It's 6 months for pregnant mothers, and it's more than just parental leave. Super excited about this policy!

It's been a rough couple of months for consulting in general with the layoffs but of all the firms, I felt Deloitte handled it best (not good but better overall). They gave 8 weeks of severance minimum regardless of tenure, paid out MBA sponsorships and you could claim you still worked at the company during the severance period. In comparison, my friend at PwC was a 1st year analyst and got laid off with 2 weeks severance.

Can't comment on the laid off part because everyone has a story, regardless what firm you are coming from. But this policy is a game changer. When a company value it's employees' personal life, it's when employees get happier, increase productivity, stay loyal and many other invisible way to contribute to the firm...

I was really excited to see Deloitte's new policy because it not only covers taking care of your newborn, but also covers taking care of an aging parent and other life challenges. I haven't read into the conditions thou. Sometimes it may sound good but there are contingencies. For example, EY started offering 16-week paternity leave earlier this year but you have to be the primary care taker. I'm not complaining. This is def a big step forward!!

I have been considering going back to school but I left active duty 15 years ago and my Post 9/11 expired this summer.

Either way, I'm curious if anyone would know why I only received 25 months of education benefits. I was 100% active for 4 years, 3 deployments to Iraq, honorable discharge etc. And wondering if there is any way to extend my benefits and get the 36-48 months that seems to be standard.

What are your favorite soft maternity leggings? I have about 8 pairs that people gave me or I found online.

But they don’t have a tag so I can’t duplicate them. Tell me your faves?

Do we care anymore if our companies speak out against anti-gay/trans legislation? I’m only seeing a few companies release statements and most seem performative at best.

I have a rather long question. If I run out of space, I will continue in the first comment. I sponsor a GSA. There is a trans student who is always making sardonic comments in inappropriate times. We were talking recently, and every time a student bared their soul, this kid would make a joke out of it. The students who were speaking felt that they were not heard, and all of the attention was focused on this trans student.

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?
