“Why should other workers foot the bill for someone else’s kids? You want kids? Save some money FIRST.”
It’s also the workload for those that are NOT on family leave,
In my office they seemed to have their babies in the summer,therefore limiting the weeks the rest of us could take for vacation.
VERY annoying.
And yet still amenable to charitable cooperation. Oh you have children? I don’t. So please do see what works best for all. I will bless your children; now please also bless me.
In defense of EMPLOYER provided leave, my entry-level position was the floater that went from department to department assisting until the girls on leave came back, or until they hired a replacement for the ones that decided not to. The fact that the employer didn’t know if they were coming back or not provided me with a job.
