Layoffs coming up - Curious if anyone has experience with voluntary leaves? Would prefer this over having to sit back and wait for what’s to come. Is there an appropriate way to go about this - in a situation where the employer hasn’t provided this as an option (yet)? Or would this immediately ruin one’s chances of getting a severance package?

I wouldn’t go for that option unless it is offered by the company or I would take the package that is offered. If you are anxious and impatient start looking for a job while you are still employed.

At the moment I think the new trend is that companies force you to get back into the office so you will resign on your own.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

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. 🤷
