It's coming. They're going to do it. They're gonna say we are a co-located company first, and you have 6 months to get back into an office or you're considered voluntarily terminated.

Start saving now and always have a plan. Juan doesn't care about remote employees.

I have been carefully watching the status of RSUs due to being riffed. I have a screen shot of RSU units and estimated value at that time. The severance FAQ document Q.33 indicates that RSUs granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025 will pay out at their vested rate in 60-90 days after severance.

WARNING: What is not stated .... is that all your RSU's will be frozen at stock value as of 12/19/2025 (last day of employment). Meaning -- what is distributed (arbitrarily and in the last few weeks) is now where near the estimated vested rate per Fidelty in November or December.

The trend has been that the actual term date is the last day of the month following notification date.

Are they paying you through February, or was 1/29 the notification AND termination date?

You dont get it!

Even if its within your notice period.

(unless its a retirement)

Plan accordingly!

I am getting 22 weeks of severance and I don’t want to lose it. However I may have the ability to come back and am in interviews next week. My last day is 2-6-26. If I ask this new division to wait until the 7 days after I sign my severance to offer me the job, can I keep the severance? I need to work but don’t want to lose the money.

More people are starting to realize I wasn’t crazy for speaking up and exposing T-Mobile.

For those who asked to be laid off and got the severance package, can you share how to ask (even though it’s not allowed) and how long it took? Can anyone weigh in on the chances of this happening? Thanks.

Sorry for all the people who were laid off and didn’t want it but hope you’ll find another job which will probably pay better.

If you were laid off you are able to get stip as part of your severance. Is this still happening? Seems like they’re cutting back on everything financially

For those who were laid off, condolences. Don't sign anything without examining it carefully or, if you think appropriate, have an attorney review it. For those with long careers, please invoke the Rule of 70 when discussing your severance. It has to do with compensating tenured employees close to retirement age. Whether they honor it or not, it will give them something to consider if it keeps coming up. Be kind to yourselves. When reviewing your resume, make sure that it is in an ATS friendly format, this will make sure that any AI tools being used to filter resumes will see it and forward it for review. Apply for unemployment too. Remember, none of this was your fault. It will continue to happen to those still left on the field. It ain't over.

Anyone else seen this before? Regarding possible violation of employee rights in TRP 401k plan?

The fat cat CEO's are earning millions and billions in compensation, while the normal Joe who's making a meager salary gets laid off or hours/pay cut. Time for a universal revolt to overthrow the corrupt capitalist systems embedded through and within government corruption.

Please remember this if you’re second-guessing yourself. You were not fired. You were removed because of lousy leadership that can only make itself look good by getting rid of as many people as possible to make the numbers look better. That’s all this is about.

Planning on submitting two weeks notice on the 19th, which would mark my last day sometime in March, after bonus gets paid out. Assuming I don’t get let go immediately and work until my last day in March, would I still be paid out my bonus or is it possible that it wouldn’t get paid out? I don’t think they would let me go immediately due to KT sessions, but wasn’t sure how it would work

U.S. employers face numerous state-specific HR regulation changes in 2026. ADP's SPARK blog details 48 targeted shifts, from AI bias curbs to paid leave. California updates include sick leave amendments and pay data separation. Colorado and Illinois address AI bias, while Delaware and Maine launch paid leave programs. Multistate firms must proactively audit policies and upgrade technology for compliance.

Now they are talking about firing, not layoffs anymore. Wellsfargo is super toxic.

My non-working notice ends 2/6 but I noticed on upcoming pay slip dated for 1/30 they paid some of my PTO (60 hours). I had 100 hours left when I was displaced in December, and thought I'd accumulate January/February as well. Should I expect another PTO pay out or did something get miscalculated? Everything thread I've seen on this topic mentioned getting PTO payout after your non-working notice ends but I'm seeing it before my notice ends and it's short. Thanks in advance!

Two of my colleagues were affected few years ago and last year. They both got 2% per year they served in the company. It’s that still a thing or it’s changed because I see a lot of post here in the past regarding severance.

Does anyone know/can comment on whether you will be
"paid or unpaid if you are laidoff - unused accrued PTO in the USA" ?

I just got a communication (I was laid off June) that I will be receiving my bonus at a pro rated rate hence missing last 5 months Dam!!!

Aren’t we supposed to be paid for disaster relief if our store closed for the winter storm? Anyone know? Central NJ today
Our store is giving us the run around

They failed to pay my last salary. I left Dell on my own terms and they haven’t made the last salary payment. Never could I ever imagine I’d have to start a debt collection process against one of the richest companies in the world!

For those that are being WFRd, please check your payments and check that taxes are paid correctly.

I have another degree and certificate but don't wish to work as that for Optum....when they are considering layoffs so they look at your resume and try to offer another job to get out of paying you severance

Will post all other details after I receive the settlement.

The tri state era are allowed to wfh this week. If not, time to find a new job. Not worth it.

Has anyone sought legal advice regarding expats not receiving severance if they decline their job offer? It seems unreasonable to force someone to relocate to a new city. I know the company’s stance is assumed mobility but do external lawyers agree with that?

O lost the lawsuit & as EX CA based employee in Support / DEV, I got a surprise check for $$$. Do check your Mail & update if you got a check

What’s the deal with retail branches with this winter storm. I’m in an area that got over 12” of snow. And then freezing rain on top of it. Are they going to make us to go in? Who is coming out of their houses in this subzero weather to the branch?

Because Amazon has weak management and poor hiring practices. Extra points for the silent firing of disabled employees, denying them appropriate work from home accommodations.

I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but with the job market the way it is right now, it isn’t unrealistic to expect that people laid off today won’t find new positions anytime soon. If we’re being kicked to the curb, the least they could do is provide a better safety net.

I was moved to another company on paper but still do the same job for the original company, report to the same managers, use the same systems, and was told this affects severance and unemployment.

So if you have frontier Internet and Verizon wireless, and you are an employee..you are excluded from discount.

Thanks..fking aholes.

How do they communicate the severance agreement? Personal email or what? I know my coworker was laid off in November and lost immediate access to computer. So how do they communicate the info?

I have thought about this. If I get the layoff call, I will not be speaking on the call, I will type in the chat only. I am not giving them that final satisfaction of hearing my voice ever again or any of my emotions.

Can someone explain the differences in what you are offered if you take the VRP vs what you get if laid off?

Has anyone heard if there will be an option to express interest again to leave with severance anytime soon? That is with 2 weeks for every year of service?

Salary workers…. Did you get your post increase in January 1st?
WA state minimum wage went up meaning the minimum a salary worker can make in WA state as of Jan 1 2026 raised to $80,168.40 annually. It’s weird the focus was on layoffs and we didn’t get our increase
I will be contacting a lawyer and LNI

Any announcements? What is the severance like if let go?

Former TikTok content moderators in the UK are suing the company. They allege TikTok engaged in union busting tactics. Layoffs reportedly occurred just before a scheduled union vote. TikTok denies these claims, citing AI-driven restructuring for efficiency. The lawsuit highlights tensions over tech worker protections and automation.

This week it is official, I will be unemployed for the first time in my life. I've sent out a few applications but I'm nervous. December crew- how did the timing work for vacation payouts and severance, have you gotten your money yet?
