If you knew that you are going to get laid off in 5 days, would you do any shenanigans (Medical leave, Family leave etc. ) to be out and delay the inevitable?
Just so you can buy more time to look for new job

Would I? No. But my situation may be different and I’ve had the opportunity to build a modest savings/investment port. so I would weather it easily.

I would absolutely do that if faced with an unexpected layoff and my family (income, insurance etc) was seriously at risk.

C3, no, it just protects you from being fired FOR taking the leave because you’re ill, or whatever other reason you’re taking the leave. It does not protect you from being fired or laid off while you are on leave for issues that have nothing to do with you being on leave.

You can google it.

Look if you can finesse the system, by all means, do your thing!
