I'm having problems getting staffed and I'm on the beach, I'm a recent new hire. I start paternity leave in November so it seems that everyone is staying away. I split my paternity leave as that's...

...the guidance I was given. But now everyone wants to staff me after I come back. Oh yeah the beach is packed. I learned a lot, built my network, and own/participate in some key initiatives. Any guidance appreciated. I want to take paternity leave. Didn't do it for my first kid and I regret it.

I recognize that this is really easy for me to say, but prioritize this special time with your baby and take the leave as you are entitled to. So cliche but so true, you’ll never get this time back. I love what this job allows me to do in providing for my family but it certainly has given me some regrets about absent times with my kids as well.

Thanks appreciate it

You’re doing the right thing. We have to flex as organizations to make this happen for new dads. Make sure you’re staying involved with activities before your paternity leave so there isn’t any reason to let you go before then.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?
