Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is planning to take two months off for paternity leave when his daughter is born. The excited father-to-be made the announcement yesterday on his official Facebook page. The company offers its US employees four months of paid maternity and paternity leave. In the post accompanied by a photo of baby toys, seat and their dog, he said outcomes are better for children and families when working parents take time off to be with their newborns. He wrote;
"Priscilla and I are starting to get ready for our daughter's arrival. We've been picking out our favorite childhood books and toys. We've also been thinking about how we're going to take time off during the first months of her life. This is a very personal decision, and I've decided to take 2 months of paternity leave when our daughter arrives.
Studies show that when working parents take time to be with their newborns, outcomes are better for the children and families. At Facebook we offer our US employees up to 4 months of paid maternity or paternity leave which they can take throughout the year.
Every day things are getting a little more real for us, and we're excited to start this next stage in our lives.
Here's a photo of Beast with our baby seat. I think he knows something's up."
Does that mean fcebook will shut down? Lol

ReplyDeleteSame mark zuckerberg who is bias on countries that people die he only choose the one with the most economic benefit to put their filter on facebook and choses not to for African countries dying on a dialy basis. Him having a baby that's his own fucking business not ours. We don't waanna hear abou this asshole anymore

ReplyDeleteSee, Linda. Men are expected to do as much lifting as the mom. So please stop showing us pics of Nigerian men doing the simplest for their child as if it's a novelty. Hello! They made the baby and should do their part to take care of it.
ReplyDeleteBy that hd actually means working from home. Can hr do without working for a week, talkless of 2months?
