A woman who actually gave birth is a different story but two months is still excessive. If you knew you were pregnant and would have to immediately bail on a new job for which had zero experience, you shouldn’t have taken the job in the first place.

So, yes I would take a woman to task but not to the same extent.

Agreed, there’s obviously a HUGE difference between giving birth, having a newborn and adopting a baby. I have no issue with adoption though, it’s a good thing for a child to end up in a loving environment any way it gets it.

I don't care if it's a fag or a chick, SOMEONE should be doing that job. I know your job doesn't stop if you're on vacation, mine doesn't. Who does his job while he's out pretending like he gave birth?

I also feel this way. If you know you’re not going to be able to fulfill the duties of the job, turn down the offer. If not, then there should be clear succession and an interim head of that department should be put in place. Small kids, children in general and especially twins are a full time task. The should step aside if he’s not able to take care of bidnez.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually don't have a problem with him taking leave.  I agree that he needs to be accessible during a time of crisis, and he ought to have a deputy who can step in and run the department in his absence. 

That said, I would not apply a different standard to him just because he is gay.  Bonding time with newborns is a crucial time for mothers and fathers (including adoptive parents).  He shouldn't be deprived of that opportunity.

Good point. People here seem to forget that the FMLA was passed in 1993. For more details on it, check this out: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/28-fmla

That he's gay, a male and the babies are adopted doesn't disqualify Buttigieg from taking FMLA. As best as I can tell, Buttigieg doesn't have enough time on the job (12 months) to qualify for FMLA. The 12 months can include the 12 weeks a person is using FMLA. He began his job as Secretary of Transportation last February and he went on FMLA last August. He is a least 1 month short of qualifying.

It may vary by state, but in Oregon your employer doesn't have to pay you when you're on FMLA. However, you can utilize any paid leaves you have on the books, such as sick leave and vacation. Another thing which may have changed, was that unless you had paid leave, you had to pay your own healthcare insurance premiums. But, you were allowed to stay on the employer provided plan either way as long as the premium was paid.

I had over 500 hours of accrued sick leave before I retired and a little more than a month of vacation time. I used my accrued sick leave to pay for FMLA when I was caring for my wife and then vacation.

They didn't have to pay but it still put a strain on the company. Most were women who had men at home who made enough money to pay the bills so work was just "me" money. They would claim migraine headaches or that their children had some disorder so they qualified for FMLA. The company was always short staffed and couldn't hire extra workers because then they would have too many employees and no work when those FMLA people did actually show up. Another example of the government fucking up private companies.

Secretary Mayor Pete Is a Disaster
Townhall.com ^ | Octpber 19, 2021 | Derek Hunter
Posted on 10/19/2021, 6:44:28 AM by Kaslin

You know you’re landing serious punches on a liberal when they wrap themselves in their identity in the hope of deflecting criticism. “I expect this kind of attack as a (insert whatever here),” is a favorite of the left, from college campuses to the halls of power in Washington. It’s pathetic, and no self-respecting adult would engage in it, but we aren’t dealing with self-respecting adults, we’re dealing with Democrats, so…

That brings us to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, who is not only wrapping himself in his being gay to protect against justifiable criticism, but also hiding behind his two adopted newborns for good measure too. Not exactly father of the year.

Not only would Secretary Mayor Pete not be father of the year, he really has no business being Secretary of Transportation. I’ll just say it – were he not gay, there is no way this former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, would have been considered for the job. He checked boxes, the right boxes with the left, and that was enough.

His only experience related to transportation issues is his fumbled management of the installation of bike paths in South Bend. He literally brings nothing to the table, and for the last two months he’s been away from the table on secret, unannounced paternity leave because he and his husband adopted a set of twins.

Congratulations to them, but honestly, I don’t give a damn and neither should you. Being a Cabinet Secretary is an important job, if you can’t do it, for whatever reason, resign. Moreover, our country is in the midst of a supply chain crisis involving ports and trucking, all of which falls directly into the portfolio of the Transportation Department. If the guy running that department isn’t showing up for work, for whatever reason, he has to go.

Pete should have the integrity to leave the post, but he won’t because he wasn’t hired for his ability or knowledge of the subject at hand, he was hired because he’s gay. In that regard, he’s still fulfilling what he was hired to do.

When it was finally discovered that he’d been off the job for 2 months, Pete didn’t shamefully admit that he is a worthless figurehead no one missed. Fully two of the nine months he’s been “on the job” were spent with him not on the job and no one noticed. The President and Democrats in Congress are fighting to push through a couple of “infrastructure” bills, and infrastructure is his responsibility, and he hasn’t been around for 60 days…and it wasn’t noticed until last week? There is no better argument for eliminating the whole damned department.

Since that won’t happen, it should at least be headed by someone who knows what they’re doing and is willing to show up to do it, especially when there is a crisis. That person is not Pete Buttigieg.

To cover for his failures and indifference, Pete and his allies in the media have accused his critics of homophobia, naturally, and hating children. Meanwhile, vital supplies sit on ships off the west coast because there aren’t enough truck drivers to deliver the goods that have already been unloaded and are sitting on those docks.

You’d think a Secretary of Transportation would be all over this problem, lecturing California for their dumb and damaging AB 5 law, which essentially outlawed independent contracting. A large percentage of the trucking industry operates on independent contracting, which made a lot of employers drop drivers. Add to that the inflated price of gas out there and you’re successfully destroying most of the profit margin for trucking. That leads to fewer truckers, which backs up everything and damages the country. Pete Buttigieg hasn’t done anything about it.

