This woman choose to use her lie to defraud her company and the state out of benefits/compensation. Same way losers in the millions fake injuries, and there is an entire industry around fake job injuries involving lawyers, doctors, and social services. So in that way, she isn't worse than fake injury people. I'm not excusing her, I just don't see her as worse than all the other supposed "gold bricks" who try to get out of work.
Like US transportation secretary Pete Buttigiege and his homosexual lover/husband taking 4 weeks off of work for "maternity leave" after ADOPTING a child. Did you hear that? Two MEN, taking off "maternity leave" and collecting paid benefits, who never needed to recuperate from a pregnancy. So, when you have a system created where some entitled losers can bilk the system and get paid, then some other losers are going to try and find their way to cash in too, even by using fraud.
Too many people today have very immoral attitudes about the obligation to show up to work and do a days work for the pay they already agreed to take. I would be fine with NO paid leave for anyone. Make them take the time time out of their accumulated vacation time, or sick time if they have that. But allowing for special time off, or special benefits, only inspires SOME people to game the system.
