| No Images? Click here   The so-called Pence Rule is becoming a thing in corporate America (AP Photo/Jim Mone) When dads demand their rightsThat man in the picture above? Call him the baby whisperer. Or, well, that's what he says they call him anyway. His name is Derek Rotondo and he works for JPMorgan Chase in Ohio. A few years ago Derek asked for time off to be with his newborn son. The bank offered 16 weeks leave to what it called "primary parents." But Derek didn't meet the requirements for the designation. He was told primary parents were moms.That's not great.If women ever want to get treated equally at work they can't be seen as the de facto "primary parent." This leads to call kinds of problems: Your bosses think you're not truly devoted to work. So you're passed over for promotions or travel. Meanwhile, working fathers -- assumed to be mainly devoted to work -- might get ahead in the office, but they don't get to put in the time at home necessary to facilitate an equal parenting partnership. Guess who picks up the slack at home?Derek wasn't willing to stand for the status quo, though. He got his leave, and was able to hone his parenting skills and earn his nickname. Find out how he pulled this off in my story today.Before you go...You can follow me on Twitter @EmilyRPeck    Here's what else you need to know👋You may have noticed our website is now www.huffpost.com.