Worse, Pete doesn’t appear to have briefed the President about the reality of the situation either. Joe Biden announced his “game changing” idea was to have the ports in California stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The only problem is, there’s no point to having more hours to unload ships when you don’t have anywhere to put it or anyone to take it away. Maybe Pete was warming some baby formula at the time, just too busy to get that info to the White House?

The fact is Pete Buttigieg was always going to be a joke as Secretary of Transportation, he just has the misfortune of being in that job at one of the rare times that job matters. Simply put, he’s not up to the task. He can hide behind his kids and sexual orientation all he wants, but nothing he can do will change reality. From the border to the Afghanistan withdrawal, the Biden administration isn’t known for holding incompetence accountable. There’s no reason to think they’ll start now. Hope you’re stocked up on what you need for Christmas.

Another example of the government fucking up private companies.

Oregon, along with several other states instituted paid FMLA which is a real additional cost and not just a loss of manpower to the employer.

There is another side to paid leaves though. I took a lot of paid leave during my employment, because I worked as a political activist for the union who reimbursed my employer for my wages when I was on an assignment. The person covering for me was at a lower pay scale, so the district benefited from my being absent. The same was true for when I took FMLA. That doesn't work in every situation. For example, when someone is at or near the bottom of the pay scale, paying for a sub is a wash.

FMLA is for each employee. So yeah, the "husband" is also eligible for it. Couples using it to take care of their babies can do so for 24 weeks or longer in some cases.

Some using FMLA takes a small risk that their employer may find in their absence that they really don't need the employee. It is possible this could result in the loss of your job even though you can't be fired for using FMLA. Nobody is indispensable. It is something worth thinking about before taking a big block of time off.

My father was in the military, stationed in Germany when I was born. So nope, he didn't get to come back to the states to help my mom care for me. On the other hand, in those times, most women, specially mothers didn't work. Believe it or not, couples and families got by on one income.

My stepdad also owned his own business. Like your father, he worked many hours and most days. He tried to take one day off a week. There was no paid time off for him....no vacations. I don't recall him staying home when I my sisters were adopted to help my mom take care of them. But like I already mentioned, a lot of women, like my mom didn't work outside the home.

There is no federal paid maternity leave. Some states like California, have maternity leave. Maternity leave is for the mother only before and after the birth of a child. Most women today work almost up to the day they deliver unless there are complications. Once the baby is born FMLA comes into play. In some situations FMLA can begin before the baby is born. To further complicate the matter of leaves there is also paid disability leave in some states that cover a woman who is unable to work due to issues with her pregnancy.

Not sure what your point is. He’s a Presidential appointee in a high level position. He’s only been in the position for 8 months and has taken already two off. Do you understand his responsibilities? I doubt anyone in this administration especially Biden has put in close to an eight hour day.

IMO, it shows that we could downsize Government by at least a half and the results would be positive.

Agreed.

Also, he should be able to work from home and still have plenty of time with his children.

There is no excuse for him completely disappearing.

He applied for the wrong job.

Actually, for a leach it’s the right job. Same way Government work was the perfect career for Biden.

So who takes his place while he's off bilking tax dollars? If I take vacation, I have to have 2-3 people in place and I still have to answer emails/phone calls, who does his job while he's off?


His assistant , Arlando Teller but you guys forget that he's no longer an elected official but a federal government employee..  much like other workers who are fathers , he's entitled to paternity leave, days off, holiday pay, etc.  Criticize his work if you must but not for taking time off to handle family affairs

It's not that simple, as has been pointed out in the thread already.

There's a difference between him and "other workers who are fathers".

He's a Cabinet member who has been on the job 8 months, and there's a crisis that his department is specifically built to handle.  Therefore, being mostly away for two months is unacceptable.

A former Arizona state house rep is not qualified to do that job. Certainly not one this fabulous.

Again, it's not about the time off (different subject IMO) but about the job and who is taking responsibility for the work. He has stated, according to Prime, that he is still making all major decisions, so he should be answering for the backlog and dealing with that.

It's not oil prices, it's the hundreds of ships off the coasts around the US that is causing a lot of problems. Point being, if you or I miss work, someone has to fill in for us right? He claims that he's making the decisions still while he's off, ok cool, but those decisions and responsibilities will also create heat when they are impacting massive amounts of people around the country.

'Any man who takes six months of leave for a new-born is a loser': Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur slams Pete Buttigieg for taking paternity leave
Daily Mail ^ | Oct 28 | By ARIEL ZILBER



A Silicon Valley venture capitalist says that men who take six months of paternity leave are ‘losers’ and that ‘in the old days men had babies and worked harder to provide for their future’ which was ‘the correct masculine response.’

Joe Lonsdale weighed into the raging debate sparked by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s decision to take paternity leave after he and his husband, Chasten, welcomed adopted twins into their family.

Buttigieg was criticized for taking paid time off while the country continues to suffer from the effects of a major logjam at ports that has exacerbated the supply chain crisis.

Lonsdale, a co-founder of global software giant Palantir Technologies and current managing partner of 8VC, was reacting on Wednesday to a segment on Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is streamed daily on Spotify.

Rogan agreed with Lonsdale’s view that men should not be entitled to paid time off to spend with their newborn children.

There is no such thing as "working harder" for the govt. Same pay either way. Most govt workers spend more time talking about how not to work than the actual work.

It's like this across the board.
