So let's say the company is 100,000 people, and 1% of births are still births, and 1% of employees will take the piss. And let's say 5% of employees have a baby in any given year (is this realistic? I honestly don't know, it seems high). Then on average you'll have one employee every two years take advantage of the situation (keeping in mind, the person "taking advantage" has also endured the death of a baby). I think a company the size of Microsoft or Google can absorb the piss-taking of one grieving employee every two years, to be honest.
