Hmm, even purely financially you are not looking at it correctly

If it’s paid leave and the bonus is what you are concerned about; you earn the base pay without working that month

So if you go back to work, you has to put in a full months work to earn base+4k vs take paternity and just get base. Assuming base is 180+ given your bonus is 48k+, it’s work 0 days and make 15k and work a whole month and make 19k and your spouse may need extra support (baby sitter/nanny) which deducts from that 19k

As a dad with a 19 month old, I’d take the paternity. You won’t get that time back with your baby and your spouse will appreciate the support.

Question for your partner

When my son was born I got one week paid leave. The rest was on me.

Can you take it in pieces? Having that much straight could affect performance, contributions, etc.

I have my third child coming soon, and will take it all, but in 3 segments

If you can afford it, yes take it. (i.e. No large CC debts, emergency fund in place)

I’ve been practicing in traditional labor for about two years now (although about a decade of labor relations experience) but I’m trying to break into employee benefits law.

My long term goal is to have benefits be my main area of practice.

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
