People scam everything. Paid maternity/paternity leave should not exist for either ma or pa. UNPAID leave is ok.

My company recently expanded its parental leave policy so that anyone, regardless of gender, gets the same, generous leave of six months fully paid. It’s called “bonding leave” so the intent is pretty clear. One of my male colleagues told me very matter of factly that he is intending to take his full leave after his wife’s paid maternity leave is up. But, instead of caring for the baby, he is going to get a “second” job for 6 months and his wife is going to stay home with the baby and take unpaid leave from her job. In effect, he will have two salaries (but work one job), and she will have no salary. They will actually net out ahead financially because he earns more than her.

Not even kidding here, there are a few generous employers who give 12 weeks paid leave, but I have never heard of an American employer willing to give 6 months paid leave for anything.

You think Texting Driver has coworkers? He would have to work to have coworkers.

Or put another way, name an employer in the USA that offers 6 months of paid paternity leave. The most generous I have heard of is 12 weeks paid paternity leave, and that is extremely rare.
