Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.

Yeah but fmla is not paid. It just protects your job for when you get back.
