Here's what you need to know about unpaid leave: 1. FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) might apply if your company has 50+ employees and you've worked there for at least a year. This protects your job for up to 12 weeks. 2. If FMLA doesn't apply, it's up to your employer's discretion. Some states have additional protections, so check your local laws. 3. Unpaid leave usually means you're still an employee, so you might keep some benefits. But again, check your company's policy. 4. Your job isn't necessarily protected unless it falls under FMLA or similar state laws. 5. Consider negotiating a return-to-work agreement before you leave. This can help protect your position. 6. Look into whether you qualify for any paid leave options first (sick leave, PTO, short-term disability). 7. Budget carefully. No income for a while can be tough, so plan ahead if possible. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Anyone else feel like the whole system is rigged against workers? Like, why isn't paid leave a basic right? 🤔
I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might be why it's taking so long for legit claims to get processed.
Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system? This is ridiculous in 2023 💀

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're hoping we'll just go away if they ignore us long enough.
