I sent that Dave Thomas info to our HR dept, and they responded with "we are not a large enough company to offer benefits". We have 1000 employees. That seems large to me, but whatever! The Chairman and CEO of our company has an adopted daughter from China, too!

As far as leave benefits, of course we get 12 weeks off for FMLA, but only 2 weeks paid parental leave, and then the rest is floating holidays (of which we have two) and then PTO (of which I get about 5 weeks a year, but I can only carry over two weeks to next year - which is unfortunate because I have lots of PTO saved up for this year, but with a 11/22 LID, it's very hard to predict when we will travel - although I am assuming not until 2007). Once PTO and floating holidays are used, we can also borrow up to 100 hours of PTO not yet accrued or we can take time off unpaid. So I may be able to have all 12 weeks off.
