More: I was laid off while 9 months pregnant. (Spoke to lawyer, unfortunately no grounds for suing since it was half my Dept). I’ve now given birth and trying to get my life in order… Do I file for Unemployment and/or Disability Insurance?

I was laid off at 31 weeks pregnant 🫤 I am in NJ but assume NY is similar. I would imagine you would need to apply for some sort of “disability during unemployment” which is different from short term disability you’d apply for while on leave but technically still employed. I would guess you would get like 6ish weeks of that benefit and then maybe could apply for something like Family Leave During Unemployment. It sounds weird, but scour Facebook for a group that specializes in helping answer these types of questions. They exist in NJ! I bet they do in NY too.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?
