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.

I contribute my own shock at that absurd maternity leave policy.

I just don't think there's any way I can take this job. And I don't have anything else on the horizon.

Oh, Jessica, I am so sorry. That's two days more than my employer offers, but I had PTO accumulated, and DC actually has it's own FMLA-type law that's even more generous (if I'd needed it). A quick check shows me that New York has no FMLA type law.

Not that I know of, but I haven't seen the complete paperwork yet. The CEO just forwarded me the paragraphs relating to maternity leave.
