Twitter To Give All New Parents 20 Weeks of Paid Leave (fortune.com)

Posted by msmash on Wednesday April 6, 2016 @06:09AM from the work-and-family-balance dept.

Michal Lev-Ram, reporting for Fortune: May 1 will be a happy day for Twitter employees -- at least those expecting a baby. The social media site is the latest tech player to offer so-called "gender-neutral" parental leave, guaranteeing any parent up to 20 weeks of fully paid time off. Other companies that have embraced such policies include Etsy, Facebook, and Change.org. The rationale? Family structures have changed, and allowing for more evenly distributed parenting equals happier employees, both male and female (within, of course, both heterosexual and same-sex couples).

I am a Mormon man and I have no kids.
Funny how some bigotry gets an easy pass on Slashdot.
That's not necessarily true. If he had replaced "Mormon" with "Muslim", he would have been flamed out of existence for discriminating against a celebrated culture.
