What is the policy on paternity leave at your workplace? As far as you know, has anyone taken it?

I work at a pretty big company here. It wouldn't be possible 5 years ago, but plenty of fathers take paternity leave for like 3 months now, no one bats an eye, it's just the new normal. Some in management that are deemed too important, usually strike a deal to go home early (like 3 to 4pm) everyday for 6 months or so.

I work in finance in the US. My company has paid maternity/paternity leave for 6 weeks and unpaid for up to one year. As far as I know both male and female employees generally take the full six weeks and some take another month or so unpaid, but very few (only a few mothers that I am aware of)take the full year.

Two weeks here - As long as I have been at this company (11 years) - everyone has taken it with no repercussions.

For my first kid, I took a week off, and spend it with my wife in the hospital. In principle, I could take one year off, but my career would immensely suffer.

I had a day off.

It's only two weeks in my job and nearly everyone avails it but could still be called to work at a drop of a hat

I think we can take paternity leave on paper, but no way in hell would I chance the repercussions by taking it. I need my current job and bonus more than I need some time off.
