  • Ugh can’t believe I’m guna do this but it’s understandable to layoff an employee not knowing they’re on maternity/paternity leave since the pandemic. I am only speaking for NY State, and know it’s different state by state. After covid they did the paid family leave and maternity leave changes that I thought were done at federal level but could be wrong. If the woman was laid off SEVEN MONTHS into her maternity leave then she was using googles maternity leave plus paid family leave which is federal, plus whatever Cali gives you for time off. Correct me if Im wrong but no state or company is giving 7 months paid maternity leave.

    What i was getting at tho is, with some of these maternity/paternity leaves, you can disperse them over a couple months. What this means to an HR dept is, an employee could go thru the company’s allowed time off, then use the states, then use the fed.

    I know it’s google and I’m speaking from the experience of running a small business but HR is making “i’s” get dotted, paychecks don’t bounce and state and federal paperwork is files for all scenarios that demand it. I could see it being very easy to lay someone off not realizing they are on maternity leave and not just out on disability or sick leave.

    I mean who the fuck takes 7 months off for a fuckin baby anyway🤣 what are you guna do jump back into the routine like you didn’t miss a step so they layoff your fill in? I looked it up and according to google themself they just increased their l3ave to 24 weeks. So she spent the maternity leave and was prolly using vacation or the other options. In which case why would google be liable?













  • 2 dudes showing PDA. Really any PDA makes me cringe but 2 dudes has always grossed me out too much to not turn away. Have gay friends, best friend has a gay dad, Im eskimo brothers with a former chick who was a dude waiting to have the surgery to be a dude before any gender related shit was making headlines, I also worked for years as both a chef and a male nurse that gave me a higher than average exposure to gay coworker dudes compared to other industries I’ve worked in. I love them all and love(ed) hanging out with any one of them but when it comes to actually seeing the gay shit, I can’t do it. I gotta turn away or see what’s going on in other rooms. Seeing a dude and a chick or 2 chick’s is more roll the eyes kind of cringe but the 2 dudes is more of a physically grossed out feeling. If that’s homophobic then fuck it I guess I’m homophobic.
