I have a sick (but not dying) sister with 3 kids. As far as work are concerned, I visit every fortnight to help out and rush up to see them every time there’s an emergency or they need childcare.
I haven’t seen the sister in four years and only see my nephews twice a year when they visit Grandma but work don’t need to know that
Protip: you don’t owe your employer an explanation for turning down overtime, for refusing to do unpaid work, for refusing to pick up extra shifts, or for not being able to participate in heroics or death marches.
The worst part is your job thinking you can work infinite hours because you dont have a kid. Its a fucked up tax.

True, they also don’t owe you an explanation when they fire you.
Even in “at will” states (at least Ohio) you can collect unemployment if they fire you for a bullshit reason.
They do in civilized places
