I 100% agree with you, Mark. I was a working mother (bread winner carrying the insurance) that only got six weeks off after delivering my son. It was heartbreaking to pass him off to a day care stranger. Scandinavian families have a two year leave program and kids don’t start school until 7 years old. A much healthier way to start a family, in my opinion. Hopefully your message will resonate with fellow business owners.

I was one of those women who was expected to come back after 3 weeks because I represented that money they wanted to continue making….it WAS hard and I resented my bosses for it. Fast forward almost 15 years later, I now am a sole proprietor and make my own schedule no longer have to answer to anyone but myself. I love your messaging Mark. I hope some day this changes. Your employees are lucky to work for you.
