[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your company offers zero paid parental leave, they do not "pay well". I don't even want any more kids but I judge benefit packages partly based on parental leave. It is becoming the norm in the private sector, at least in high-earning professions (finance, tech, etc.). Even my journalist friends have paid leave now. I did take a year off and re-entered the workforce, due to unusual circumstances. It all worked out. But if I could do it again I would have returned to work sooner. Staying at home really took a toll on my wellbeing (read: drove me slightly insane). And that was WITH family help.[/quote] I took time off as well, and also would have tried to return sooner than I did. That way it isn’t stressful when it doesn’t happen right away. I think staying at home full time took a toll on my well-being too. And the timeline i had in my head didn’t help.[/quote]
