Denmark’s generous child care and parental leave policies erase 80% of the ‘motherhood penalty’ for working moms

Return to Office mandates are purely about causing sufficient friction to compel people to quit.
Easier PR posture than a layoff.
For certain leadership teams, the fact women (or caregivers) are disproportionately affected is just a bonus.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.
