I agree with you as far as a breach of trust being a breach of trust, no matter what. I can think of a whole lotta things that would piss me off just as much as cheating - the "coming home with a new car without first discussing" being one of them.

Throwing my support in here, too.
Right? The attitudes here pretty much demonstrate WHY Planet Fitness' philosophy is so appealing.
TJ Maxx, Marshalls, et al are great for cheap workout clothes.
...Are you my husband?
People love to gym-shame and workout-shame.
Ditto here! I had a PF membership that I used for strength training when I was training for a triathlon, and my super-buff super-cheap buddy did as well. I just needed access to some dumbbells and a treadmill for when it was rainy outside. Worked for me and was cheap. Never felt unwelcome.
Exactly.
Exactly, it sounds like the mother was annoyed (justifiably - sounds like the alternative was pretty difficult, and expecting her to work overtime was ridiculous), and made her annoyance known, and so the supervisor put pressure on her to resign.* That's really pretty terrible.
If having a 20-40min break a day total is an issue for the company for the woman to pump breast milk, then they should just say "Okay maternity leave is 6 months (suggested time to exclusively breastfeed for)" and leave it at that. Or allow her to work from home during the four months after maternity leave. Or put her…
It definitely seems excessive to me. Some others are talking about breastmilk contamination and other crap that is really bizarre to me - Some people seem to act like breastmilk is some sort of volatile compound.
Gah, I remember coming back (to my all-male department) and feeling like I damn well better not let any tiny little crack show (from my exhaustion, post-partum depression, breastfeeding issues), feeling bad enough about sneaking off for 20 minutes twice a day to pump and 45 min on my lunch to breastfeed and leaving at…
I met my husband at 20, married him at 25, am now 27 and we're still strong. But a lot of my friends who got married around the same time I did are already divorcing (by "a lot" I mean, like, three couples). In retrospect I wonder if they got married because that was the "thing" to do now that they're a certain age? …
*raises hand*
MTE! That cheeky smile like "yeah, I did this and am not entirely sure I pulled it off, but whatever, IT'S MY MOVIE." I just love it.
And what if they gain the weight back, as most people do? Are they no longer as good, then?
I do endurance races a couple times a year, and when I'm training for something I always lose weight but typically gain it right back afterwards.
I sincerely doubt that they didn't understand what they were signing off on. I suspect the problem is the perception that "good" women wouldn't need those types of nasty abortion services anyways, so why cover them.
My 2 year-old just went through a phase where he was getting up at 5:30am most days. Now he's pushed it back to 6:30 and we're thanking our lucky stars.
This is what so many people end up missing - it isn't just teenagers being "lazy" or not wanting to get up - their biology is such that their circadian rhythm has them going to bed late and sleeping in later.
