Apple and Facebook paying employees to delay having kids :wtf:

[Lil Big Daddy]

I was gonna do this anyways, might as well get paid in the process

how do I apply?

And when do you think is going to be the "right time" for you to have kids

 

[Lil Big Daddy]

Whose eggs really belong to whom? Are the eggs legally the property of Facebook or the woman's?

And when do you think is going to be the "right time" for you to have kids

hmm I think the right time will be when I'm financially stable,own a home (so my kid(s) can stay in one place while growing up), and when I have the most free time.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Not really surprising. Mark Zuckerberg once said tech companies shouldn't hire people over 30

You serious?

We wish you the best in your pursuit of "perfection" ......

This is what I've been doing. Pretty close now

We wish you the best in your pursuit of "perfection" ......

it's called being responsible and wanting the best for your children.

I think this may be one of those things that may have harmless intentions, but inevitably will be used in a detrimental way

My friends and I have seriously had this conversation a few times. Damn if a company could pay for it Plus they have amazing maternity benefits. I'm in the wrong damn field.

This sounds good but its nothing but a ploy to prevent an obvious distraction that would cause you to not spend every moment at work. If a woman finds a way to stay with them long enough to want to use those frozen eggs they will find some reason to push them out the door.

 

[Mowgli]

Their greed has no bounds.

 

[mrken12]

Isn't this what feminism is fighting for? For companies to give women the agency to become dedicated to their work if they choose, while also footing the bill for daycare/birth control/etc?

They have no idea what they're fighting for.

 

[WeDemBoyz]

Dont have a problem with this. People really shouldn't be starting families until they're fully secure financially anyway.


Facebook's child leave benefits sound pretty good.

What's the alternative?
