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.
Maybe they should hire another person. Your problem shouldn't be with this dude who's doing this thing that literally creates a new generation.
And you should get a legit amount of vacation, but paternity leave also isn't vacation.
But he also needs to stop having his kids during busy season, come on guy.
You make it sound like paternity leave is a vacation. The poor bastard didn’t sleep for 4 of those 5 weeks.
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.
His wife is a stay at home mom, so I think it's a break for her more than for him. She finally gets help during the day.
He made a choice
It's not compulsory to breed.
I guarantee that during those 5 weeks paternity he was jealous of your office work and well defined sleep schedules.
I mean he wanted the kid more apparently
Yeah we all should be baby machines, making sure the labour force is big enough..
God forbid people want to enjoy a life without them
Point went right over your head.
