Woohoo 2 weeks from going on maternity leave, got laid off by Meta today
I knew layoffs were a thing but for some naive reason I thought being a person of color, a woman, and being pregnant was going to offer me a little bit of protection at such a scrutinized tech company.
Without telling me to hire a lawyer does anyone know if I can collect full bi-weekly paychecks until my full termination date of July 22 AND collect maternity benefits starting June 1?
Would love to hear how others have navigated layoffs and mat/pat leave simultaneously!
Edit: because so many people are fixated with my comment on why I thought i was protected - Just want to say please move on with your life, i just got laid off and seeking answers to the more important question of how to best navigate this journey two weeks from going on maternity leave. Thanks!
