[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this causes some anger because of the way the US system is set up. I've previously worked for multiple companies in Canada (12-18mon mat leave), when someone goes on mat leave they generally hire a contract for the same amt of time. There are no hard feelings because someone else has to cover and do 2x work. The person who just got a new job/promotion/stretch assignment is thrilled! If the person decides not to return to work, that job is basically theirs on a permanent basis. 
I don't fault anyone for taking their full, entitled leave, and using that time to decide what they want to do going forward. Maybe thats being a SAHP, maybe it's a different job. Either way, it really doesnt affect me. [/quote]

Ooof, 12-18 months of isolation. I would have killed myself. Literally. The isolation and PPD was so bad that going back to work saved my life.[/quote]
Haha, you don't have to take it all if you don't want. During the pandemic (july 2020), one of my friends went back early because her husband was laid off. But it's always nice to have the option! You do have to decide ahead of time, as your payment rate is lower on the 18mons vs the higher rate for 12mon. [/quote]
