So What If Yahoo's New Dads Get Less Leave Than Moms?

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-occasional-babysitters? dept.

Dawn Kawamoto writes "Yahoo rolled out an expanded maternity/paternity policy that doubled the family leave for moms to 16 weeks. But new dads at Yahoo get only 8 weeks. It turns out that Yahoo is not the only Fortune 500 company to short-shrift news dads. But, really, do new dads think it's worth crying over? Hmmm...changing diapers or cleaning up code — both are messy, but one smells less."

    Hi Jittles, In my submission, I left out the word *paid* maternity, *paid* paternity leave.

    Then you're a fucking idiot. Learn to write, FFS.
