I’ve heard of people using tuition reimbursement to enroll in programs that give perks as part of signing up for the class (amazon gift cards, Apple products, etc...) Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? Could be a nice perk to go with some good education.

If I were your employer, I would look at this as a scam and demand you pay back the reimbursement if you want to keep your job. But that’s just my opinion.

I’m confused....
you’ve heard of this
You want to know if anyone has heard of this
You think education groups should do this

So- is this a real thing offered or not? You seem to have both views. Examples?

I believe OP meant that they heard about it from somewhere and wanted to confirm if it’s actually a thing or just a false rumor. If it exists, then it’s nice to have.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
