It&#8217;s also a period with quite a bit of time for oneself and quite a bit of time for <a href=\"https:\/\/wrongshirts.se\/en\/for-those-who-laugh-when-others-look-away\/\">drinking coffee<\/a> in short windows of calm while someone sleeps. It is a situation where the right mug, the right shirt or the right apron is actually used on a daily basis and serves a purpose.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wrongshirts.se\/en\/the-art-of-giving-a-gift-that-starts-a-conversation\/\">A gift with a motif<\/a> that says something about the person, not about the baby or parenting, is an unusual and appreciated gesture. It reminds the recipient that there is a job, a life and an identity beyond diapers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WrongShirt&#8217;s range is perfect for that occasion. Scroll through with your colleague in mind.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is humor appropriate as a gift in such a context?<\/strong>  It depends on the relationship and on the colleague. If you know the person well enough to know that it lands right, the answer is yes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can we give a joint gift from the whole office?<\/strong>  Yes, you simply place an order and share the cost internally. Choose a theme that the whole group can get behind.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Will I have time to order if my last day at work is approaching?<\/strong>  Check the estimated delivery date at checkout. Order well in advance to make sure it arrives in time.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are there motives that are particularly suitable for parental leave?<\/strong>  No motifs are specifically made for that occasion, but the range suits people with a sense of humor and self-distance. Scroll through and you&#8217;ll find the right one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parental leave dismissal at work is a phenomenon of its own.
