Got some bad news for you bud

I’m not sure how the FMLA slipped my mind. I’ll have to discuss this with the SO to determine how long we can handle being unpaid. Thank you so much.

No worries, I know I’m extremely privileged to be in the position where I can even have these complaints. Ultimately we’re all working class and have solidarity through that though. I hope both our situations improve.

We’re actually the size of a startup, where you’d think each one of us would be important enough to have some level of job security. But the CEO will just as quickly get rid of someone who just moved here for this job a few months ago as someone who has been with the company since before it was even successful. If even 2 people acted collectively it should be an insane amount of negotiation power, but I honestly don’t trust the CEO to be affected by that at all.
