Kinda shitty deal

I work for a global company that just announced Thursday that they are selling the asset I work in. I am a contractor which means severance pay/transfer are not offered (not that at 34 weeks transferring would be an option) Regardless, they plan to "hand over the keys" on my due date so I have spoken with HR regarding my short term disability. If I deliver before the sale is complete I can receive my benefits but if I go past my due date and the sale happens I will not receive my benefits. As a first time mom I know it could go either way as far as when baby is ready. Sorry for the rambling, just feeling slapped in the face.

Re: Kinda shitty deal

  • Most states have disability during unemployment and it pays the same as regular disability. Id look on the state website and read the details.
  • Is your disability plan something you can continue after you leave your job? If it is through Aflac, they often let you continue after leaving the job

  • So sorry you are having to deal with this. Best of luck!

  • Thank you. I've checked with legal and nothing I can do once the sale is final. I love when people say "just relax it will all work out". As if I'm unaware that I have no control over the situation. It's just shitty timing to try to remain calm and not able to have a cocktail with my coworkers.
  • See if you can get your doc to order you out of work a week or two early before the sale takes effect. Your disability should kick in from the date your doctor says you can no longer work until the return to work date. Some doctors are flexible and yours might me willing to do so if you explain the situation.
