    I know a guy who got fired a month after coming back from parental leave for twins.

    HR doesn’t care if they’ve got some documented reason, which is they’ve already scheduled to firing you, they do.

      A man coming back from parental leave doesn’t sound like a protected class to me, unlike being a pregnant woman who is protected by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in the United States.

      Also, I’m not saying it’s a surefire guarantee. The important part is you don’t have to be the fastest runner when the wolf is hungry, you just have to run faster than the guy next to you.
