Seems like they’re trying hard to deter tourists. Don’t want those commies talking about universal healthcare or maternity leave or Americans might start getting ideas.
I gave a talk in Montana last week and I could hear a pin drop when I said my wife got 18 months maternity leave so we travelled the world with our little one.
- betaby 1y ago> my wife got 18 months maternity leave With 100% of salary, 50%? I know some countries 'hold' your place of employment up to 5 years, although one gets only symbolic money during all that time, think like 10% of the salary.
- testing22321 1y ago100% for the first 12 months, then 50% for the next 6. We could have shared that too, but chose not to. By law they must hold her position.
- briandear 1y agoWho paid for that 18 months? Your wife’s lower salary did.
- CyberMacGyver 1y agoIf lower salary means they won’t go bankrupt, and won’t have to sell their house or live paycheck to paycheck from a small medical issue it’s a Great trade off. US adults have the shortest life span among the richest countries so it sucks even more, even your high salary and zero medical issue still means you are living inferior life.
