I think, IIRC, that your tenure with Old Company should apply in this instance since New Company bought it.
Technically, they didn't. It's a strategic business partnership. New Company is offering some of Old Company's employees positions there out of the goodness of their hearts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That sounds very much like the word I was brainfarting on, yes. Thank you.

Because books.
Jesus, Jess. I don't even know what to say. It's amazing how much people and businesses can suck.

I may have to seize the cat.
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.
Is short term disability part of your benefits package? (It wasn't for me.)

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.

I'm flabbergasted. I can't help but wonder what their personal defense of just two days is. Two days--it barely seems like it's worth giving more than just the day off for giving birth--I guess it's in case labour runs long.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Can you talk to HR and try and negotiate something better? "I'm very interested in this position, and I would be awesome for you because of why I'm awesome, but as the maternity leave policy stands, I can't accept it."
