This is a really good move on Microsoft's part & affects about 60,000 people - so not an insignificant number. What is sad and pathetic is that in the US people are actually shocked by how good this is!! Everyone is programmed to go into "Oh but this will be a huge burden on the company" mode. What about the fact that currently the US has some of the shittiest laws on the books when it comes to Time-off for new parents? What about the burden on society when New Moms are forced into their workplace way too soon because of the crappy support from the govt.? So companies do not have to bear this burden but the new moms & babies can bear the hardship easily? Free enterprise does not mean a license to shirk some of the most basic responsibilities. We should be pushing our elected peeps to take stornger action on this
