Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg goes on maternity leave

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg after the birth of his daughter will go on two months on maternity leave. He said this on his official page on the social network.

“This is a very personal decision, and I decided to take a two-month parental leave,” Zuckerberg wrote. He explains his action by the fact that, according to the results of the study, the temporary departure of parents from work after the birth of a baby has a positive effect on the family as a whole.

Also, the billionaire told how he and his wife Priscilla are preparing for replenishment in the family: “We collect our favorite children's books and toys,” he noted.

While Mark Zuckerberg does not tell who will replace him as head of Facebook. Reuters claims that the chief candidate for this place is COO Sheryl Sandberg.

In early August, it became known that Mark Zuckerberg will be the father. According to him, he and his wife Priscilla are expecting the birth of their daughter. Previously, the couple already tried to have a child three times, but all attempts ended in miscarriages.

Mark Zuckerberg married his longtime friend Priscilla Chan 19 on May 2012. He met her while he was studying at Harvard University.
