I think the most wrong thing about this is the disability thing.
In the US, you don't just get paid for disability. No. The closest thing is FMLA, which:
- is unpaid - only granted after 1 year of work, and - does not guarantee your position
This is employer-by-employer. There's no mandated minimum, however many large corporations will give you full benefits. Mine, for example, pays 100% of your salary and your stocks continue to vest during that time.
That's really nice of your company, but far from common. Amazon in particular only allows RSUs to continue vesting.
