Finally did it! Tomorrow is my last day at UPS! (On topic)

I don't think he realizes I'm out for birth/bonding I think he thinks I'm injured

Don't tell him. You know how he feels about guys "playing daddy" to get out of Peak. Lol.

Except with more diapers.

Old people wear diaper too

I tell an old timer im friendly with "I was in diapers when you started working here and you'll be in them when I retire

Birth/bonding? Maybe we should take up a collection and get you one of those new Barbie dolls.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

He realizes. Get ready for his crap-storm.

No, I didn't realize.

While I personally disagree with the need to take 12 unpaid weeks off from work to bond with your newborn child, it is not my decision to make.

Congratulations.

The ones that I get upset with have 10-11 month old "new"borns and are simply using them as an excuse to get out of Peak.

Why would you care? You're not the one not getting paid to spend time with their kid.

If someone wants to use paternity leave to get out of working peak, God bless.

He's not commenting on the reason

He's commenting on the timing

Even still, why would he care? If someone I worked with had a kid who was almost a year old and decided to use paternity leave to get out of peak, I would shake his hand.

I wish I would have thought of that when I had my kids.

Why put yourself through a peak if you don't have to?

You dont get paid for FMLA at Brown.

 

[brownmonster]

I took 3 months off when my kids left for college. I bonded with the sofa.

That's what I said. Why does he care if someone takes unpaid leave?

Isn't a FEMA leave a paid leave in California?

Just another one of the entitlement programs that wasn't available a few years ago.
