    Absolutley crappy U.S. materinity leave and FMLA... what are my options?

    @imsavedbyjesus Awesome advice, thank you! My only hesitation is that they offer such great health benefits in every other arena... they always use that as a talking point for new hires. I'm wondering if they will adopt a "the great benefits here cover the sh*t benefits there" sort of mentality...

    @imsavedbyjesus That's a good idea. How did you find examples of other companies? I imagine you don't just call them up on the phone...

    @electronicfaith That's my main problem... Leaving the baby with strangers at 6 weeks!? It's insane. Hope you get a little extra time somehow!

    @katrina2017 I remember that! I was excited to see it on the ballot. I wonder how much it lost by. I have been researching advocacy groups I can support. We all should. :) Edited to say: I realize it won't help my situation (I am too old for more after this) but I really want to see future...

    @becca0603 I know, isn't that insane?! I keep thinking-- have there been any recent movements/groups who have tried to push a policy on this? I'm normally a good libertarian at heart, but the amount of greed and corruption with this kind of thought is freaking insane. Men making decisions for...

    @afterhours Good point, thanks. I'm in a smaller town, so it's hard to find big companies to work for.

    @gal220gal Wow, thank you for this. I had no idea about the 50 employee thing. We have around 30, so I won't be covered. Maybe looking for a different job is a bad idea after all. Thx!

    Absolutley crappy U.S. materinity leave and FMLA... what are my options?

    @brendanjamesstephen Agree. I do have a part-time freelance business that I can fall back on too, but God, it's going to be tough with 2 littles. I think I can even work a bit after a month-- I did that last time-- and it should help. I will be having a c-section so it's possible I can get my...

    Absolutley crappy U.S. materinity leave and FMLA... what are my options?

    Hi all! About a year ago I started a new job that I really love. It's for a non-profit with great benefits and a great staff. However, I've just found out I'm pregnant with number 2, and while looking through the employee handbook I was shocked to see the crappy maternity leave option. It says...
