Getting laid off is one of those life events that can really throw you for a loop. It can leave you feeling blindsided, stressed, and wondering what you're supposed to do next. In this episode of Grown Up Stuff: How to Adult, Matt and Lea sit down with employment attorney Paige Sparks to answer all the questions that start racing through your head after a job loss: Do I get severance? Can I collect unemployment? What happens to my health insurance? And how do I know if my employer crossed a legal line? Paige walks us through the practical stuff every adult should know, including severance agreements, COBRA, unemployment benefits, PTO payouts, and what to do with your 401(k). We also talk about the emotional side of being laid off: how to deal with the shock, avoid spiraling, stay motivated during a job search, and talk about your layoff in future interviews without feeling awkward or ashamed. Whether you've just been laid off, you're worried it could happen, or you simply want to be prepared for one of life's less-fun surprises, this episode is packed with straightforward advice to help you protect yourself, make a plan, and move forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When neurodivergence isn't properly understood at work, even highly capable people can end up struggling without the right support. In this episode, Michaela Thomas is joined by employment lawyer Jodie Hill, founder of Thrive Law, to explore reasonable adjustments, psychological safety, and how employers can better support neurodivergent staff to thrive. Drawing on both legal and psychological perspectives — from Jodie Hill's work in employment law and Michaela's work delivering neurodivergence training and compassionate leadership development — they explore what happens when capacity is mistaken for capability, and how to build compassionate, psychologically safe and neuroinclusive workplaces where people don't just cope, but truly flourish. In this episode, they cover: * the difference between capability and capacity * what reasonable adjustments really mean in practice * why unsupported neurodivergence can look like underperformance * the role of psychological safety in disclosure and support * common mistakes employers make * when a role may be the wrong fit and how to handle that with compassion and lawfulness A powerful conversation for both employees and employers, especially during Neurodiversity Celebration Week. If your organisation is looking to better support neurodivergent staff, Michaela delivers psychological neurodiversity training, leadership development, and culture change programmes through all-staff training and executive coaching.   Read more on www.thethomasconnection.co.uk  To work with Jodie and her team at Thrive Law, head to www.thrivelaw.co.uk  If this episode resonates, do share it with someone navigating neurodiversity at work.

Workers are now able to speak freely about their salaries, and it's got experts speculating about what this means for Kiwis. The House passed a new law last night preventing employers from taking legal action against workers talking about their pay. The bill, introduced by Labour's Camilla Belich, essentially renders pay secrecy clauses unenforceable. Employment lawyer Jordan Boyle says New Zealand already has a culture of keeping pay private. "People may feel a little bit more freedom to ask, but you don't have to share. People may choose to share, employers may face some difficult conversations."

Patrick Dolan, Employment Lawyer at Conti & Dolan, joins Jon Hansen, filling in for Lisa Dent, to discuss employment law, listener questions, and rehashing their discussion about a recent memo sent to employees from the AT&T CEO.

New guidance from Attorney General Bondi urges federal funding recipients to reassess DEI programs to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws. This memo highlights actions deemed “unlawful DEI,” including race-based scholarships, preferential hiring, and misapplied “neutral” criteria. What This Means for Employers: Federal consequences: Noncompliance risks include funding revocation or False Claims Act liability. Beyond federal funding: Private employers should also review DEI policies for legal risks. Focused best practices: Ensure inclusive environments, prioritize skills and qualifications, and eliminate demographic-driven criteria.

“Every employment case is a story about betrayal,” says George Moschopoulos, who recently convinced jurors that the Los Angeles Unified School District failed to work in good faith to find his disabled client another role in the organization. Host Dan Ambrose unpacks the case, from the six-figure pretrial offer to the juror who compelled the team to pivot their strategy to the $3 million verdict.

Just goes to show how little I knew.”George characterizes every employment case as a story of betrayal: the trusted relationship intentionally broken for the wrong reasons.George's first trial victory came in a disability discrimination case he thought was hopeless until discovering a smoking-gun email that advised the employer to "delete this email, smiley face."George credits TLU bootcamps for helping him change tactics, from focusing on "selling the bad" (victim suffering) to "selling the glad" (client resilience and recovery).In unpacking his recent victory on behalf of an injured school safety officer, George explains how he reframed the case after jury selection, when a 30-year district employee described school safety officers' physical intervention duties.
