Sounds like a good benefit at face value but pretty unfair to those without kids.

I agree. I am at an age where my kids are grown. It's the people without children that will need to pick up the slack.

I was a single Mom without family near. No one helped me with them. Not financially, not with child care, and not through my employer. Not saying it was right, just people need to care for their own without expectation from others.

Tech companies are just killing us with their insane benefits..

This is literally the law. As far as I can tell MSFT is doing no more than required by Congress. Congress required 80 hours of extra paid sick leave (above company policy) for COVID reasons l, including 2/3 pay to care for kids with cancelled school. The same pay added 12 weeks of paid FMLA for COVID reasons.

It’s actually really significant. The US has never had federally mandated paid leave policies.

How do you usually ask for PTO? I have the days accrued but I have PTSD from a past job about asking for time off. I’m wanting to take 5 days in June for a family trip and know I need to put in the request to the partners I work for sooner rather than later. I had to take a day this last week and they were great about it (immediate “Yeses”) but somehow, asking for a week feels like a hurdle. (Also, I’m only 7 months in, haven’t met the partners IRL, and we only really communicate via email)
