Jeez people, why would you freak her out like that. How can you just say, "yeah you're getting fired"? Like another person said, it might just be a touch point after a long absence to confirm next steps and any other admin stuff you need to close out.

That's some bullshit. They shouldn't fire someone who just had a baby. Did it hurt heir conscience even a little?! You will be fine OP. Another opportunity will come. I'm sure you are a very skilled professional. Enjoy the new addition to the family.

Honestly this is why when people say you owe it to your team and your firm to do xyz I say screw that. Yes, be professional and don't burn bridges...but remember that your firm will cut ties with you quicker than you can blink if the going gets hard. I'm really sorry OP it's terrible timing!

I am so sorry OP. They did EY firing today in my office. Lesson learned that if you get an email to meet with HR, it means you are getting fired.

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
