I'm not the one moaning. Lamea was pointing out that different employees get different benefits, and I just comments that companies shoudl treat all their staff equally.
As you say, it makes no difference to me since the company isn't going to give me any extra money.
But unfortunately all companies do now ask prospective recruits if they are married and how many school age children they have.
Given the global economic situation, do you think companies prefer employees who cost them extra in school fees, or employees with no family who are happy to work weekends and evenings?
There are plenty of offshore jobs where the preference has always been for single men. Now that preference is extending as companies struggle to pay for villas for families versus apartment for singles, air tickets for families versus air tickets for singles... the list goes on. The money simply isn't there for families anymore.
