Why in the world does this matter

>she was granted 6 months maternity leave at full pay

Good, people have kids and financial support for them during a relatively short period of the child's life is great.

>right before she was due to come back she sent a note to her direct superior essentially saying she wouldn't come back if she wasn't paid more money.

Also good, it's important to know your worth and get paid it. If she asks for more than what they'll pay her than that's that and it won't happen, otherwise there's only benefits in asking.

>unlike the rest of us - fully remote due to some bullshit note from her doctor

Seems like a problem with your workplace demanding you go in more than a fault of hers.

Oh are we talking about guns now? Feels like an odd jump to make considering all the obvious differences between a rental truck and a gun, might make for a bad comparison. I was just noting that there are in fact steps that put control on who can use these rental trucks, since of course it's important to have safety mechanisms in place to make sure we reduce chances of people getting hurt.

Economies of scale is a pretty basic phrase in business/engineering. It essentially means as you get bigger things can be made more efficient. It’s why we have centralized power plants instead of a personal gas generator in everyone’s home as our main method of electric generation, it’s just more efficient energy wise to have one big plant.
