I am one of 2 people in my department and we service the entire continent. He has been on paternity leave THREE TIMES in the years i’ve been here and each time he gets 5 weeks off. I swear every time he takes off, it’s a busy part of the year and i’m absolutely slammed doing everything by myself and customers don’t understand. Then he also gets like 4 weeks of vacation, so it feels really unfair for me with my dog and no kids. But then again, i hate kids and want nothing to do with them, so i guess he needs those 5 weeks.

Maybe they should hire another person. Your problem shouldn’t be with this dude who’s doing this thing that literally creates a new generation. And you should get a legit amount of vacation, but paternity leave also isn’t vacation. But he also needs to stop having his kids during busy season, come on guy.

You make it sound like paternity leave is a vacation. The poor bastard didn’t sleep for 4 of those 5 weeks.

Yeah because he should be timing what months he has sex with his wife to accommodate your employers’ schedule /s This is the fault of your employer for understaffing your department.
