"Flexibility is promoted in all of our large employee meetings, but your actual flexibility comes down to who your direct Supervisor is. Even though we promote this balance, some Supervisors do not provide the flexibility, and still micro-manage all employees. It is also something that is taken away as a "punishment". More often than not, it will be a situation where one of your team members does not show the responsibility it takes to work independently/remote, and due to that, the Supervisor takes away everyone's flexibility, not just the employee who has had poor performance, "

"I believe the MINIMUM amount of week that should be offered (paid) is 12 weeks. I had to use my vacation time to accommodate a 12 week leave. Your emotions, thinking, routine, sleep schedule, etc are not at the optimum level for professional performance, but as soon as you re-enter your workplace, you are expected to perform at your top level, with no excuses. Your reviews and such are not made to accommodate this life changing event. Your performance is measured exactly the same as a full year, without carrying your child, and without giving birth. I do not believe that 10 weeks after you have given birth you are prepared and able to perform at an exceeding level. There can always be an option to come back sooner if you wish, but I think 4-6 months of paid time off would be best. Other countries have proven this to be a successful option. "
