  Pretty much. Leave sharing policies are usually set up such that in some sort of extraordinary medical circumstance, employees can transfer paid leave to one another.

  The idea is sorta that if a loved one has a major medical emergency and needs a lot of care for 3 months, other employees can transfer paid leave to help cover gaps. This makes sense as a way to cover edge cases in extreme circumstances, but “is having a child” definitely isn’t such a case.

  FFXIV probably deserves a spot on the list, the initial launch was so bad they just remade the game.

  I mean… in fairness to Google, wouldn’t this be an email address that has almost exclusively emailed a massive chunk of users all at once, without obvious connection, and with exactly identical content? The URL it’s sent from doesn’t resolve to a webpage, and isn’t on the same domain I found attached to other information/copies of the settlement.

  None of what I said is disagreeing with your point. You're reading into my response opposition that wasn't offered.

  If you have $1m, you can draw something like $30-40000 a year reasonably safely. That's obviously a lot of money, but isn't what most people in the mentioned countries think of as "living large" if it's your whole income, especially for a couple/family. That puts you at about the median individual income for Japan and NZ, a bit above in Korea, and below for most of western Europe and Aus.

  Obviously that's without working, but that's kinda the point. It's wealth, but not enough that most people in those places would be comfortable not working if that's how much they earned. Hell, in the US that wouldn't even cover childcare for a few kids in many locales.
