“Every 10 seconds, somewhere in the world, a baby is born. Your mission is to find this woman and stop her.”
I distinctly remember reading similar news a few years ago.
Yeah? I remember this documentary on some tube.
Could be another case. People do be fuckin’
That’s conceivable.
I’d be hard pressed to come up with that.
And probably got 4 fathers between them
I was thinking one.
Luigi had a brief stay, for 14 hours.
“Yeah, we had a fun holiday work party, pretty normal. We didnt go that crazy.” - To their husbands/bfs when arriving home at 3am with tossled hair.
It was one hell of an office Christmas party.
Y’all need to stop sending this article to my wife. I just clean the floors there.
for fuck sake
That was a fun stay at hospital that week.
Is this related to the phenomenon that women who spend a lot of time together start to align menstrual cycles? Or is that just a misogynist urban legend? I don’t even know what’s true anymore.
That’s actually a myth. The thing is that menstrual cycles have different durations and time in-between. So given some time, those will coincide between them. Just like planet alignments and such.
@Strobelt@lemmy.world read that so then wondered about the besties in high school who claimed its veracity
Sources report that the tall dark and handsome radiologist is shitting himself.
It’s always the radiologist.
And all 14 going for a 1 year paid maternity leave at same time. Fun time for those at work 😜
90 days, if they’re lucky. Probably more like 2 weeks.
90 days at half pay too…
Vermont has 1 year paid maternity leave?
It doesn’t? No idea, but I’d expect developed country like USA to have paid maternity leave
Lmao
US is the richest 3rd world country.
“3rd world country” just means that the country wasn’t aligned with either USA or USSR during cold war. Don’t use it when you mean poor or developing countries.
Doing that can range from just incorrect to even insulting to some people
No welfare = 3rd world country
I think he just wants to be insulting.
Kinda, but I don’t hate Us anymore as I did in my commie years. Hate Russia and China much more.
Still I think your country is deeply undeveloped when thinking at paid vacations, free healthcare, free schools and so on.
Unfortunately you are horribly mistaken.
It’s not mandated by law but a hospital almost definitely has it.
I also would have expected a hospital to offer some of the best health insurance in the country - I was agast when my wife got a job and we realized it was trash tier compared to her major corporation retail job she had previous to that. So yes, maybe - but I don’t think it’s a given or a safe assumption by any means.
Oh my fucking god, truly a shit hole country like the us pres said
Even fathers get 8 weeks nowadays in my country.
Damn that’s neat! I had the opportunity to share some with my wife + 2 weeks
Most companies offer paid maternity leave. Lower hourly would mostly be the exception to that.
Sadly there isn’t a minimum set by law.
It’s per state when it comes to maternity leave. This map would be like saying “The EU doesn’t have laws on maternity leave so no one gets any” when every country there has its own.
California at least has PFL (paid family leave) runs concurrent with FMLA for, iirc, 12 weeks. Also, it applies to fathers, too.
I forgot about FMLA. We have 12 weeks of maternity leave, you just have to work there for a few months beforehand. You can’t just join up 9 months pregnant and immediately go on maternity leave. Imo, it’s kinda fair.
That may be federal, but some states (and i do mean some) have something called FMLA provided by the state. The one I am in guaranteed you 8 weeks and I believe it was just raised to 12 weeks. Granted it’s not great because it’s a lot of paperwork, you don’t get paid right away, you won’t make what you did if you were working, and not all the weeks are payable! But you are allowed this if you want it and your job can’t fire you. If your job is good enough, which normally they are, you can combine the state time off with your jobs time off to add on an extra month or 2. My wife’s a teacher so she did this and used all the sick time and vacation time she had saved over the years to take an extra few months on top of FMLA so she was able to have our kid in December and take the rest of the school year off from January to June then get summer break and return in sept. So still not a year, but 9 months wasn’t bad either. I on the other hand got 2 weeks and our 2nd kid I took 3 weeks of vacation. Sadly everyone’s experience is different and you won’t know what you will have because it’s up to the state and job which is stressful on its own. Most places from what I have seen with friends are not trying to screw you, but I would say the average I’ve seen people take is 1 month.
Edit: so I just looked and since it’s been a few years since I have last needed it i haven’t followed it. Looks like FMLA has spread to more states and looks like about 12 (mostly blue states of course) now have this at the state level. https://onpay.com/insights/paid-family-leave-by-state/
Just an FYI, the FMLA itself does not pay you. It only protects your job so you cannot lose it or be replaced while out on leave.
Also, FMLA is federal (for now anyway). The article is about paid family medical leave in some states, which they abbreviate PFML.

Sorry, yes you are correct. The paid leave comes from the state that added onto this. It was 4 weeks’ pay from the state. She was allowed 6 in total. After that was up, it was up to the school district to allow her the rest of the time off. The time off allowed came from her accrued sick time and vacation over the years. She still needed the request approved by the board since it was a lot of time. 2 and a half of those months were also summer, which she is off for anyway.
Oh you sweet summer child… got some news for you….
paid maternity leave
Let me guess… you’re from Europe…
Yeah, I work for a hospital system in the states. We do have paid maternity leave, but it’s to the tune of 2 weeks, not a whole year
Most women aren’t even fully healed by two weeks, either.
No that parasite usually stays around for 18 plus years, sometimes longer.
No one heals in full on capitalism
I was thinking what a nightmare it would be to replace them temporarily.
You got at least 6 mo to plan and loccoms are a thing. What managers get paid for right?
Yes. And good managers can do it.
There’s the rub, tho.
If it’s constant that staff rotates out for medical, then you really need to bump (increase) staff. That’s capacity planning 101
Yeah exactly
Who let Doctor Hamster into the female nurse enclosure?
Unless there are 3 of them hiding behind that machine, that looks like 11 to me?
11 isn’t going to garner enough clicks. You need to pump up those numbers.
Only 11 were available for the photo. I’m guessing the others weren’t on the same shift.
Seems like that’s a good time to go ‘Oh, maybe we should change it to say 11 then’.
There’s a similar situation at my wife’s work. She’s one of nine to be pregnant, all on the same unit. At my work, there’s three of us who are either pregnant or whose wife is pregnant. All pregnancies, both at her work and mine, are due at around the same time.
