I was given a sudden layoff notice last week. We’re expecting our second one in a couple of months. I’ve been offered 4 weeks severance and 4 weeks COBRA. My wife has a job and insurance. Does it make sense to not sign the separation agreement just yet and take FMLA? Is that possible? Or should I just take the money, switch to my partner’s insurance, and interview? Any suggestions welcome.
FMLA isnt immune to layoffs, unless its pip
Zscaler has layoffs?
Looks like they do the Cloudflare style. Layoff people saying it's "performance" and give 4 weeks. Immediately open a new req for a cheaper salary
It's not we*
Take the money, switch your partner, and interview
If only everyone who got laidoff switced their partners
How do I convince my partner to switch a new partner on layoff ?
Stop the self pity and go get a new job, period.
You can’t take fmla now. You can try to negotiate the severance though.
Last week zscaler were hiring
I switched to my partner’s insurance in similar circumstances. Good luck.
OP FMLA won't protect you from termination at this point, but depending on your company's STD benefits you can both get severance and have their insurance pay you while on disability, you just can't claim unemployment or get another job until you stop STD.
STD for the father? He's not the one giving birth - on what grounds can he qualify for STD?
Do they know you are expecting a child? 4 weeks is hilarious in your case (and not in a good way). Ask for 16. Try applying to FMLA like N.O.W. and see what happens.
