CEO of a multi billion dollar international business

Companies simply can’t always pay people to not work for 6 months to a year, so they’ll go somewhere where they don’t have to.

Why ‘simply can’t’ a ‘multi billion dollar international business’ offer paid parental leave, if so required by law? This does not make any sense, large international corporations will do business wherever they can profitably.



I wasn't saying that this particular multi-billion dollar can't afford it. Just that there are many smaller companies that can't.

This particular multi-billion dollar company certainly doesn't want to pay it. And so they get their employees from other places. They still do business in France and have customers there. They are a SAAS company. They just don't hire from there.

Also, they do offer paid parental leave. Just not an entire year of it.
