I would have started my maternity leave in just a few weeks and now I’m no longer eligible for the state program either. This company is heartless. Working in the US is lame. One of my former international clients reached out and shared their outrage and disgust.
For those who bug me about lawyers etc: yes I know I can look into discrimination as a protected class. Unfortunately I wasn’t the only one laid off so my chances getting a W there are slim. Still planning to pursue it though.
