Ten Companies That Give You The Longest Paid Maternity Leave
When we think maternity leave, we usually think 6 or 8 weeks, but some companies pay for way more time off than that.
I've never had a baby, but I know a LOT of women who have, and I know how hard it was for those moms when they had to go back to work. They had to leave their babies home with a baby-sitter, drop them off at daycare or with grandma and head back to their old life at work.
On top of the emotional difficulties of going back to work after having a baby, you know there's physical stuff too, that might not make you ready to go back so soon.
So you should probably get a job at one of these ten companies if you wanna delay those feelings.
