Looking for some specific info on Short Term Disability eligibility at EY. I would like to accept an offer, but won’t be eligible for 16-wk parental leave before 1 yr of tenure. This is an important detail for me since I am expecting this year. I have received in email that for parents who have a child *before* 1 year, that they are eligible for STD after 3 mnths at 100% for 6 weeks (+3weeks of approved PTO). is there fine print that pregnancy is a ‘pre-existing condition’ and I’d be denied?

Any leads would be much appreciated
Also, an insight into culture and reviews would be very helpful as well.
Thanks in advance! 😊

I’ve worked for everything I have. No privilege at all. I worry that the business will be slow to recover, and we’ll face hardship in the industry in a few months. No worries now. Busy as can be.
Nah, he or she would just be fortunate. We have rights, which our Declaration of Independence and Constitution say belong to all people (regardless of whether their own governments recognize such rights). These are universal, not particular claims. See the Oxford example, rights aren’t privileges.
Right before hitting 50 a couple months ago I started worrying about being single and alone and what will happen to me when I grow old alone. Now I’m truly feeling alone and on my down days, it makes me sad and occasionally irritable. But on my good days, my happy introvert is fine and doesn’t dwell on these thoughts...I cook and bake and ride my bike and have the occasional zoom or FaceTime call with people. Nice to be able to vent anonymously to y’all, fishies.
Terrifies me that I could lose my mom.
Me too for both, my Mom and yours.
I have no privilege.
Privilege is an unearned right which can be exercised with impunity. I have none of those.
Of course I don’t think only those groups can make it college. Just saying it was incredibly easy and available to me because of my privilege.
Also very much agree with S2 it is a privilege to be able to work from home.
Increased nationalism and isolationism globally, which can lead to a greater possibily of war.

I think most countries will stop outsourcing critical industries, but otherwise the world will return to sanity.
I’m 24 and I’m worried this will change my future forever. I’m worried about the long lasting effects we don’t know about yet.
I'm worried about my family members who work in healthcare, esp my sister who is an ER nurse and works with covid patients every day. She has asthma, so she is literally risking her life every day when she goes to work.

Losing my parents. Already lost a grandmother and an aunt, and my dad is super at-risk
I’m very sorry to hear that.
Being stuck as a single person now, having big life stages delayed, and so pushing up against the end of realistic child-bearing years.
C1, I’m married and a very recent first time parent, but I have really been thinking a lot of people in your position. I can’t imagine what dating and meeting new people will look like over the next month, 3 months, year, etc. I assume Counsel = attorney (attorney here) and I know so many delay marriage/dating through education and early career because of the rigors of law (I did). Please know I’ll say a prayer for you now, and whenever this topic comes to mind. I’m very sympathetic to your situation and hope you get what you want.
Even after doing everything right, getting sick because of someone being stupid, and then never seeing my kids again.
It’s the lack of perspective taking and critical thought. We’re a giant country and what’s right for North Dakota right now isn’t necessarily right for New York City. Yet it seems like everyone looks out their doors and assumes that whatever is right in their region must be right for this whole gigantic country. Like, if you see horrific suffering in your state, you want the whole country shut down. And if you see things are mostly okay in your state because you have a lower population and people more spread out and more hospital beds per capita, you think everyone else is drastically overreacting and are stupid to shut down. Why does it not occur to people that other situations are different and other perspectives might be valid over there?
PWC4, to be fair the data does not support your statement at all. ND is nowhere near Wash, and isn’t expected to be anywhere near it.

I work a white collar job, but I worry for my parents, who are in high chances of being laid off, assuming all payments for them if needed, and carrying all the responsibility while I have a sibling who will love under the same roof with a better paying job and contribute nothing.
Wow sounds like if your parents are laid off you need to make your sibling contribute.
