[lawyers have been contacted]
My partner asked for FMLA leave for burnout at the beginning of February which was given to others at their org. They were granted the 3 weeks they requested.
In the same meeting they were told that their position had run out of funding and that they would not have a job when they came back from leave.
They then got a severance agreement that read like an NDA and is only 1/2 months pay after being at this org for 3 years.
NOW they get an email from their employer that they need to submit more documents for short term disability- something they never requested.
It feels like the employer wants my partner on short term disability rather than give them severance.
Anyone have experience with this? On top of the legal logistics it’s a lot to handle emotionally and wondering if anyone had some advice on how to keep your head on straight.
