Friend was laid off last year and said you get 2 months severance for every year with the firm -- can anyone validate? Is this the case for all levels?

1 week?!? That sucks! I wonder why he got more without negotiating.

1 week per year is not bad. I'm pretty sure EY only does 2 weeks and whatever unused PTO there is

Is it in your employment contract? It is for PwC. Typically Manager+ gets a minimum of 1 month. Max of 3 mths for more than 5 years.

Last year D gave 8 weeks to people they laid off.

ATK gives 2-3 months depending on level

Just got 6 months!

I just recently left big 4 in July to pursue a role at a fintech company. It seemed great during the interview but once I got here it was very unorganized, not clear which team I would support, etc. Long story short, I was told we would have a hybrid work schedule and we are now required to go in-office full time 5 days a week and there have been a ton of layoffs recently. Should I stick it out or look for something else even though I’ve only been here 2 months?

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

Just got laid off and I-94 is expiring on August 5th (based on my passport’s expiry date). I have a new passport and it looks like I’d have to file for Form I-539 to extend the I-94 and avoid being out of status. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Filing fee is pretty expensive so just want to make sure it’s correct. Thanks!

Need some advice from moms here. I just started at a BL recently after graduation. I had a pregnancy loss last year, so I desperately wanted to try again soon.

Have any of the moms here dealt with similar situations before?
