Vain Jangling
We are giving moms and parents a voice in …

It is interesting to listen to what people believe they are owed. Not (always) based on merit but (sometimes) merely because they want or feel they deserve it. And they have a voice (or the voice) of change simply by joining the team.

Take an individual who interviews for a specific job and is hired based on the job description and policies of the company. One would think they are accepting said description, benefits, and policies by agreeing to take the job. However, it seems today, some (or many) immediately or gradually begin to believe the rules should somehow be different now that they are there.

Some may claim it is for the greater good, for all mothers, for all parents, etc. but usually (often) further review does not always (normally) prove this. Then to take pride in shutting down the real work they were called to perform, until they get their way. Perhaps sometimes things do need to change, but it is merely vain jangling when attempting to justify it puts one’s job duties and everyone else on hold for their personal demand—for to say “X or work stoppage” is a demand.

It’s the new mindset: me before and above all others.
