Looking to apply to new jobs bc my salary is not keeping up with inflation. But i am also looking to trying to get pregnant in the spring. How do i go about finding more information on a new company's insurance and maternity leave in the stages of applying/interviewing without scaring off a new employer?

Company website usually has a benefits section if it’s a larger company, Glassdoor. Otherwise, I think super pointed questions could raise red flags … obviously it’s illegal to discriminate over that sort of thing but also incredibly difficult to prove.

Search glassdoor reviews, ask on Fishbowl, Google it, if you need DM people on LinkedIn that work there and are female.

Not sure which country you are in, but if memory serves in the UK, you need to have been employed by the company from at least 20 weeks before the pregnancy to obtain the full maternity benefits. All of this would be in the employers handbook, but most likely you would have taken request a copy of that prior to accepting a role.

Check company benefits for Carrot Fertility. Usually a good indication of other leave/family planning benefits.

Could you ask for a summary of the company's benefits? Most organizations have a packet to provide to interviewees. It should provide a rundown of the organization's benefits, costs, leave, PTO, etc. You would want these details regardless of your future planning so that you can conduct a proper comparison between employers.

Im a 6th year associate working for a company that I plan to stay at long term. Currently working under a G.C. that does not analyze anything from a legal perspective, occupies herself with mostly admin/operational issues, and doesnt give any direction on how she wants things “handled.” Just looking for any suggestions from people who have successfully dealt with this before.

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

Is it actually safe for my manager to ask me to drive my truck in the winter? I normally wouldn't mind since I've done it before, but this particular guy just told me to "drive slow" instead of providing me with the necessary safety measures to avoid accidents.

My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
