My wife had a heart attack not long after giving birth to my second child. My parental leave was planned for a few weeks later. When I got the call, I closed my laptop walked out of a meeting and went to the hospital. I didn't come back to Atlassian until my life was sorted out many months later.

They handled everything for me to make it easier.

I'll add that they pay 100% of my health plan and the birth of my kids cost less than the 3 whole foods bag I bought on the way home.

Whole Foods? Aren't they the union-busting[1] exploiters? I'll take your anecdote under advisement.
