I work for a small creative agency (sub 50 people so FMLA laws don’t apply) and recently learned they offer 2 weeks paid maternity leave and don’t offer short term disability. 🤯

I’m expecting my first baby and need to negotiate a better leave policy (obviously for myself, but also for the other young women on my team).

So, help a gal out … if you’re at a *boutique* agency or another small business, what’s your maternity leave policy?

If you want to get fired up, our male coworkers also get 6-8 weeks off so it’s f’ing gross that you get 2 weeks (big hold co). Be the change!

Hi everyone. I was given a verbal offer after some negotiation and I’m comfortable with the salary. There was no real discussion about anything other than salary. When the written offer arrives, have you had any success negotiating PTO, health insurance, retirement ect.? Thanks!
