Some are wondering if there’s a double standard at play.
Jorge Elorza, the mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, has reignited the work-life balance debate by bringing his one-year-old son Omar to work with him.
But while some are calling the mayor a role model, others are accusing him of using his baby as a prop to keep the media from being harsh with him. One Facebook commenter felt that it was “totally unprofessional” to have the baby at a press conference, and others continued the debate, with some supporting him and others insisting he uses the baby to make him more popular—a charge that would be unlikely if he were a woman, since women rarely find that babies make them more popular at work.
Still, it’s not an allowance that’s extended to all. Maribeth Calabra, president of the teachers union in Providence,that the mayor is getting special treatment, pointing out that teachers don’t have the same option, even when they have last-minute childcare issues.
