director let us know that Q4 is going to be 12 hour work days, almost every day. If I refuse and get fired, what are my chances of getting on unemployment? I’m in NYC, I know location plays a big role.

Sounds like a private complaint to the dept of labor

If you get fired, you’ll get unemployment

Sorry no they won't. NY is at will, and they will say they violated a policy as the termination reason. This is no different than people being let go for refusing to follow RTO mandates, which is happening all over. Those people cant get unemployment or severance either. If it's not a true layoff, theres no severance or unemployment.

Tell your director to get better at sticking to timelines and managing clients.

If you get fired in an at-will state, without good evidence that it was discriminatory, no unemployment for you.

If they put it in writing and you're exempt from overtime pay, agree with CD1. But honestly, I'm kinda skeptical of the notion that anything actionable will come of such a complaint, unless you've got enough colleagues to back you up.

If you refuse to work the additional hours then isn’t it your fault? Not complying with a company‘s work policy doesn’t look good. I’m also rooting for you! :)

Don’t refuse but do a mediocre job and get fired. Get the unemployment. Also i’ve never heard of “at will”, what does that mean?

As I understand it, a company can fire you at any time for any reason. If there's a lay-off, then you can collect unemployment. There has to be more to it than that, right?

I had a baby almost a year ago. I should start a 529 account for my child but I am originally from France which also makes her a French citizen and she could easily go to college in France for not much money. It’s pretty much free there, I have 0 Student loan debt. With that in mind, a 529 would not be super helpful if we go that route. Should I consider other options? Do you have suggestions? Thanks so much!

What is everyone’s take on the NYC housing market? More people and businesses are moving out. I’d imagine it has to continue to dip. Also, they’re considering turning adding more units by converting commercial space into residential space. Inventory is going to be through the roof for rentals. I’d think that has to ultimately impact home prices.
