So, once again I am being forced to work a holiday at my low class job. This is the fourth time in two years. I understand that I’m the lowest on the totem pole but also using the excuse that I “don’t have kids so it shouldn’t be a big deal that I work Christmas.” Excuse me??? Fuck you! Just because I chose not to have 8lbs ripped through my vag, I should be expected to bow down to those that did choose it? Being childless doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t mind spending Christmas with my husband, family and friends. For a job that claims it’s all about helping the helpless, they sure know how to fuck over the childless. —Baby Prejudice Bites

You might want to save this bitch for a time when you are higher on the totem pole. Lowest is lowest is lowest, vag rippage is moot.
I’m so over this argument. Someone has to work Christmas, it’s you. Your husband will understand. “baby prejudice” … please.
you said it yourself, you are working because you are lowest on seniority. i suspect someone used the ‘childless’ remark just because you were whining and bitching so much and they were desperate to shut you up.
are you certain you should be working for a humanitarian-type workplace?
‘…Just because I chose not to have 8lbs ripped through my vag…’ – pardon me? I ordered mine from Sears.
you too? i got one at sears and the rest when i ordered 10 pizzas. one ‘a them coupon book deals.
It’s a discriminatory practice. I have no kids. Nobody who has chosen “that lifestyle” should interfere with my right for time off. Close down or split staff using a lottery.
Would you rather see someone with a 5 year old miss out on Christmas?! Won’t someone please think of the children?
Your disposable childless income discriminates against me economically, Meaty. Pay me.
Chances are Amy, someone who chose not to have children won’t consider someone else’s kids as that isn’t part of their lifestyle. Besides it’s moot because they ARE the lowest on the totem pole. If someone with less seniority had asked them to swap days and tried to put a guilt trip on them because of the children, the bitch would be legit IMO.
Umm its nothing to do with kids, its because your at a low end job thats open christmas. Holidays are not something you are entitled to, and you are getting overtime pay so i don`t see how this is a bitch.
If someone told the OP that one of the reasons they have to work Christmas is because they don’t have kids, then it is discrimination. It doesn’t matter that they have the least seniority. You can’t just say shit like that to people in the workplace. If someone said something like that to me, I’d be raisin’ hell. My mother has worked many Christmases (sp?) in my life and I’ve worked a few too, I haven’t turned into a criminal.
Acutally my dear Furious, I pay through the nose via my income tax for rotten kids – yours and all the others.
Your low-taxed income discriminates economically against people like me. That’s why your kids teeth get fixed. That’s why they get free vaccines. That’s why…
Anyway, become more informed on ecomomics before you open the “stupid cunt door” again.
Yeah it was a joke, meaty. Maybe I should have peppered it with the word cunt so you would get it, Cunty McCunterson? Sooo edgy gay guy of you to always say cunt. Continuing the species isn’t a lifestyle choice you dumb motherfucker. You are the worst person on this board.
“ecomomics” is more alchemy than science, anyhoo.
“Nobody who has chosen “that lifestyle” should interfere with my right for time off.”
What lifestyle? The one that advocates Lucifer because God abhors his lifestyle? 😀
‘Because my colleagues have kids’ is USUALLY the reason I work Christmas….
though it’s more by my choice than Company Policy.
Brandon, how do you know they’re getting extra pay?
Through ridiculously conniving government labour laws and creative ‘classification’, I don’t and won’t get any.

Call in sick. Problem solved.
I don’t think that it is a childless issue necessarily. I was a parent during my last year of residency and I worked Christmas and New Years (I worked it every year of residency now that I think of it). It sucked but eventually I got to choose whether to work it or not. Just takes time.
I don’t think their issue was that fact that they were working on xmas but rather the “no kid” comment attached to it. I’d be pissed too. They can’t use that as a reason. They just can’t.
I agree with Chuck. Having kids doesn’t make you special or upgrade your status over people without kids. If you make the choice to have kids, then that’s your issue.
people with kids get priority at christmas OP because christmas is fucking magical to kids.
What’s not to understand, ya old spinster?
PS I don’t have kids either – but i know one thing. Adults don’t react to disappointment the same way kids do. Why? Because i remember being one. When did you lose your way op? Huh? When DID you?
yeah did you call in sick op?
Instead of using all your energy to bitch, why not use your energy to creatively work around the problem?
You don’t have kids. You had time.
Kids are dumb.
It’s been proven:

Just Amy – “Won’t someone please think of the children”
Hell that reminds me of that joke ….
About the anti social misfit & the Priest meeting at a school about his behaviour problems in class, some one yells “Fire, Fire …we have to help the children”
The misfit says “Fuck The Children”
& the Priest says “Do you think we have time ?”
I heard he was modeled after a kid
