Yes. He's wants to go inhouse. Doesn't have an offer in hand. Said they will keep him around at least 6 months after he returns to avoid lawsuit pwn.

so he's going to be getting 9 months salary to do probably 3-4 months work, and you're wondering if he's nuts?

No. He's assuming he'll be slow when he returns but that regardless how slow, they'll at least give him 6 months.

I know a bro who took 12 weeks paternity leave but broke it up over the course of a year. So he was gone for 4 weeks, 4 weeks, 4 weeks. It was bizarre.

this is pretty common in gov jobs, husband and wife will take off alternating months, take turns being primary caregivers

everyone. 6 weeks paid, 6 weeks unpaid. Some with up to 10 weeks paid. Can' discriminate based on sex of parent.

doesn't sound right - at my firm at least, it is 4 weeks if you're the secondary caregiver and a shitload (I don't know how much, 16 maybe) if you are the primary caregiver. No discrimination on gender, but very rarely would a straight guy be the primary caregiver of a kid.

oh, unpaid...that doesn't really count.

definitely can discriminate based on who is the primary caregiver. that is why most firms give 18 weeks paid to that person.

I know of one that had 12 weeks paid for bros as recently as a couple of years ago. People actually took it too. Knew of a few that lateraled within a year of their return as well.

I know a guy who took 3 months paternity leave, came back on a Monday, and gave 2 weeks notice on Tuesday to go in-house. Firm was MAF about it. He claimed it was mere coincidence.
