[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got three pregnant employees that will not qualify for paid parental leave - they sure as hell do not want to use up their leave right now before their babies are born...[/quote]

Oh man, I feel for those employees. [/quote]

Can you imagine preparing to give birth and thinking you have paid leave saved up, then boom pandemic hits. Not to mention the anxiety of going to the hospital during a virus outbreak. We need to have some compassion and humanity right now, not just “too bad, so sad, shoulda saved more leave.”[/quote]

Can you imagine having two kids in college and having the stock market tank.  I thought I was prepared.  I saved.  I invested.  I took a portion out to keep it safe for next year.  Nonetheless the invested part just changed. My CSS profile is based on 2018 so nothing will change there.  Will the gov help?[/quote]

That sounds like a frustrating and difficult situation. I think I see what you’re getting at here. But I don’t understand the lack of compassion here for those who might be hit hard by the OPM approach. I’m really glad some were able to save large amounts of leave, but why is it so hard to understand that others might have low leave balances for legitimate reasons?[/quote]
