I hope this administration implements Federal parental leave. I don't understand how and why we still tout ourselves as the greatest country in the world, and we don't even have basic paid parental leave.

OP, D1 can correct me, but I believe the sum of points against federal payments are:

1 - Opportunity cost is lost when staff take FMLA as they are not working. Federal payments would encourage the use of FMLA limiting resource availability. - My response is that this is using economic pressure to disadvantage lower income workers by minimizing child bonding time.

2 - Federal payments impinge on the rights of employers and employees to negotiate benefits like parental leave. - I question if OP negotiated his own benefits with Deloitte or accepted what was offered. In reality, people need jobs and lower income workers typically have less marketable skills and less negotiating power.

3 - Federal payments would need tax increases to pay for themselves. - This is true.

D1, am I on track with your points?

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful.

They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
