[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am newly entering back into the workforce after working for myself for 15+ years, and considering a position that allows 14 weeks fully paid time off for all new parents (bio, adopt, or foster). And I know this sounds petty, so am glad it is anonymous. But: for those past their childbearing years, for those who may choose to remain childless, or for those who already have children, is there any equivalent compensation?[/quote]

If this the kind of question you have when returning to the workforce, just continue to work for yourself. It will be unpleasant to work with you and you will just be miserable about everything. [/quote]

correct.  you've been working for yourself too long and you will be unhappy.

You're used to being the boss and getting all of the rewards of your labor.  First it is paid parental leave, next you're going to be complaining about some other benefit, like the health insurance which covers IVF but you won't use those services, or paid public transit when you drive or walk to work.  Also, you're going to be unhappy with the comp /bonus plan because you will do the math and realize that, whatever they pay you and whatever the bonus plan is, the employer is making a profit from your labor.
