Apple and Facebook say they'll shell out out as much as $20,000 for women to put their parenthood plans on ice.
The firms also hope the incentive will help women balance child-rearing and work life. However, even as success rates continue to rise, there are no guarantees the method will lead to conception down the road.

LOL! It’s all good. As long as it gets out.

It does not seem to pro family does it?
To: A_Former_Democrat
It is certainly a novel solution to the work-life balance problem.
And an interesting way to advertise themselves to feminists as “family friendly”.

Sure would be handy if some pandemic came through and wiped out a significant part of the population. Good thing Ebola isn’t easily transmitted. /S

Sounds like a Sexual Discrimination lawsuit in the making, unless of course they are going to “offer” the same services to men.

So what happens if the employee turns up pregnant? Does she need to give the money back?

A bridge too far. Way too far. It will not turn out well for anyone.

Pretty damned gross, if you ask me.
Humans and families, love of God and fellow man, all sacred life experiences, are just garbage to these billionaire-owned companies.
The only thing that matters is their Initech pagan companies and their wanker nerd culture.

It does not seem to pro family does it? It's "profamily" in the sense that they tolerate the concept, just don't act on it!
What does the fed say about this end-run-around for avoiding absences due to pregnancy (which are said to be protected against dismissal and denial of promotion)?
