- colmvp 14y agoI prefer the approach of saving money to account for one parent being able to take extended time off from work/leaving their job for a period of time. Myself, I've saved money and could work from home. As for my own mom, even though I live in a country where she could take a long maternity leave, she opted to go back to work after a very short time.
- lukeschlather 14y agoThe thing is, you're viewing this from a moral rather than a business perspective. From a moral perspective, sure, people should plan ahead and not have children until they have the requisite resources with sustainable income. From a business perspective, six months paid leave is worth it if you can avoid hiring and training a new employee.
