I genuinely think this is a grey area, and it's far from "insider" trading. Is it moral, I don't think so. Should Capital One sanction these employees, probably. But I think this is far from ilegal. Huang and Huang had a

Read it twice. It didn't change my answer. I'm sorry you base your hiring decisions on "failing companies", and imply that I have "have money to blow on it"... Well, we do have money to spend on the right hires

You are creating an issue where there isn't one. In my opinion. If you hire on the probability of someone getting pregnant (or their partner), good for you, that's your choice. I hire employees who I (and my team) believe have the

I'll just repeat what I said at the start: If you are hiring the right people that fit your company's needs, team, skills, etc, this is not an issue. Then, how can you assure me that a male hire won't take paternity leave too

by antr 12y ago
Not really. The first 20 weeks or so are paid by the company 100%. Those 20 weeks are also your rights as parent by law to take off. Then you can take more time off (there is a maximum discretionary number of weeks), and in that case the co
