Hello, I'm currently on parental leave and will be returning to office in SLC (operations role) on August 3rd. It sounds like there are layoffs set to occur the day I return. Now, this isn't something I would normally even consider - but my grandmother did in fact pass away while on leave, so I could technically apply for bereavement leave for the day of layoffs (yes I know this won't save me forever, but hey, why not get an extra two weeks of pay).
I don't know for sure if I will be one of the ones cut on August 4th, but I know I have ~1 year at most due to the location strategy.
Yes, I can in fact provide proof of my grandmother's passing as I am a direct inheritor of her (very small) estate.
Just curious to see what everyone thinks about this idea.
