Bombshell :( long post
Well my fiance works at John Deere and they lay off a hundred people or so for 4 months every year with benefits and unemployment. No big deal right?
Wrong.
Because of a farmers bill that was passed JD lost a ton if money and are firing over a thousand people.. my fiance included. I'm 8 months pregnant, work at home and feel like the world just collapsed around me. This is the worst timing possible and ts not fair!
To make matters worse my fiance is thinking of reenlisting into the army again and he just finished his 6 year run!! If he reenlists he will be up for deployment next year.. :( I know its selfish but I can't handle raising a baby on my own. I need him! He only wants to sign up again because he doesn't want to do another union job. :(((
I'm so frustrated! Why don't they have a law that new parents or expecting parents can't be fired!?

Ugh thank you! I just think stress is clouding his judgement right now.. military is not the option right now lol.
He needs to not be so stubborn. A job is a job and if he has the ability to move up in the company that's great! I think that's a far better option than going back to the army and not seeing your family.
I know it wouldn't be fair for that law. Just frustrated is all.
He is a mechanic but won't work in a shop unless its his dads and his dad won't pay him proper just under the table.
I talked to his brother in law who is trying to talk my fiance into joining him at his company. They will train him and everything but he is hesitating because he won't be making 25$ an hour right off the bat. I want to smack him.

I'm very sorry to heat about your husbands job :-( that's a lot of unnecessary stress for you.... However if they had a law that parents or expecting parents can't be fired that'd be both discrimination and people would constantly be having babies just to keep their jobs. Is there anything else he can do besides the army? Does he have a degree?
