Two days? How is that even possible?
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

That is just utter bullshit.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Ah yes, the craptacity of parental leave policies. The small companies I have worked for were willing to adhere to FMLA, but I put off the adoption work 2 times because of changing jobs and needing to get in a year with each to even qualify for it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The NY office has less than 50 employees, and I'll have been there less than a year so FMLA doesn't apply.
Well, in a word, fuck.
I think, IIRC, that your tenure with Old Company should apply in this instance since New Company bought it. Let me do some more digging.
Also, you might want to check into purchasing an AFLAC individual claim. A friend used it and they pay you pretty quickly. I just sent away for info on it, just in case.
