I thought it was a bit serious on the matter of someone wanting to get pregnant and not having their way at the office. But as an employer I have seen one or two ladies who want this maternity leave every year and they still have to be on the pay roll. Should there be any hurry in getting children or is spacing not something one can do?
You have asked a very deep and searching question which demands a careful look at a large number of issues that one does not ordinarily choose to look at.
