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!

Just Great...prices to increase now???

Just great, I'm guessing to cover this, Netflix will once again raise their rates for streaming and rental of BluRays?

*SIGH*

Just remember, every new above and beyond benefit they give out like this ($15 for a burger flipper?), YOU the customer will have to pay more....it will be passed onto you.
