Married and Single Workers
I’m getting fed up with the attitude of the married workers. They disappear from work as and when they like and make the single non-married workers do their work.
As much as we express compassion towards those who are married and try to understand their difficulties of extra household burden.
There sometimes have to be a line drawn and not taking the singles and use them for granted.
These are the black sheep who are making employer be cautious towards hiring married staff and putting the hardworking people’s potential job opportunities at stake.
Tell your boss and it appears you are selfish. Don’t tell your boss and you have to tank the laziness of the married workers.

- Wow. A new form of discrimination
- Your last statement says it all. You want change but you don’t dare to highlight the issue
You don’t dare = You don’t deserve it
Simple rules of life. Stop hiding and open your golden mouth. - u can suan them indirectly that they are using married as excuse, without insulting the actual person. like “imaginary spouse”, “right/left hand” etc
- You are immature. You assume you will never need the help of a co-worker if you need to take time off to take care of your parents etc etc. A work place which supports the workers who genuinely need to take care of their family etc is a good workplace and you should treasure it! Wait till you work in a ‘sweat shop’ which treats you like dirt, then you will know the meaning of “fed up”.
- My boss thinks otherwise though. S/He prefers married employees, and best if they have a kid min. because they won’t job-hop as much as single employees as they prefers job stability and are too busy to be looking out.
