Kudos to Yahoo!! It is shocking how little maternity leave is provided by the average company. I have a friend who got 8 weeks, took 8 more without pay ... she was so pissed off that she used part of the leave time to find another job. The company lost a top notch worker for being so stingy with maternity leave!
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoLet’s not forget that 16 weeks is still way below what employers in other countries are obligated to offer, on average. Have a look at this graph, linked to by the article: http://childrenschances.org/global-maps/parents-and-children/is-paid-leave-available-for-mothers-of-infants/ http://childrenschances.org/global-maps/parents-and-children... Paid leave from work for mothers of infants: Canada 50 weeks, Mexico 12 weeks, USA zero. Paid leave from work for fathers of infants: Canada 35 weeks, Cuba 40 weeks, USA zero. In Eastern European countries like Belarus, Ukraine, and Slovakia, mothers get 3 years paid leave – that’s 10 times more than what Yahoo is offering.
