See today where DC is trying to enforce PRIVATE employers give 4 months PAID leave for ‘family matters’ - pregnancy, adoption, etc etc etc .....
Not sure I am for this or not but do know that when a 30 year old Rookie National took PATERNITY leave in the middle of a Pennant race I was sort of dumfounded?????
Like the announcers do baseball for about 9 months of the year taking ‘vacation’ in July...????
Of course I grew up in an era that when Football ended, Basketball and Hockey started, when they finished, Baseball started and when it ended, Football was ready to go.
My bday is/was in early Oct and I clearly remember growing up to the ‘sadness’ of the Dodgers losing the World Series ‘for my birthday’ BUT they turned it all around in 55.
Here it is Oct 6 and the Baseball playoffs are just beginning, Football already 4 games into the season, Hockey and Basketball getting set to tip off the season.
I remember a time when employers respected employees and the good employers did not have to be regulated into treating people decently but at the same time employees did not think that somehow their employers were responsible for anything other than a days pay for a days work. These egg heads today think their employer is their daddy and are responsible for every facet of their lives..it is insane:(
