This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

paid maternity leave
Let me guess.... you're from Europe...
Yeah, I work for a hospital system in the states. We do have paid maternity leave, but it's to the tune of 2 weeks, not a whole year
Wanna something to cry about?
Here(Central Europe)
From the moment you are confirmed pregnant you are not allowed to work in any capacity that could endanger you pregnancy - no heavy lifting,no night shift, no overtime, no patient contact that could lead to infections or endangerment (e.g. needle injuries, anesthesia gas, blood, violent patients, etc.). If the hospital can't find a suitable position (e.g. in the outpatient clinics,etc.) you stay at home with full pay - and you are basically unfireable, especially due to anything pregnancy related. Six weeks before the estimated due date you are forbidden to work unless you expressly volunteer to do so (and even then the conditions above must be met). (This is,btw, partially an international agreement by an UN organisation that the US refuses to ratify)
8 weeks after the birth the mother is not allowed to work (unless in very special circumstances), longer for twins,etc. The mother receives full pay and benefits, e.g. vacation days,etc. still accrue.
For 12 months mothers or fathers can stay at home with up to 1800β¬/month (depending on their pre-birth income), the same money will be payed for 14 months if the other partner stays at home for 2 additional months.(E.g. the mother can stay at home for 12 and the father for 2, or both for 7 months,etc.). The employer must retain the job for the mother/father under normal circumstances. Until 3 years one parent (at a time) can stay at home unpayed and the job needs to be partially maintained.
Parents also have a right to work part time in most scenarios.
I know, in the grand scheme of things for you at the moment this is hardly the most pressing issue, but you guys really get cheated over there. I feel bad for you.
Also, you can legally get an abortion. And if you miss the date, you can as a last resort put your baby in a baby box, which is anonymous and not recorded on camera to preserve anonymity, and it will be taken care of so it doesn't die and will most likely be adopted.
Or you can give birth anonymously and give the baby up for adoption then. If you do this or use the baby box there is also a grace period.

Most women aren't even fully healed by two weeks, either.
No one heals in full on capitalism

I was thinking what a nightmare it would be to replace them temporarily.

14 pregnant nurses and one glistening βFertility Doctorβ who just roams around the halls in an open bathrobe chugging orange juice straight out of the container.
Milk, actually.
The container being a 20 gallon bag that thw distributor uses to restock the vending machines in a municipality
Luigi had a brief stay, for 14 hours.
Sources report that the tall dark and handsome radiologist is shitting himself.
It's always the radiologist.
Depends on how big the hospital is... Just asked one of my clients....they have around 100 pregnant nurses at any time. Well,they have around 2500 of them tbh.
I was thinking the same thing, but apparently they are all in the same unit, which makes this more interesting.
Did a new doctor recently start by any chance?
I was going crazy going 'shit, i KNOW i read this before, it cannot be a 2025 article...'
Vindication!

Y'all need to stop sending this article to my wife. I just clean the floors there.

βEvery 10 seconds, somewhere in the world, a baby is born. Your mission is to find this woman and stop her.β
I once worked at a retail job where at one time I had to work the 7AM shift. I get there and Iβm the only male and all three of the female coworkers were pregnant.
I learned more about the female body than any single man should ever know.

This is similar to the reason that Commonwealth Edison, here in Chicago, stop the allowing the hiring of family members. In that instance the last straw is when somebody died in a third of the workers ditched work and went to the funeral.
Shame they didn't have a nepotism policy before.
Were they all working on the same floor?
On the same doctor...
βYeah, we had a fun holiday work party, pretty normal. We didnt go that crazy.β - To their husbands/bfs when arriving home at 3am with tossled hair.
I distinctly remember reading similar news a few years ago.
That's conceivable.
I'd be hard pressed to come up with that.
Could be another case. People do be fuckin'
Yeah? I remember this documentary on some tube.
Man that must have been one fun orgy
It was one hell of an office Christmas party.
Who let Doctor Hamster into the female nurse enclosure?
