I work in a firm of 6 people (5 of us are women) in an office suite that was re-designed without building management’s approval. We’re always cold, boss is always hot, and the thermostats don’t work anyway because no one has any clue how the HVAC got the way it is.
So the boss bought us all space heaters. Smart man.
So I work in politics (kinda) and did some research into maternity leave in other countries a few months ago. You’re right, America’s is not up to par with PTO for maternity leave. But the countries who are touted in Huff Po articles and other media outlets as having great mandatory maternity leave policies paint a darker picture when looked at as a whole. I don’t want to get into a rambling comment but basically, those countries with maternity leave policies on average, pay female employees between 9-20% lower than America does for the same positions. And women do not and are not considered for higher management positions due to the possibility of them becoming pregnant. These side-effects are just generally accepted by women in those countries as a trade-off for having maternity leave safety nets in place. The problem is, it also affects women who are single, not planning to ever have children, or biologically cannot have children too. They see the decrease in pay and are looked over for promotions, but do not ever reap the rewards of a maternity leave. Here’s an article that talks about it, it’s pretty interesting. http://acculturated.com/maternity-leave-facts/
Update on Matthew McConaughey: he now has S&P too. Just watched Free State of Jones tonight and he was rocking a pinch of salt at the ends of the beard.
