No, I think it is different. Most companies will state their maternity/paternity leave at hiring, or will do so if asked. I know when I am hired, that if someone in the office gets pregnant, they are allowed maternity, and by accepting the job agree that I am aware of this, whether I am or not. If I didn't ask by that time, it is my fault for not asking- not for them not telling me.

However, the fact that the job I was hired to do is expected to change because someone else has kids is different. I did not accept the job with the understanding that if someone with kids had a problem, I would be expected to bite the bullet.

It is hard to put into words right now, but it is still true.
