[quote=Anonymous]I'm posting this from the hospital because I'm so angry. My wife was due mid-October, but because I'm a fed and the cut-off for the paid parental leave is October 1, I am now screwed out of 12 weeks of paid leave. This is some grade-A bulls**t. It is a slap in the face that my office mates who will be taking FMLA in the next few weeks for their birth are going to get paid but my FMLA won't get paid. What a horribly written law.

Yes, I get the argument that "everything has a cut-off" but this was not the appropriate way to do it. It should've been effective the day the law passed back in December. But hey, Trump [i]needed[/i] his Space Force so we had to push through parental leave legislation that hadn't really been completely thought out ([url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/oops-some-federal-workers-are-not-covered-by-the-new-family-leave-law/2020/01/09/82b657b8-3248-11ea-9313-6cba89b1b9fb_story.html]*waves at the FAA and TSA and VA*[/url]) and Congress didn't have a pandemic back then causing [url=https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgwh.2020.00001/full]unprecedented levels of maternal and paternal depression and anxiety[/url]...sucks for us![/quote]
