He is like those things that we never appreciate until they're gone -- Freedom, electricity, toilet paper.

C0D4681467yDown side to being that guy, you do a lot of unthankful work.
Benefit of being that guy, everyone else stresses when they work out how much work you do. -
Froot75567yHad a baby and she's back in a month? Mothers get a 2 year leave when they have baby where I live. One month is nothing, nearly not enough time

2erXre525047ylucky you @Froot, here where I live a man has one day off by law in case of child birth. that nearly is not sufficient for the whole birth process at all

2erXre525047y@ocab19 in my team everybody is able to do others work. but we worked hard on that achievement... need a lot of know how transfers and good review processes, but it really pays off when somebody is away from work

theNox94777y@J4s0n I thought "to have a baby" means to actually "carry out the baby" and that's not usually the guy's part, but maybe I'm wrong

In Germany it means to get a baby. And both get parents so both get the baby while the women gives birth. (they say :"we get a baby"). But I think that's different in every culture. -
theNox94777y@ocab19 hmm I don't know, it was just the first thought that came to my mind like 'baby' 'guy' 'huh?' then I scrambled it together and wrote a comment 😂 it's actually pretty clear that the guy is not the one having the baby

One of my coworkers just had a baby, so he left work today and won't be back for a month or more.
We (accidentally) took the client's website down for 3 hours, messed up our git repo and when we finally fixed both things, I had to spend the rest of the day editing fucking vector graphics (which I had never done before and completely suck at).
I never realized how much work this guy does or how important he is until now.
