Just got laid off in a company wide lay off. Not everyone from my team was laid off. However it was 3 weeks after I told management I was 4 months pregnant. Has anyone faced a possible pregnancy discrimination?

Laid off. Tequila!

I’m having my first child next month and my sister is coming shortly after the baby is born and staying for an entire month. While well meaning, she can be extremely critical, selfish and patronizing and I really am dreading this already. I can’t tell her not to come because she’s already expended a lot of resources and made arrangements to book her trip but does anyone have tips to minimize the “noise” some toxic family members bring?

Do you have any tips/advise for someone who was laid off recently and early in their career?

Idk what’s wrong w me. Maybe a mild bout of depression or burn out. But I don’t feel emotionally resilient anymore and cry very easily especially when mother decides to give me “feedback” and then gets upset if I ask her not to. I’m so self critical these days and just oscillate between trying to be cheery and feeling down/not like myself. Any advice on how to rebalance and stop crying/emotionally reacting? I know my moms in the wrong but I can’t change her defnof tough love. Just my reaction 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I’d been applying for jobs for the last 6 months, no leads. I removed my photo from my site and LinkedIn, changed multicultural agency to the parent company. Interviews came pouring in Anyone else?

I’m on the work visa and was just laid off from tax. I honestly hated the busy seasons in the last year and was so miserable bc I had to stay to keep my status so I can get my GC, which was the biggest goal for years. Never thought I would grow to dislike my job. So the lay-off is a blessing in disguise in a way! The funny thing is, jobs I’ve heard back so far that sponsor the visa are in PA...I think for my well-being I should just go home, or am I too big of a coward for giving up my goal?

I’m pregnant, scared, and afraid to tell my partner.

Neither of us want a baby right now but I’m scared terminating the pregnancy would ruin our relationship (i’ve heard stories of some men having resentment about it). At the same time we’re not ready to have a baby and that won’t help either.

i just feel like this might be the beginning of the end of our relationship so part of me just wants to handle the is on my own. idk what to do.
