AAQ: In a world of telecommuting, our firm and others I work with typically have no problem accommodating the needs of those who are shomer shabbos or with other religious preferences. Our bigger problem these days are the burdens of dealing with increasingly generous paternal leave policies where younger associates can take off for up to six months with pay after the birth of a child and be assured of returning to their prior position with no loss of status. It creates significant frictions with those who have to pick up the slack while they are out on leave.
