A job in big tech is not a job. It's half a job, half a privilege.
Perfectly capable s/w developers fail big tech interviews for the tiniest slip-ups in a day long coding marathon.
Big tech response: "We can afford to lose perfectly capable s/w developers as false positives during interviews, cz the supply for filling up our positions is abundant."
A significant number of capable s/w developers even acknowledge that, and accept it as the nature of the beast.
Big tech can definitely grow some balls and apply the same rules to those who get in and then decide to go on baby vacay sprees.
(Oh, and btw, this also goes by the name of "an effin company doing its effin job!")
Parents can switch to minimum wage jobs with full parental coverage, PTO, what have you.
Don't think minimum wage is high enough to support children? I agree, let's raise the minimum wage. I even support government funded childcare.
If a big tech company decides to run like a baby-producing country club charity, it's only a matter of time before it'll be taken over by an actual big tech company that gives a shit about its business.
