Well....

I was just "laid off". I can't say I didn't see this coming but I'm still a little shocked. Guess I'll have to step up my job search.

  • What asses! I am sorry for you. I thought they had to hold a position for you under FMLA.

    They don't have to. They're small enough to get around FMLA or any state laws. They apply to companies of 50+ employees. My firm isn't anywhere close to 50+. 

    Its a blessing in disguise though. I could not have been more unhappy there. I needed the push to really start looking for a new job.

  • I'm so sorry to hear this! I was also laid off when I had my lo. It's the worst possible time for added stress :(
  • What a$$hats!  I think it is a blessing in disguise if you were that unhappy there.  Good luck on your job hunt.

  • That happened to me both times I had my kids, and after my surgeries last year. Last year was the first time they didn't call me later that week & say, "Just kidding!"

    Good luck with the job search!
