Just got told I’m being laid off as part of a resource action and I am 5 months pregnant. I’ve been in-house at this company for just over 3 years. I’m due this summer and my manager said my last day is technically the day after my due date but I’ll get paid through my maternity leave, and can sign the separation agmt as soon as my mat leave ends. Is there anything I should be doing to protect myself? This is a strange scenario and I’m at a loss.

Wow your employer sounds dumb to not make you sign the agreement today. So essentially if something discriminatory happens between today and when you’re supposed to sign the agreement, you can refuse to sign unless they increase your severance. They’re giving you unknown leverage. So let it be like that. Don’t give them any reason to fire you sooner. Be good enough at your job. And make sure the agreement clearly states how they will pay you for your leave. And what about health insurance? If you’re relying on yours for you and the baby, that should be part of the negotiation.

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
