Starting Now At Netflix: Unlimited Maternity and Paternity Leave

vivaoporto writes: Netflix announced Tuesday that, during the first year after their child's birth or adoption, employees will be able to take off however long they feel they need to. They can return on a full- or part-time basis, and even take subsequent time off later in the year if needed. Netflix will "keep paying them normally." Time comments that Netflix's policy "deserves high marks for extending leave to fathers, as well as understanding that the entire first year after childbirth can be challenging for new parents".

I think it's a crime that people have to show up at all anymore. Why can't we just show up when we feel like it, and get paid full wages? We can let those other people who don't have kids take up the slack.
Damn 1%ers!
