#12I wonder how a simple law stating that "sick leave" can be used for having a baby would work for this.

#14There should a name and shame on this one. What is the university, and what does it think it is doing?
This is a systemic problem here in the US. It would be counterproductive to try and single out one actor when the issue needs to be address comprehensively.

Actually, it's better without a name because it's a widespread problem. If she gave a name, people might think that it's an isolated incident.

#16Nasty treatment. And in many places you can't even attempt to bank the sick-leave in the first place.
Or bank any leave at all. My current employer wipes vacation days on Jan 1.
My experience with employers in general is use any benefit you accrue as soon as you reasonably can. Don't save stuff up; it makes you vulnerable to your employers incompetence or greed.

#17how about you quit crying and stand up for yourself and tell them how it is, and if they don't like it, they can go fuck themselves and raise their demon spawn on their own terms.
you acted like a pussy and got treated like a pussy.

Aren't they generally required to pay you for accrued leave or is even that not required?
Usually depends on which state you are in. California I believe they are required to pay up to a certain number of hours.

#20It's completely insane that US doesn't have unlimited sick leave like EU does. It's just backwards and ridiculous - if someone is ill, then they are ill, what if they don't have any sick leave left? You fire them? I literally can't stomach this. When I was little I always thought I would emigrate to the States to work - now I would pay not to go.
