I have no idea what I'm talking about but aren't those types of things usually bought before-hand from insurance companies? I.e. your company pays a certain amount so that the insurance company pays out according to the kind of plan that was already decided on.

D1 I don’t think so...some companies roll short term disability as part of maternity leave and some companies seem to just have their own policy that’s not linked to insurance. That’s why I’m curious if anyone has attempted or successfully been able to negotiate this benefit.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
