What do you think about this graphic?

And what If you keep having kids?


I could move to Sweden and just knock up Inga and Elsa and be set.

and what if you have an octomom situation? 3840 days paid vacation over a span of 2000 work days?

I'd be poking holes in my own condoms.

leave it up to the companies

the government should't mandate any of this

I read that as the parents get 480 days total, not each. So it's not like both parents can just take off the whole year.

It's no secret that most developed countries have more worker friendly vacation and leave structures than the U.S.

This is something we recently discussed at our office. Our staff is 94% male, and up until now we haven't offered any sort of paternity leave other than allowing them to take time off at their own discretion and use vacation days or sick days. We are a family business and try to treat our employees like family, and while we do that in a number of ways, I think we could improve on others, such as paternity leave.

I'll see your graphic and rise you....

Norway has a pretty sweet deal as well. The woman can take almost a whole year off with 80% pay.

My wife and I met some Norwegians during our honeymoon and we got in a discussion about maternity leave. The woman had 3 kids within 6 years. She was off of work for 3 years.

ETA: I guess it helps when your country is swimming in oil cash.

Fathers have a right to FMLA just like mothers. Don't know where they came up with that bogus claim.

Of course, you don't get paid for FMLA, but why should you?

I would go to the bar and knock up as many women as I can. I would have enough children to repopulate a small island.
