What's worse, the male goldbricks in the office are beginning to take "parental leave" - so for 12 weeks they expect somebody else in the office to do their work for them -- and they aren't even the ones who are bearing the baby!

I have worked since I was 17 y/o.
I worked in a number of jobs, but mostly office positions.
I have seen up close and personal what happened when one of the “ladies” on staff got pregnant and still wanted her “job”.
She took off for every conceived trip to the “doctor” she could schedule- on the health plan which impacted all of us.
She had her baby and then wanted her job back with holding seniority. No one had replaced her for any number of weeks, which meant that if the rest of us could do ALL the work, we really didn’t need her, and her wages could have been spread among those of use who didn’t leave to have “babies”.
She then got extra time off to take the new baby to the doctor, etc.
The long and short of it all is this:
The new “mom” got extra attention and priviledges the rest of us never got. Every job that had a deadline was loaded on the rest of us, and she never got put at the bottom of the list for promotions, etc.
Am I bitter? Darn right I am. I finally quit a well-known employer and it took 2 1/2 persons to replace most of what I did, and some of the reports I did haven’t been done since. But every “mom” who kept getting pregnant never got put to the end of the line.
Have been self-employed for over 30 years. Now I don’t have to listen to the BS.
This provision will bankrupt small businesses.
If I were still carrying 15+ clients today, I would tell them to no longer hire any new employees, and to downsize their current staff and make less Gross income to have fewer hassles.
I am tired of “legislation” telling me how to run MY business. I never had a client who had a government entity as a “partner” with capitalization, just in the “sharing of the income”.
