Have you started a new job without taking a break? How was it? I thought I’d have more time to give my notice but the background check took longer than I thought so now I have no wiggle room between my start date and the two week notice.

I’ve never taken a break between roles because I carry benefits for my family 🫠 I definitely am feeling the burnout now though so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it 😅

Same here. I only had a weekend in between previous job and current company, and 9 months in I’m in burn out mode. I was in the same predicament as OP, but would highly recommend to ask to push your start date out. I’m remembering that for next time!

I was onboarding at my current company during my last week at my previous company. I didn’t find it any more stressful or difficult.

You do have wiggle room. Tell them that the background check took longer and you were expecting some free time. If they don’t understand are they the right company?

I took a week off between my previous job and my last job (last because I left after a month. 🙃 LONG STORY, but I'm at a better place now) I definitely think I could've benefited from a longer break because I didn't realize just how burnt out I was from work and all the cumulative events stacked on top of another from the last 2 years of living through a pandemic. If you can negotiate for a break off in between jobs and can afford it financially, I would take it.

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
