How much parental leave does your company offer to employees? Please include location, size of company and type of business. We are a SaaS company in NYC with 60 employees. We give 16 weeks paid for “primary caregivers “ and 6 weeks for “secondary “ caregivers. I want to advocate for everyone to get at least 12 weeks.

SaaS company in Utah with 130+ employees. We get 4 weeks paternal and 8 weeks maternal.

As a Father, really any Paternal benefit is better than nothing. I felt like with the 4 weeks off, although it feels and may seem small, I was able to help establish a routine with my wife while also not letting work pile up. I think anything more than 4 weeks I would end up just working simply because if I am not working, nobody else is doing what I do and it ends up just piling up and stressing me out. Just my two cents but either way, I love to see the though process unfold of people noticing that dads need time with their young along with the amazing mothers of the world.

I want to have a policy that is equitable between parents. When leave is given more generously to women we are saying that parenting is not an equal responsibility between partners.

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise.

How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

He was evasive at first and was rude when I had someone with my company call to ask. Eventually he gave me the locations before buying the machines which, of course, I couldn’t verify for placement. They had no idea about these machines because they never ordered them.
