I’m sure most of those stories are true. Elizabeth Warren’s, however, was a lie.[1]

>> “Eight weeks of paid leave includes up to two weeks prior to the birth and assumes a normal vaginal delivery,” an HR representative said write to Jennifer I bet if most companies simply got rid of the HR departments altogether, not only would inhumane and repulsive policies like the above not exist, I bet most employees would be happier and more productive.

From the company's standpoint, any employee that quits is simply a cash giveaway and a huge loss.
Especially when they had been giving cash in return for nothing. The cash giveaway is in the paid leave part, not in the quitting part.
> Some companies have policies that can discriminate against people who are on protected leaves by denying them commissions they have already earned Wtf? How can that possibly be a thing?
Do these people just sit around and spend time coming up with ways to screw others over? How the fuck is this thing even legal, let alone ethical? Makes me so mad

I think this is naive. The HR department is simply the mouthpiece for the policies that the company’s management wants.
It was their way of making themselves feel important, and most of the staff feared the upper HR people.

While no doubt someone will never fully emotionally get over something so tragic, sometimes the best thing for you is to get back on the horse and your work and your life and move on.
Having bereavement leave does not preclude returning to work. It precludes being forced to return to work when one cannot.
I think this is a bad way to deal with such people. She needs to make name of the company known, and was the person who made this decision. The internet will do the rest.

It certainly is easy enough to generate a reason acceptable to external monitors to get rid of a person. I have done this myself, and would do it again. In fact I don't think I've ever worked anywhere over the last 40 years where this is not the default approach. CYA is a thing, and always will be.

I understand that people might not like her policies, but this stuff is clearly targeted swift boating. It doesn’t add to to the discussion.
