Noper. The situation is that If one of my colleagues goes off sick and cover is required to do their work/hours then they lose a proportion of their pay and I get it.
The company is a major international blue chip company with a name/brand that would be instantly recognisable to all !
Its the modern way you see and i expect that many employers will be adopteding similar practices.

Furthermore carers save the taxpayer vast sums of money which would otherwise have to be spent on providing long term care to the sick. disabled etc. If you are ever unfortunate enough to become disabled or to have to care for someone who is you'll have those rights too and I don't suppose you'll refuse the assistance they provide. As for the "caucasian,heterosexual,long suffering,non complaining male", presumably your belief is that they're immune from disability or a life of caring for others. Presumably they never do anything which incurs a net cost for anyone else - I mean there's no such thing as the "ordinary caucasian,heterosexual,long suffering,non complaining male" who leaves his wife and family, fails to support them and in so doing forces the taxpayer to provide.... Course not.....

I shall clarify. There was no sight of a father for the child nor any indication or implication that a father was available. Obviously there is a father for this child somewhere and so it would have been helpful if he had been available to comment on what his role is in the childs upbringing.
