[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]* Gender-neutral paid leave for new parents of new children (includes biological, adopted and foster)
* Six months total: 3 months fully paid, 3 months of partially paid leave or return to work for 3 months part-time with full-time pay
* Same for medical leave
* 1 month caregiving leave

We’re a small org (less than 50 people), but they’re very serious about diversifying their staff and especially leadership and I told them
this is how you do it.[/quote]

I wonder if you’re going to get the result you want. I think there’s a segment of the workforce that will like this but I don’t see it as universal by any means and I think a lot of people are going to resent it. I also think it’s going to be tough for a small organization to actually provide this. [/quote]

+1 it’s excessively greedy. You’re making new mothers look like freeloaders with this policy. I’m trying to understand why any company would want to pay someone their full salary for 3 months when they’re completely MIA and THEN on top of that pay them another 3 months of a full salary when they’re only working part-time. That sounds so incredibly entitled and short-sighted.[/quote]

This is such an American view,  and not in a good way. Why does it work in almost all developed countries  and there is no resentment and so unsupported here?

The same thing with universal healthcare. People are just too selfish.
