Have an offer at a different firm. Applied months ago but they just finally got serious. My wife is pregnant and I want to take the offer, but feel bad about joining and then going out on leave a few months later. To my knowledge, the parental leave benefit starts on day 1. Is it unethical to take it without telling them?
