One of my coworkers did the math and figured out the cost of childcare for her newborn would be basically equivalent to her salary, so she quit to stay home. She never returned to the industry, and is now a schoolteacher.

I left my company durning paternity leave (as the dad) because they had massive layoffs and told me I was part of those cuts and wouldn't be paid for the rest of my leave.

Lawsuit?

Check the written leave policy for a clawback. Some company policies require you to repay the paid portion of your leave if you leave within a certain time frame.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
