#2 My lovely wife delivered three children and I missed a grand total of two days of work.

Well, yes, she was a stay-at-home mom at the time...

On the other hand, what did our SecDOT take?

#3 "whatever is required by law in the region where the employees work, along with a ’top up’ of two weeks of leave,"

The article does not define "top up" but that reads like whatever is required by law PLUS two weeks. A quick goog suggests that in Michigan and Cali that would be 12 weeks required + 2 = 14 weeks which is approximately 3.5 months.

Some experts would rate this article as Whiny and Misleading. Maybe the NY Post is trying to sell something.

#8 ex. tweep.

I remember when the people who posited that social media would train their ego to be shallow and deficient were called the weirdos.

Then they'd snuff, go back to My Space, and look for a follow up of 2 girls and a cup.

2 weeks gets you through a Cesarean. 20 weeks is if you are sissys who just bought twins and nobody really expects anything from you at work.

#9 "whatever is required by law in the region where the employees work"

That's the problem right there, "required by law". Gum'ment needs to stay out of this (and countless other things). This is better left to the private sector and between management and the individual. And in some cases, teleworking can be employed.
