[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. 38 is young and many people are starting families then. I'm 45 and want to retire at 55. I'm done working. I want to live, volunteer, enjoy the world. If we had more vacations and 35 hr workweeks,'I'd work longer but I'm exhausted. [/quote] +1 A lot of educated people have kids in their late 30s, early 40s. So, yes, her point is valid. She is "young" enough to still have kids. What company these days don't offer some form of maternity leave? The kinds that are stingy and probably not a great place to work for. I cringed reading OP's email as a 55 yr old woman. How clueless of you. [/quote] Because we have very very generous sick days per year that don’t expire. This particular women thinks we should give it day one. So nearly everyone gets it covered full pay. When hired she brought up maternity leave after a few weeks. I told her FMLA is one year, but she could do STD to cover 2/3rds and when she builds up sick days will cover rest. I don’t know how having an older work force who may get sick, go on disability would enjoy working OT though cover new hires taking off months in end in first year [/quote] But does your company allow pregnant women to take sick days for maternity leave? That's the sticking point. So, you are saying that you don't want to hire younger people in case they want to take leave to have kids, and the old foggies there don't want to have to cover for them? But they are ok for younger people to cover for them if those old people need to take a lot of sick leave because of old age issues? Who the heck do you think is going to pay into the social security program so you can collect it when you retire? -54 yr old woman[/quote]
