No paid maternity leave…

I’ve been working for my company for almost 6 years. When I was hired as a full time employee a year ago they did not give a solid outline of maternity benefits or have me sign anything when starting the new position. I told them in December I was pregnant thinking it would give them time to think through their policy as I know it is a very small company. They let me know this week there is 0 paid maternity leave. I’m frustrated and shocked because they are a “progressive” company in every sense of the word but are not even offering a week of pay. Only that I can use my vacation/ sick time if I want which is very limited They are even doing a campaign celebrating pregnant mothers for mother’s days but do not care enough to pay for any leave…. Is it an awful thought…

Is it an awful thought to want quit over this reason ?
