem and create undue hardship on their co-workers.
Working 3 days a week, they take a day to get back up to speed and they can’t be given any work that requires follow up on the off days, and if they are, then a co-worker has to waste time getting up to speed on the issue.
It is also true that almost all part-time professionals are women, “who want to have it all”.
The UK sets the PC bullshit standard to which the USSA daily aspires.
All of that is perfectly true. Note also, that Obama is pushing the American economy toward a lot of part-time work. Soon, everywhere you look, there will be men and women trying to “get back up to speed” to do the job which they haven’t performed in 3 or 4 days. It will be a constant annoyance.
If you now have over 50% of 1st year medical students being female, guess guess where the next group of surgeons come from?
First hand knowledge here: part time female physicians are going to be the norm in the US. Already certain specialties, including my own, are suffering from the consequences. Judging by the balance of female enrollment in medical schools, there is no reversing this trend, except for male foreign medical graduates filling the gaps. So, say hello to Dr Muhammad.
And in my specialty ER, you now have a lot of married couples, and because of the income NEITHER one has to work a full schedule.
The death panels will have a way with dealing with those who enjoyed the good life and then decided to leave a mess for the next generation.
Same reason women on submarines will be a total disaster for the Navy.
LOL!
ROFL facebook forever!
Women's employment is one of the main reason for growing income inequality that the left never talks about.
Women will generally not marry a man who earns less than her.
Instead of 100 men becoming doctors and heading 100 families, you end up with half as many families with twice the income.
Having neither left a mess for anyone nor experienced much of ‘the good life’, I’ll cordially assume that your comment was directed at the situation in general . . .
Absolutely, I don't know what your personal situation is.
However, I've seen quite a bit of gloating from boomers (not you) over the past few years about how their life was good and their glad that they won't have to deal with mess that the young must face.
With the US now a part-time workweek nation, one must wonder about the part-time, Obamacare mandated, part-time role of hospital employed, nationally unionized physicians of the very near future when all private MDs become essentially extinct?
Imagine medical residents on a less than 30 hr “workweek”...uhhh!
While M. Phillips draws attention to the utilization of scarce doctors in the UK, the part-time aspects of Obamacare have not been anticipated in the medical debate going on in the US regarding the doctor shortages looming here and the role of US female MD’s, most of which are essentially part-time, and whose practice lives are shortened compared to men. I read a few years ago that women MDs in the US had a maximum practice life of just 16 years.
