Comment on They wonder why nobody wants kids anymore.

My company just transitioned to a system where we get 30 days of paid leave annually. Sounds good for an American company, right? But that 30 days includes every category of leave (except parental, which is at least something.)
So in addition to maybe you want to take a vacation, this “bank” of leave also includes sick days, anything related to your kids after they’re born, jury duty (you’re required by federal law to attend if selected) and everything else. This is completely legal where I live btw.

It is your duty to cough on managers every time you’re encouraged to come in sick.
