The company I work does not have the most clear HR policies and environment. For some reason we always feel like in a persecution.
I’ve been working there for 7 years with a great career development.
I’m about to become mother and the whole Maternity leave is uncertain. First, no benefits more than FMLA and second it looks like whatever option they can offer me post 12 weeks is seems like a “favor”.
Long story short I feel it’s time to move on.
Should I start looking now?

Check to see if you take extra leave or use your sick days etc. if you then are required to return for a certain number of days after your leave in order to be paid for those. You can research other opportunities while you are feeding or the baby is napping. Best of luck.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. It’s crazy that companies still don’t provide parental leave.

If you’re already pregnant, one piece to consider is that you won’t be eligible for FMLA at a new job (being there for 12 months is one of the criteria). If you do decide to look elsewhere, make sure you get clarity around when you’re eligible for parental leave before making the move - if there’s a 1 year waiting period for company leave, you could find yourself without any benefits, worse off than you are now.

Also, look into state leaves. Depending on where you live you may qualify for paid leave through the state. It may not be 100% pay but could at least be something.

Unless a new company will offer you better parental benefits immediately, it probably makes sense to take what you can get at your current company and jump ship for something better as soon as possible when your leave is done.
