She’s entitled! Like everyone else on Earth
Man, what a bunch of garbled drivel...sorry I stopped by.
Haircut looks awful. Her makeup looks like it was painted on by the guys who paint the lines on the road, and she can thank Bill Clinton for her time off. That is all.
Turkey, meet skewer...
If an employer wants to give the paid time, let them. If the employee wants to take the time, let them.
The govt shouldn’t force employers to provide the paid time.
Williams: “Cute segment, beautiful woman, but now we have to require paid maternity leave nationwide?”
That seems to be what she was implying when she said we were the only developed nation in the world that doesn’t mandate paid maternity leave, like that’s a bad thing. Having a baby on your employer’s dime shouldn’t be a right. That’s the problem in general. People hear something that sounds like a nice thing to do, and next thing you know, there’s a rule, regulation, or law FORCING everyone to comply with it.
Paternity leave under FMLA is unpaid. This is not in any way comparable to what women get.
I’ve never cared for Megyn Kelly. She’s obnoxious.
“At whose expense?”
At this level in television, Megyn would have an “extensive” (and lucrative) contract with Fox negotiated with her agent and lawyers and the Fox lawyers.
I think we’re starting to get politicians and private citizens confused. Frankly, it’s none of our business. She’s back, the hair-do looks super, and she does a Great job. Yippee..
Not yours, you anti-family apparently anti-baby, anti- motherhood moron....
Do you pay for her maternity leave ???
I was very afraid there would be posts like yours when I started reading this thread and I only got through 2...
You are either
1) a (stupid) man
2) a frustrated woman who can’t ( sorry!) conceive
3) a lesbian who has no intention or desire to conceive.
I am not for welfare mamas having baby after baby at OUR expense but if Megan wants to have children and work ( and is very good at what she does) and FOX wants to give her time off...good for all...
I reject the premise that a company must allow an employee extended time off for non work-related activities ... especially something that is voluntary on the part of the employee. If a company does so, it should do so on its own accord and not due to governmental decree.
Obviously I'm late to the argument as the family medical leave act is already in place. Just how DID we survive before these labor laws were in place???
I agree - it's between her and her employer, and I'm sure everything was negotiated and signed off long ago.
We don't have cable, so I haven't seen her show, but if it's Fox News's highest rated, they obviously have an interested in keeping her happy and on the air.
I’ve never met a man who gave birth!!
what the hell does a man do to NEED 3 months off after a baby is born...I’ve worked labor and delivery for 22 years and believe me for some women 13 weeks isn’t enough. I wish I could elaborate....oh how I wish I could.... Geeesh I can’t believe the comments on this thread. I may never come back to FR knowing there are this many male idiot , yes I’ll say it, NEANDERTHALS on here. No wonder you are a “ forgotten man”
If a woman NEEDS 3+ months to recover from delivery, then she needs to find work elsewhere when she is able.
I’d be very interested in seeing your evidence that Megyn Kelly made that statement.
NOT PAID unless it's a contractual obligation on the part of the employer.......
But it is 13 weeks. Our company used to give them short term disability, which after seeing two births—they need every minute of that time.
However,they should not complain when their next raise is prorated.
And finally, this is exactly why you have an agent and a lawyer in this business. This stuff is all in the contracts. Good for her.
Woah.....I thought I was on DU for a moment, but alas, I'm here on FR.
Why didn't you throw in homophobic, bigoted racist for good measure?
