“My thought exactly. Honestly, I think Informatica should consider firing their entire HR department.”
Why? They changed the policy over a year ago to 16 weeks of paid leave, and included pregnancy recovery in that. Is that not good enough?

But the point still stands that my response had really nothing to do with whether 8 weeks or 6 weeks or 16 weeks is "good enough". When someone has a baby, and that baby dies, it doesn't take much to realize you don't nickel and dime that employee over a couple of weeks of leave. You send flowers and a heartfelt letter. The job of HR is specifically to lower employee related risk for a company, and is should be obvious that sending an email to the effect of "well, since your baby died, you'll be ready to come back to work sooner!" would in fact raise multiple risks for the company.
