I did for various reasons that weren’t totally clear when I was pregnant although I did ask repeatedly about extending my leave and was ignored. I gave one months notice to the end of my leave and didn’t have any legal issues or whatever. The only thing that could have happened is that I would have had to pay back my health insurance because more than half of my leave was unpaid and usually that is deducted from your paycheck - but I was on my husbands health insurance so it didn’t apply.

It was the best decision I ever made. I had a lot of trouble going back after my first born and was depressed for the whole first year of her life. With my second born I ended up taking a full year off and I felt so much better with that space.

Feel like I don’t want to come back. Hate being away from my son even for a second ..

Grey! I think there is now 12 weeks paid paternity leave as well.

uplifting

Not going back. Using my leave to look for remote positions. You?

Best move! Congratulations

Is it weird that I get annoyed whenever my boss subtly implies that I should apply what I've learned in my graduate program to work? Being that the company didn't provide any type of tuition reimbursement nor did I receive any type of pay raise after completing my degree? There are many other factors as to why I feel this way (no promotions in past couple of years, entire team leaving job, having conversations about growth opportunities but nothing becoming of it each time).
