You have a job. They don’t. They get severance. You don’t. Seems fair to me.

Same thing happened to me, OP, except I didn't quit, they just said I didn't qualify because I was never formally working after my maternity leave... I would have been if they didn't fire me. Also- I took online classes so I wouldn't lose funding because of my pregnancy, but because they were online they didn't count for my degree. The whole school went online right before my baby was born. I could have already graduated but I didn't because of the online courses. I feel for your FML.

Timing is everything. But life is a b*tch.

Something similar happened to me at an insurance company I worked for. I found a much better job and gave one week's notice. A week after I left, everybody got a bonus.

This happened to a colleague at a place we both worked she found a new job before redundancies were in the works and had to work out her resignation while the rest of us took redundancy. She had the better deal as she had a job and security at the end of the day

You...have a job though, you are only entitled to those benefits if you didn't.
