U.S. Tech Layoffs Hit Two-Decade High in October - thefivepost.com
thefivepost.comU.S. tech layoffs surged to a 20-year high in October 2025 as firms cut costs and embrace AI, signaling major shifts in the job market.
Hmm. Uhoh.
I’m out on FMLA. Am I even going to have a job when I get back?
Oh, oh, my turn: I was fired on my first day of FMLA for a mental break caused by the ongoing discrimination at my workplace. Woohoo!
Edited to add: your job is protected for 12 months on FMLA. Your specific position is protected for 3 months after which they either have to give you a job, but not necessarily the same position you were in previously.
Oh. Well I’m not gonna be out that long.
I hope.
Uhoh. It really depends on how well I do and it is not well so far.
I hope the best for you, friend, speedy (yet comolete!) recovery and all.
