[quote=Anonymous][quote]o, the op has it correct. Companies don't want you to take 12 weeks unpaid and then still have 2 weeks vacation you can take a few months later when you come back. Major burn out when you return to work and then can't take a vacation for an entire year. Going back to work after maternity leave is very difficult. I got bronchitis a few months after returning and because I had no sick leave I just kept coming to work. It was hard, but I had no alternative. I wish I had the ability to take lwop.[/quote]

THIS.  and if it is PTO it has to be used for sick AND vacation.  Which means no leave for a sick OP. And a parnter can't handle every childcare illness, daycare closure, etc (and, what if partner is sick or an hourly job).  Plus, forget about an actual vacation.  What about  a death or illness in the family?  That's PTO.  Religious observance if you are not Christian?  That's PTO.  Brother gets married on a Friday evening?  That's PTO.  It's why PTO sucks once you get sick or have kids.  It's great if you have no kids and never get sick/injured.  And then once you do, you realize that your life become a rotating mess of work, family care, illness, and doctor visits.
