After chatting with a friend ...

The following poll will be very helpful in sorting some ideas. If you are in paid work and have a minute or two spare, it would be lovely to hear from you![Poll #1401151][Poll #1401151]

I don't know what the maternity leave is but it's lots.

And you forgot to ask whether the agreement was based on employment law.

Yes, I know, but bloody LJ would not let me go back and edit within the poll. Forgot several other things too, however, it's for personal interest rather than science, so I feel less guilty!

The only reason I know what my maternity leave would be is because the law has just changed. My girlfriend called me a bad feminist when I confessed this. She may have a point ...

Well I don't know, and I'm not a bad feminist. I don't need to. I can tell you what the latest equal pay stats are, what the new equality law will look like, and all sorts of other employment law issues.

I'm getting diversity training soon. Snerks. I have no minions I can oppress.

Apparently we all need to be more concerned about babies. After 40 years working on equal pay (yes, I was a toddler with a sign), I'm happy for someone who wants to have kids to tackle that one, I need to do the hoovering.

Maybe they are training you in preparation for minions?

I am concerned about babies. What do you do with the leftovers, given that you can never eat a whole one? Curry?
