@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!

@Ms.SK: fellow accountant here, can you please let me know which firm you work for... With dd1, I got a whopping 5 weeks off...
