Reply #8: First, it's Texas [View All]

We just follow the federal FMLA, there no extra statue concerning maternity leave.

Secondly, there is no employee rule about spreading rumors, but I haven't done it other than advise her to talk to someone and double check. There would be no suspicion of me talking to her in the first place, we're merely co-workers and not "friendly" anyways.

And BTW, my boss is the de facto HR dept and she doesn't know what the fuck she's doing most of the time. I would think the fact that she expressly said in the open office very happy like how she hope the woman on leave quits b/c they're going to put her on the night shift would rule out any rumor causing.
