Yup, I think my company might try this with me next year when I have baby number 2.
The lack of maternity leave is also aimed at local women who have nannies who will sleep with the baby at night - thus they will not have a disturbed nights rest before going to the office. For religious and modesty reasons all the local women who I ever worked with had their own offices - making breat pumping easy, not everyone has the luxury of this facility. Also, alot of companies give an enormous amount of annual leave so that they can add this to their maternity entitlement. And, who is going to challenge a local woman when she fails to return to work after her 50 days? No one.
Unfortunately, I fall into none of these categories.
