HR vent...

My company outsources some of their HR functions like leave..... so I was told that they won't do my paperwork until 1 month before my due date.  It's a little over a month away so I called this morning, just to see if I could get it started and what I found out was that since I am not doing FMLA leave (only worked there 6 months), they won't do my paperwork until January 16th.  "What if baby comes early?" "Oh just call us within 3 days of the incident."

 OMG. So apparently, going on maternity leave is no big deal over there and I'm sure I will have nothing better to do than to call them when I am within 3 days of having my baby to sit on the phone and get paperwork done.  Fun.

Ugh, that sucks. Why don't people understand that having a baby is a lot of work and a time suck, and the last thing you want/need to be doing is calling HR and doing paperwork?!
