Taking maternity leave is unfortunately a nerve-wracking time for some. You wonder if things at your workplace will be the same once you return, nervous about your job security after having been away for so long, and wonder if you'll be able to keep yourself financially afloat what with all the appointments, household necessities, and extras for the incoming baby. Luckily, extensive maternal leave benefits are only becoming more common all around the world, with governments guaranteeing that no pregnancy will be cause for termination, financial hardship, and harassment. There are those few people who are very upset that newer generations don't have nearly as much hardship to endure, and today we have a woman-to-woman feud concerning maternity leave.
The woman in this story took the maximum amount of maternity leave offered by her state and workplace and was receiving money from state disability during the time of birth re-cooperation and maternal bonding (total 18 weeks). Once the woman returns to work, a fellow female co-worker asks her what benefits she received and if the woman has gotten paid for it. After the woman explains her circumstances, her co-worker goes on a tirade about how she shouldn't have to pay for other woman's maternity leave, especially if they are going to sit on their behinds “all day doing nothing”. Then, she decides to blame the government. After consistent pestering, the woman made HR aware of the situation. Who do you think gets reprimanded?
