Fathers Day at work

[Michael Parry]

Hi All

Just wondering what opinions are on this one.

At work today because of Fathers Day they were giving all Dads a free bottle of wine for working today. If your not a dad you get nothing. Am I being stupid that thinking this is Unconscious bias or discrimination because your not a father.

Today can be a very upsetting day for many and it got thinking that my employers have made it worse by giving this gift solely to dads..

Thanks

You should learn to let things go more easily rather than get worked up over small things IMO.

You’re a mum?

I do agree actually that it's a bit of a douche move.

We have a whip round and card for folks birthdays. This discrimination is abhorrent.

I worked all day today as well. Just about to open a beer that I paid for myself as my reward.

That is clear unconscious bias, even though it's completely conscious

I hope you're a father else you're misappropriating my culture.

Am I being stupid

Yes

Unconscious bias

Only if you drink too much wine

Be less careful with your contraception and next year you'll be quids in

What is it with these random 1 post count posters? Aware we've all got to start somewhere, but usually you'd start with a hello, rather than a semi serious post.

But - on the OP's topic, bit of a weird move by the employer, as far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter two hoots to my employer if I'm a Father or not (I am twice over), work is work and I'm there to earn and equally earn them some coin, and can see how the non father's might take a beef with the free wine. Possibly a misguided gesture, but you've got to be so careful these days.

Do you get this annoyed when it's some one else's birthday too or what about mother's day

 

[rodders]

You get to go home and not have screaming kids to deal with, that's better than a bottle of wine lol.

 

[Haggisman]

Bit of a **** move to be honest, I bet people would be up in arms if it was only Christians who were given a bottle of something at Christmas?

 

[HoneyBadger]

I’m not even a dad, but the lady at the kebab shop we just ordered from also delivered me a free cake! Result!

Unconscious bias

Get a grip.

Unless those small things are apostrophes .
