I was laid off at the very start of the pandemic with absolutely no warning. I believe there were several of us. Our insurance was taken away the day that we were informed we were let go. During a pandemic.
Additionally, I was not repaid for all of the PTO that I had earned and intentionally saved up for a future trip. I had even put in some hours on Christmas day, to make up for the time I had to take off that week for my grandfather's funeral, since there was no bereavement leave. I also did not take a full week off after I got married. The office manager jokingly asked why I was in the office the Monday after my wedding. I just laughed, but I should have brought to his attention the abysmal time off policy.
I understand this is typical for companies in the US, but just don't be fooled about companies like this who say they care about their employees. It is not a family. It is a purely transactional relationship. Don't expect anything more. My experience was incredibly frustrating.
