Ok so I want real opinions here. Should people with children be getting more benefits than those without? For example more PTO and maybe a family stipend?

I need time off but don't take it as a teacher. I feel like I have cheated my children out of my time, because I have missed out on a lot of firsts. First day of school,first day of middle school, first day of high School, awards assembly and field trips during the day. I am constantly working and feel like I have checked out on my children , but I am expected to be everything at all times to my 175 students

It depends on the area. I used to work in NYC and we were paid for 12 months. Remember cost of living is still high and doesn't cover everything. In Maryland we can have money taken out of our check and put into a pay all year account,so you can be paid over the summer. It doesn't account for the courses you have to pay for to continue your certification or loans you have to repay, or other living expenses. Vacation in the summer is a week or two the rest is planning for the New Year, studying new curriculum or writing grants for supplies and planning field trips. We are constantly working and have to have side job to pay for student expenses. The child that comes to school without...
We get emails that request to sponsor students for senior dues, junior dues,pay for field trips, school rings, etc. We raise other people's children and in some states teachers work three jobs during the year to pay bills for basic necessities. Make it make sense. Other states we are not allowed to strike because the no strike language was put in our contract as well as not permitted to speak to the press. Teachers have a gag order attached to contracts in counties and states. Education is abusive relationship that many eductors want to get out of if not for the children. However that tide is starting to turn.

Absolutely not

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

What will be the work from home benefit’s in IQVIA?

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid. Or do they just pick a number, like “yeah they can get to know their kid in a few weeks and I couldn’t possibly have that attorney out for 12 weeks?” I’m at a small firm, no FMLA or state requirement. We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.
