I am one of 2 people in my department and we service the entire continent. He has been on paternity leave THREE TIMES in the years i've been here and each time he gets 5 weeks off.
I swear every time he takes off, it's a busy part of the year and i'm absolutely slammed doing everything by myself and customers don't understand.
Then he also gets like 4 weeks of vacation, so it feels really unfair for me with my dog and no kids. But then again, i hate kids and want nothing to do with them, so i guess he needs those 5 weeks.
You make it sound like paternity leave is a vacation. The poor bastard didn’t sleep for 4 of those 5 weeks.
The amount of times my maternity leave was referred to as a vacation.....ugh.
Dude seriously. I had a whopping two weeks off for my paternity leave and people were seriously acting like Id just come back from holiday.
The first week I literally lived at the hospital (major complications with the delivery). The second week I was home with the infant alone as my wife wasnt released yet. What vacation? I slept like 24 hours total in two weeks time.
I had two weeks for maternity leave as well. First week in the hospital with a new abdominal wound and a newborn that didn't know the difference between day and night yet. Second week was for crying every day that I had to go back to work.
