Unfortunately, “the more “normal” it becomes and the more comfortable for everyone.” can lead to abuses. I’m not sure I agree if only a few take it, it is a subject for guilt. But I sure do see the other side of the coin: if many take it, so many it seems normal, then THAT leads to suspicions and doubts.

Family leave is an issue I experienced at the workplace. An amazing 25% of the production staff qualified for medical leave, mostly their own illnesses. 25%! Frankly, I don’t believe all were as bad off as they claimed. 1 out of 4 too ill to work has got to be an extremely didproportionate # in a workplace. Sadly, when a few bad apples(and yes a couple did get fired for falsifying their claim) get caught abusing the system it sheds a bad light on all that use the system. FMLA has tightened its guidelines recently and hopefully those changes may reduce the fraud claims.
