In the meantime, companies must do a better job of practicing corporate social responsibility. Once they realize that healthy, properly trained, and financially free employees saves them money, it may not even require legislation at all.

It has something to do about the legislators of our country. They are more focused on something else and they haven't really given appropriate attention the worker's welfare.

We have more important things to attend to such as funding other countries and answering the question “what is a woman”

I think that the US lacks employee benefits because we don't value our workers enough. There needs to be more respect for what they do, and the people who we elect to government need to share this sentiment. Unfortunately it will probably be awhile until there is a real increase in employee benefits because of the culture present.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

Question about PTO - my contract says 25 days but is this inclusive of any office shutdown over Christmas/New years (if there is one?). In Sydney office if that provides some context. Thanks!
