[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life keeps getting harder for American working parents.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/upshot/family-leave-cuts-deloitte-zoom.htmlWhy Two Big Companies Just Cut Paid Family Leave
Deloitte and Zoom are among the employers reducing support for working parents, signaling a retreat from a “golden age of benefits.”

Not long ago, employers were competing over who could be most generous in providing family-friendly benefits — things like paid parental leave, subsidized fertility treatments and even pet insurance. Paid leave was expanded to people who hadn’t gotten it before, like fathers and hourly workers.

Now, some companies are reconsidering.

The share of U.S. employers offering paid family leave dropped two percentage points in 2025, to 31 percent, according to an annual survey by the Society for Human Resource Management.

At least two large companies, Deloitte and Zoom, recently said they were cutting back the level of family leave they offered. At Deloitte, the cuts apply to people in certain administrative roles, and it is also reducing vacation time and eliminating financial support for adoption, surrogacy and I.V.F. for those employees.

The move could particularly affect female workers, analysts said, because paid family leave has been shown to help them stay employed.

golden age of benefits in quotation marks is certainly apt. [/quote]
