It's fine for her but what about her coworkers. I had one take off 8 weeks this year for maternity leave and my work load essentially doubled. People are always going to take advantage of "free" benefits and govt mandated time off and the people that suffer are the other workers.
How is that any different than carrying someone's workload when they go on vacation? It's called adapt and overcome. You'd get the same benefits. If you feel so slighted by the extra workload, then have a kid of your own so you can take advantage of the time off too.
People don't go on vacation for months at a time.... HUGE difference.
Yes they do. I used to have a co-worker who would go on vacation to Pakistan every year for the entire month of January.

As a person who is entitled to federally supported maternity leave, it's nice to see that some employers in the US are stepping up.

IT does what they want though. Ours works from home half the week. Clinical staff are different. As a mid level or nurse or tech try good luck telling your manager that you taking a month off.

Well if you are going to insult my intelligence for no reason, I guess we have nothing to talk about then.

I guess the question is, why has almost every country except for the US figured out how to work around this?

To bad that people that want kids can't work it to were one is home to raise the kid instead of daycare and the school system raising them. Maybe people shouldn't have Kids if they both have to work all the time....

I see. So the liberal snipe was TOTALLY called for because you think I can't tell the difference between 6 months and 1 month? No apology either? I guess we really don't have anything to talk about. You win the 4th grade argument you tried to start with me. Congratulations.
