New Maternity Leave Policy

    @swurlygurl: I know! I work for the Federal Gov't, and I get absolutely zero paid leave for maternity. I get FMLA, and I can substitute my accrued sick and annual leave in order to get paid, but that's it.

    18 weeks paid mat leave sounds so amazing- and they're very, very smart. I know LOTS of people (including myself!) who would feel a lot of loyalty to a company that had such family-friendly policies.

    Wow, that is awesome. I might have stayed at my job if there had been better maternity leave.

    I have to say I am still in shock over this announcement! I would rather not post my company online but I will say if one of the big four do something the other three usually follow suit!
