Summary

The author of the article, who is the CEO of Zapier, reflects on the experience of taking 14 weeks of paid parental leave after having a child. Initially, he was skeptical about taking such a long time off from work, but ultimately found it to be incredibly beneficial for his well-being and ability to transition back to work. The key factors that made this experience successful were the company's policy of respecting employees' boundaries during their leave, the manager's approach to keeping in touch without being intrusive, and the employee's own confidence in unplugging from work. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of having a generous parental leave policy for employees, citing examples of other companies that offer similar benefits.
