Episode #6 - Period Leaves, Period (21m) EnterpriseJoy
-
- Management
The title of this episode is Period Leaves, Period. The second period is a full-stop, in-case you didn't get the pun. It's usually unusual for men to talk about periods, but I'm going to do it anyway. It all started with the Founder & CEO of Zomato, publishing a blog on 8th of August 2020. Zomato introduced upto 10 days of Period Leaves for women, including transgender people. And the media went berserk. There was coverage in national news papers and news channels, there were interviews and statements from Zomato officials, however what caught my attention was the eruption on social media. The social media went wild with supporting and against supporting such a policy; there were men & women who were supporting it and getting lashed by those not supporting it, the same happened the other way around, although if you were a man and not supporting it you were just a jerk, women not supporting it got some coverage and commented up on. So I thought, why shouldn't I look at it objectively, keeping all the pseudo-science BS out, and just focusing on what people have to say about such policies.
Interesting bits and pieces:
00:01:24 - What is Zomato?
00:02:07 - Zomato's blog Introducing Period Leaves (Link in the description)
00:04:07 - Does this policy violate the notion of equality at work?
00:04:47 - Equality vs Equity (Link in the description)
00:09:38 - Does this policy give a handicap status to women?
00:11:00 - Temporarily Able Bodied (TAB)
00:14:25 - Can this policy be misused?
00:16:23 - Trust
00:19:34 - Conclusion
