I mean, that’s not illegal. But super shady

At-will employment (which just about ever state is), means the employer or the employee can terminate the employment at any time with or without notice and with or without a reason. That said, most employees give notice and most employees provide a PIP and a reason. If he feels it is wrongful termination (I.e. discrimination), then it would be wise to seek legal counsel.

Depends on who initiated it

You’re eligible for unemployment then

Job separation letter

My friend’s company sent him a separation letter and refused to state why they were separating from him. The company told him they would not oppose him filing for unemployment.

Basically Yes and he should file for employment.

Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?
