Sorry, but she should have performed as per her employment contract.

In this country what's legal isn't always moral. And,of course,the reverse is also true.

I noticed Yahoo didn't allow any comments on their article. Prevented the majority from pointing out the mom's responsibility, or lack of it.

[Dilbert San Diego]

She named her son Jettson????

[Tired of Taxes]

She shouldn’t owe the company for the paid time-off that she accrued and was required to take.

But she’s not arguing about the money owed; she says she’s just warning other people that they could owe money if they switch jobs while on leave.

So the 30-year-old mom took three unpaid months off to care for her newborn son, Jettson.

And her dog, Astro?

This is why I don’t hire women of child bearing age. I’ve had good luck with 40-50 year olds.

Meet Jettson:

[dfwgator]

Well at least she has some help at home....

[lesko]

Jettson? What the hell is that?

[strider44]

she should have to pay double just for naming her son “Jettson”

[Hatteras]

[Bon mots]

She has a vagina, right?

Oh the Entitlement...

Woman dumps employer who was paying her to stay home with the kids and takes another job; whines because her employer won’t keep paying her maternity leave; media tries to paint employer as evil guy.

There should be no such law. You work, you get paid. You don’t work, you don’t get paid. Save your money while you’re working because you might need it when you can’t work. Oh, but that’s old fashioned common sense, formerly called “prudence.”

[moovova]

“Jettson”

No. Please tell me Mom didn’t do that to Junior.

I had an employee who was calling in sick while he was actually working at a new job. I found out and called the new place and told them I was from a furniture rental place and needed to verify something with this guy. They put him on the phone and I told him it would be a mistake to ever use my company as a job reference. Probably should have sued him, but this was Canada..

[VanDeKoik]

She didnt realize it wasn’t a vacation.

[grania]

Paid maternity leave (which I disagree with) of course should come with strings attached. Work for at least one year afterwards, or return the pay and benefits. Otherwise, of course it will be taken advantage of. I’m a total Luddite....would rather moms stayed at home to raise the kids.

[bert]

She is a common, ordinary run of the mill thief

[Chode]

her "current" employer would do well to take this as a sign of her character and act accordingly
