There is a , there is a , a world where people were , grew , you know , grew up in a society where we were kind of taught to suppress it and suppress emotions . But I , I also wanna ask that if , if , if we get time off for pet bereavement , can we also get time off for a breakup or for a divorce ? You know , these are all things that or maybe we get the time off and maybe it's unpaid , but we're not gonna get penalized by it .
Perhaps . Unsurprisingly there is a generational divide here . Most baby boomers say no way while younger generations say their pets are their family .
I mean , obviously what you're seeing there on the screen seems extraordinarily disruptive . But on the other hand , it's like as a crying baby , disruptive as an emotional support dog . Um being disruptive and so sort of defining disruptive behavior is the first piece .
So , let's move on to more with our furry friends . Pets should paid pet bereavement be a thing . Nearly half of Americans think it should be .
Um , and exactly the way you want me to answer it . But I would say I'm for people getting time off to take care of their loved ones . All right .
