Bryan Singer being let go from his work on Bohemian Rhapsody brings the issue of Parentification in the “SPOTLIGHT”. Should people be given time off so that they can take care of ailing parents and if so should their be legislation to protect these actions? It seems obvious that any “good employee” would allow someone this time but how are we to determine how much time and how sick the parents need to be especially in a piece of legislation? This instead is the type of difficult questions an employee and employer should probably have before employment actual begins because every job has different needs and/or requirements that one piece of legislation might not cover. Sometimes common sense must prevail and those who feel they have a deeper obligation then their work assignments must take this risk.. For one can lose a job and get a replacement but a parent can never truly be replaced.
