At FCB you get 6 weeks now and more and more dads are taking all of it. I hope this trend continues.

We get 6 weeks at huge any time within first year of life. Must be taken in full week increments. A lot do two weeks around birth and then a month off a couple months later when the mother has to go back to work.

Yes it's real and thankfully more and more places are doing it for moms and dads. We even give time for people who choose to adopt, but it's only 2 weeks. Which is shit.

I took off 2 but was still new so had to burn PTO. My wife was thrilled...and when I say that I mean the complete opposite of.

Iron Horse why was your wife not thrilled?

We only have 2 weeks, but more & more people are taking all of it. Sometimes all at once. I recommend thinking about taking a week or two right when the baby is born and then another week or 2 when your wife goes back to work, depending on your situation.

Publicis, despite being a French company, gives only 2 weeks to both men and women. It's despicable. But, every dad I know takes the full 2 weeks.

ACD1 that's terrible!
