  A Different Kind of Discrimination While I was in training this week, I overheard one of my coworkers talking about traveling for a former job. "I had to go to Florida for 2 weeks a month and then I would come home for 2 weeks. And this lasted THREE MONTHS! " I leaned over to him and half-jokingly said, "Hey, R-man, try that schedule for three years . " His reply?
"Oh, Panda. It's no big deal for you. I mean, it's not like you are married or have kids like I do. " Hold it right there, bud. Just because I'm single means I don't have the right to have a normal life? Why? Because there couldn't possibly be anyone who cares about me or needs me back home? And on a side note, perhaps I'm single because I'm on the road all the fucking time . Single people are forced into staying later at work. (I gotta get my kid from daycare  have fun staying until midnight to finish that PowerPoint presentation!
) Single people don't get to stay home because the nanny called in sick. Single people supposedly have no reason to take advantage of the benefit of "working from home. " Single women get ogled and asked out at work (Im hoping thats just the pervs I work with). closed circuit to Duf: of course these are generalities - you'd stay late at the office if needed. Dont hate.
