I worked for a Silicon Valley company who made a big deal about their family leave policy.

I was an employee and live and work in Minnesota. The policy did not apply to me : (

Sounds like they chose not to apply the policy to you. What would have stopped them, if tiit was something you wanted.

The policy was dictated by the state of California believe. Funded by taxes taken by the state.

So I suspect they couldn’t rely on CA so the company opted that if you weren’t in CA you were out.

The company could’ve paid of course, but by that time they weren’t that kind of a company anymore.
