TWO DAYS? That is insane. Maybe there's a workaround? Otherwise, how is it possible for women to work there?
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Is that paid, Jessica? FMLA allows for 12 without loss of benefits or position, if the company has more than 50 employees. [link]

Because books.
Not weeks. DAYS.
Good god. What about people who have C-sections?! Also, what Aims asked.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Two days? How is that even possible?

So clearly this company's maternity policies were based on watching Monty Python's The Meaning of Life...

The NY office has less than 50 employees, and I'll have been there less than a year so FMLA doesn't apply.
[eta: There is a provision to use accrued PTO to take more time off, but even that only gets me up to 3-4 weeks, max.]
Otherwise, how is it possible for women to work there?
Bingo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My god, they really don't like the miracle of life, do they? That's Maggie Thatcheresque.

I may have to seize the cat.
ita, I would wear pastels more if I could find 50s sundresses that would fit me. Especially if they were sea foam green or lavender. I do have the perfect brown shoes (for me). They're flats. And they aren't made anymore. Which is sad because I have them in both brown and black, and the black ones are worn out. So I have to get new black flats, and I can't get these perfect ones anymore.
I've started incorporating a lot more brown into my wardrobe in the past few years than ever before.

That sounds like our Paternity leave policy...but moms get more time.
Crazy.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Two days? Two mother fucking days?
Check with HR on FMLA, Jess. Of course the unpaid part sucks.
