THEORETICAL SITUATION: You're in NJ and were given 90 days notice; however, you have another job lined up to start well before then. According to the "Mgmt Severance Program FAQ" doc:

"If you seek to separate from the company prior to the last day of employment date set forth in your Notification letter and still remain eligible for severance, you will need to complete and submit a valid Declination of Notification Period form, which would need to be approved by the appropriate parties at the company."

QUESTION: Has anyone attempted this or have any insight as to whether or not this request is likely to be approved/denied?

Thanks!

For those off payroll on 12/19, any unused vacation time will be paid out tomorrow, 1/2. You can view the total amount on the "current paycheck" by visiting workhistory.verizon.com

Does health insurance end on the date of your termination?

Received final paycheck as non-working employee on 12/26 that also included unpaid PTO. When will the first severance pay date be in 2026? Will it be on 1/2 or 1/16?

I can no longer access the Severance Portal from my personal computer following my last day worked (it worked prior to 12/19). It also won’t let me reset my password. I sent an email to the address I located with no response as of yet. We’re supposed to have access to it for 6 months. Is anyone else who was impacted also experiencing this? If so, any tips on how to get access again?

Thoughts on the 1199SEIU union? Can it save jobs from being outsourced or is it too late?

Do I have to pay the money back before the time I agreed to paid the loan back ?

I am trying to sign and it says invalid agreement id. How do i go about it? I thought we had 45 days from last day on payroll.

If DXC gets sold or has to declare chapter 11. You will get close to nothing. We just had a colleague laid off after 25 plus years and only got 15 weeks (based in US) For the love of whatever you believe in, read the terms for YOUR contract and location. I'm all for sitting around and doing nothing (it's quite nice) but look for an exit while you can so you are not blindsided. Leaving on your own terms is much nicer.

TUPE a legal framework in the UK and Ireland that protects employees' rights when their business or part of a business is transferred to a new owner (like in a merger, acquisition, or outsourcing). It ensures employees automatically move to the new employer with their existing terms, conditions, and continuity of service, preventing dismissal just because of the transfer and maintaining their benefits.

Is there a way to access workday without having to sign in on my work laptop? It’s so inconvenient having to do that just to go on workday. I’d assume that we’re allowed to access our paystubs on personal devices on our personal devices.

When does Wells Fargo pay out unused PTO for those who were laid off and their severance period ends today?

How long does it take to get the actual severance payout, once you accept the agreement? I was RIF'd in September, received and signed the agreement at the beginning of December but there's no information on when to expect the payout

For those of you that were laid off, or left, after age 55, does the 401k plan offer partial distribution or only lump sum? The SPD doesn't mention. Fidelity states partial is allowed, but says it can't provide documentation since it "could" change.

First, I asked my supervisor and HR and no clear answer so I am asking here as many of you got severance. Does the payment come on normal pay cycle (6th, 21st), I was surplused in November and no check yet, I got denied unemployment because Company listed I got severance but nothing yet, bad time of year to have no pay, severance would help, job searching tough. Appreciate any input

In a comment on a post of November 20th "Layoffs started in Toronto office...", somebody wrote that they were informed on November 18th about the termination on January 23rd, and that the package was "not like old times". Any information on the new terms of the package?

Does anyone know when we are closed the next two weeks? If we are being asked to work do we get overtime pay or 2x for a holiday week? I asked my manager but didn’t get any response. I want to work OT as I could use the extra cash and it seems like this would be double pay. Can anyone tell me what the policy is?

These clowns they hire and slap the title as Human Resources are walking lawsuits. Their “investigations” are actually workplace harassment. There is no statute of limitations when it is in-going. Next time they say “we conducted an investigation” notate who said it and keep all documents. They are admitting to harassment.

When HR decides to stalk you, regardless if it’s at their business locations at an event, you can sue. Know your rights. They will disguise it as their “investigation.”
Document everything-who, what, when, where, how. Keep a journal.
Yes, you can sue your employer for emotional distress, but it's complex and usually requires linking it to illegal actions like discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, or proving your employer's extreme/outrageous conduct caused severe harm, often needing a physical manifestation or medical documentation of the distress (anxiety, depression, etc.). General work stress isn't usually enough; you need to show your employer's specific, unlawful behavior (e.g., racial harassment, wrongful termination) directly caused severe mental or physical symptoms, making legal help essential.
Contact the EEOC
Key Deadlines for Workplace Claims (EEOC)
Federal Standard: You have 180 days from the last act of harassment to file a charge with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission).
Extended Deadline: This extends to 300 days if your state or locality has its own anti-discrimination law and agency.
Ongoing Harassment: For continuous stalking, the clock starts from the last incident, allowing you to include earlier events in your complaint.
After EEOC: Once you receive a "Right to Sue" letter from the EEOC, you typically have 90 days to file a lawsuit in federal court.

