    In today's epic tale of corporate absurdity, we have a CEO who decided to praise a new mom for ditching her maternity leave to hustle at work just two days after giving birth. Yep, you heard that right. Instead of "doom scrolling and complaining," she was back on the grind on Mother's Day, and this CEO thought it was a great idea to shout it from the LinkedIn rooftops. Lets dive into why this is the ultimate example of corporate tone-deafness. Spoiler alert: If you think praising a mom for skipping rest and bonding time with her newborn to take orders is inspirational, you might want to rethink your life choices. #Grammarly

      hey josh
      I recently quit a company that had that scenario play out (1:20), the wife of the boss being my manager was back at work 2 days after giving birth.
      well, i guess you're wrong, because he was not complaining at all.
      Edit:
      oh btw, that company sells training to other companies, including some about preventing burn outs in their employees... i quit after my burn out, ofc

      @@commentinglife6175 You're missing the point of my statement. In the US, there are no laws giving rights for mothers to have maternity leave. Those that do get it aren't guaranteed paid leave, meaning only those wealthy enough have the luxury of staying home with their newborns.
      We have no idea why this mother decided to come in. Maybe she really did want to help her workplace team. Maybe she was afraid of the repercussions had she not. This was from managements perspective. Corporate actively promoting that behavior on LinkedIn is gross. Give the women a raise and a vacation with her newborn if they truly appreciate her work.

      In the 40s and 50s....Men could provide for a family on one paycheck. Women stayed home and took care of the family and household
      Now that's called misogyny. Yet people complain about maternity care. No...women had that...they decided feminism and giving uncle Sam a 2nd check to tax was more important then being a wife and mother.
      So nah, want the leave...don't work and stay at home. Demand better pay for husbands so we can go back to sole bread winner...over the 2 check dynamic.

      I don't get your line of reasoning. Women entering the workforce didn't lower wages. Workers are more productive than ever given the tool and skillsets we possess Corporations took more of the profits and decided not to pay their employees livable wages. Plain and simple.
      Women should have the choice of wether or not they stay home full time with their children. Being reliant on one person is how women who are widowed or are abandoned by their husbands become destitute without a penny to their name and no valuable skillsets to support themselves. And if they were in toxic relationships, they were left with a horrible choice of leaving to the the same fate or enduring years of abuse. It wasn't sunshine and rainbows back in the "the good old days" because people stayed together more frequently. Women simply had no options. So yeah, I'll take equal rights thank you very much.
      Why would you demand better wages for one sex and not the other. Demand better wages period. Blaming women because you can't step up and be a primary breadwinner anymore just exposes how insecure your ego really is.

    As the father of a six month old, I find this appalling and disgusting. During the first six months, the essential character of the person is formed. Depending on how the parents tend to the needs of the infant, the person will either form a deep sense of security or insecurity. After TWO DAYS, a baby needs undivided attention and mother needs rest and recovery. The role of the father is to make sure mom and baby have everything they need so that the bonding and care stage goes uninterrupted. The fact that she was there at all means that either management called and guilted her about taking time from herself and her children or she's so broke from her BS job, she had to work to afford life at all.

      As someone on the other side of this kind of situation, it took a shit ton of therapy to realize exactly how my parents (specifically my mother's) behavior affected me. I've always been misanthropic and distrustful. I've found it difficult to do things that are just assumed in society, things like seeking mentorship, networking, even making friends. The way you phrased it, a feeling of security or insecurity is perfect. I can't really remember the last time I've felt "safe" around another person. Even romantic partners, I have a constant fear that if I do something wrong, if I forget to do the dishes or if the laundry is still damp, that she'll leave.
      My therapist put it to me like this: "If a child cries out in the middle of the night and there's no one there, what do you think they'll learn? The world is a cold place, and no one will ever really care."
      The behavior of parents to their children does really matter. It forms your fundamental beliefs about the nature of the world. If the parents, the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally, aren't there to do that, someone else will teach you how the world works. I'm not sure how much of it is true or just my own biases, but I know that I feel like the world is filled with evil fucking snakes who will stab you in the back just to laugh while you bleed. I still feel like the average person is a sadistic, evil creature who will do harm just for the fun of it, as long as they can get away with it. There are spots of light, but the darkness and pure cruelty are overwhelming. If I ever have kids, I'd do *anything* to keep them from seeing the world the way I do.

      First of all, we don't know this person's situation. Not everyone who works gets to take advantage of work benefits. Often times, certain qualifications have to be met. We don't know if this person is working part time or full time, we don't know how long they've worked there, and we don't know how much money they'd get even IF they qualified. These policies typically only give a certain percentage of the workers average weekly wage when they're off. Not to mention, the checks that come in for this don't follow the actual pay period of the workplace. Meaning, you would have to wait longer to get your money than you would if you just worked regularly.
      Let's assume this woman DID qualify. What if that wasn't enough to cover her expenses? What if she actually needed the money as soon as possible? Do you even care?
