Remember when you were waiting to hear back from college admissions? Regular sized envelope meant rejection. Big, thick envelope meant you were accepted. This seems like the big envelope.

Crap, just realized universities probably don't send real mail anymore and y'all have no idea what I'm talking about.

Lol imagine hearing for a full 45 minutes about not getting a job. 30 seconds in they thank you for your time and say they’re going a different direction. Then just 44 minutes of insulting you.

I recently accepted a position with a new org. One of the benefits I asked about with offer was the parental leave policy and was told (in writing by HR) 16 weeks paid after 1 year, which is as good as you can hope for in US. Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?
