Re: Google nixes paying out rest of medical leave for laid-off employees
#103Why should Google pay maternity leave for laid off workers? They are no longer employees once they're laid off. At the very most they deserve a severence.
Yes, if the worker was on maternity leave when laid off. What I have noticed about American culture, despite having money they are extreme penny pitches in the oddest of places.
I am the parent of this thread and been heavily downvoted for my initial comment. I agree with you. If the worker was already on maternity leave they should get stay on maternity leave for the duration of the leave regardless of layoffs. What I was referring to an employee that had been already laid off by google, and at some point after needs to go on maternity leave. I'm not sure google should be obligated to support maternity leave in that case as the employee is no longer subject to company benefits (with the exception of access to COBRA/health insurance)

#105Can someone argue convincingly that this is ethical?

#106FTA: Google has decided to not honor pre-approved leave
Basically, going back on your word. No honour.

No. It’s pure greed. Move with your feet people. Sign petitions, form unions, quiet quit.

“The most ethical action a company can take is to maximize the shareholder’s value, no matter the long term cost.”

If these people want severance on top of maternity leave, it’s not really fair to the other people laid off.