I got laid off and was wondering if I will have to pay the full amount after the 60 days.

I signed the documents and got confirmation, but haven't heard anything since.

What is the new sick time policy going into effect in 2026?

I know I saw it posted on here before can someone remind me what the password is? Is it your last name + birthdate?

I think you get your full bonus. I hear also severance is only 2 weeks/year of employment? What all makes up the package?

Everyone knows they are making up bogus performance reviews and attempting to fire people with little to no severance based on said bogus reviews. I no longer work there but still in close contact with many. I was told by legal counsel the made up bogus reviews themselves while beyond unethical, not technically illegal. I would be curious if anyone else has had success legally fighting them on that basis alone? Outside of my curiosity, any information may help others. I went after them based on protected class issues that are illegal - discrimination, retaliation, etc. That worked. They wrote me a check for a year within 2 months. They caved easily. No effective internal counsel whatsoever. They were all fired too so they farm out to junior staff at Reed Smith. The whole thing is disgusting but nothing we can do to change it other than keeping one another informed. Maybe will change someday when legal action is so frequent becomes untenable for them but don’t hold your breath for now. To all of my friends, former colleagues, and to those of you I don’t know who still work there, I sincerely wish you all the best.

Hi everyone, do you know when they give out 2025 bonus? Severance package mentioned that WFR people eligible for bonus.

Was part of the layoff and got the minimum 4 weeks severance. My final paycheck was today but it was a few hundred short than usual. With my understanding I thought 4 weeks severance meant 2 full pay periods.

Am I misunderstanding? This is how I had it in my notes:

Separation date is 11/12 and severance kicks in 11/13.

(I get early direct deposit 1 day early)

• Paycheck 11/5/25 - for pay period 10/20 - 11/2
• Paycheck 11/10/25 - for pay period 11/3 - 11/16, received this one early due final paycheck local regulations
• Paycheck 12/3/25 - for pay period 11/17 - 11/30, first 2 weeks of severance
• Paycheck 12/17/25 today - for pay period 12/1 - 12/14, last 2 weeks of severance

I signed my papers November 7 and still haven’t received my severance payment. It’s past the 7 day revocation period and two pay cycles. Has anyone received their severance payment?

Each state should have this dept to file disputes against this place for discrimination. Everyone being fired for random things needs to file and you only have a certain period of time to do so. This place has become so toxic and to dig up reasons to mark people low on performance, change ratings after direct mgrs enter them or even force wfh then use it against you needs to end. Make noise people including contact media, lawyers and anyone else you can

Long standing BNY employee here with unvested RSUs maturing over 4 years running into $200K.

Now concerned that my time is up. Is there any truth to the rumor that they are canceling RSUs if you are fired?

AIG claims is a complete sweatshop. The senior VP and the VP under him are as toxic. Steer clear. They say they have a commitment to a field claims team and Friday they just announced they're taking all the cars away from the field claims team. How do you say you have a commitment to a field claims team and then take away the cars and not give a car allowance to the field claims team. As soon as the STI bonuses paid at the end of February the entire field claims team is gone.

For those who have questions or wondered about your coworkers in the Philippines : well here is some info. Once they are hired it is near impossible to fire them. They have extreme rights. The country is employee friendly so if a company wants to terminate them they have so many steps . First you have tell them that they have commited employment violation in writing , than they have to be given advisement letter which than they have to respond. Than after that there are all kinds of administrative hurdles and if you are successful they are than paid severance of half their yearly salary for each year they have been there . So if 15 years than half their salary for each year they have been there and apparently fraud is rampant in the call centers with tons of teams doing all kind of financial fraud with the manager and the teams manipulating the incentive with some teams making up to 5000 a month each in pay and no one is able to catch them. They lose millions to this fraud.

After Pabst Brewing Co. laid off as many as 70 employees, the San Antonio company is now facing a potential federal class-action lawsuit.

Heads up. If you're in a state that makes companies pay PTO after termination, look at your final check.

They paid roughly 1/10th my actual PTO and calculated the hours wrong.

Email them now before you sign any severance.

I had 5 RSUs scheduled to vest today. When I checked my account there are no pending transactions and now the next transaction is scheduled for March of next year. Is this happening for anyone else?
