Netizens reflect the difference of being at higher authority post
One Twitter user Ashok Lalla said that was one of the perks of being CEO! Lesser minions might often not have such an options and often struggled to balance home and work. And it’s usually the woman who bore the brun of that.
Another Twitter user named Sachin agreed with the perks of being at higher level, said such things were available at higher management level only, for average office going couples, clearly its a day off from work. Need such acceptance at all levels.
A Twitter user named Siddhant Mishra wished that every employee of her company got this choice.
Highlighting the stark drudgery faced by a female labour worker, Twitter user Amit Mane wrote, “Sorry but Why this self glorification, with due respect its not big deal for CEO to do this. Look at labrours on farm or construction those mothers are handling 1000 time more difficult situation for years and years.”
That's how they react.
