I was let go in June and wonder if there's still potential to receive a pro-rated bonus for 2025. Manager discretion aside, is there a required minimum number of months of employment to be bonus eligible? TIA.

Department of Justice (DOJ): Report discrimination based on citizenship status,

such as an employer preferring H-1B workers

over equally qualified U.S. workers.

You can contact the Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) to report these issues.

Has anyone considered consulting an attorney? Not for wrongful termination. Just to review the numerous documents to make sure we're not getting sc--wed according to your state's laws.

If laid off, is the last paycheck 2 weeks after your last day on payroll?

Nothing new, but I am tired of dealing with this failing company, the layoffs of good employees, etc... so I'm looking for a new job at a growing company. I just want to make sure that I receive my LTI, deferred comp, pension credit, and 401k credit. Will working through 12/31 suffice or is it 2/28/26? Thanks!

For NJ workers 90 days under payroll, u like other states that are only 30 days. With the possibility to still apply internally within the company or search for another source of income while under payroll. Though tempting to look within, it is a hard choice since also being offered a severance package and expand your horizons elsewhere.

I got the call yesterday that my position was eliminated, but I haven't received and severance papers yet. My peers have received there papers. Is it because I'm out on STD?

How does it work for getting a new job? My last day at Verizon is in February. I don't want to wait until February to start looking I want to be able to look and possibly get a job. But if that happens before February do I have to tell Verizon? What is the ruling around this?

I have seen so many people on LinkedIn post that there in the market for a job and I kind of want to do the same thing but I don't want to jeopardize my severance.

Does anyone know when the severance payment is going to be made for folks in the class of 11/6?

More are being chopper soon and as a mgr seeing the intentional bs behind it, forced ratings , blocked promotions and much more, i’d love to help get any ball rolling for a lawsuit against this place

Does anyone know if our severance will be paid out in what format?

When some one gets RIF
do they lose all their unused Pto also?
Hope they get good severance package
What else they need to know

Developing a checklist of what to do pretty quick. Remember if you have Electronic Distribution set for W2 and 1095-C, you need to go to payroll site and select TAX FORMS and then opt (radio button at bottom of page) to Revoke Electronic Distribution of EACH Form.

Happy exiting. I am still sick and mad at my riff but trying to adjust.

I thought the report of a “leader” sacking a whole team on Webex was the most disturbing. Then the worst came in later, when I heard someone fainted after being told and had to have an ambulance called for them… this should have been handled much better.

How can you access your pay stubs once you’ve left Wells Fargo ?

Anyone else seeing the same? Maybe I am not looking at this the way I should. Please help.

Does anyone know what they use to determinate the sev package? Is it 2 weeks a year? Straight 6 month salary?? Etc

I want to milk this to the maximum. I earned it after 12 years here.

Hi everyone.

Current TSYS employee here. I am wondering if FIS rolls over your unused vacation days to the following year. What's the policy around it? Because currently in GPN, we have to use it in the same year or lose it.

Part of the 9/19 bloodbath and got laid off without notice.

Aren't we supposed to get 60 day notice due to the federal WARN act? WARN violations charge $500 per day of violation. We should be getting an extra $30,000 to our severance.

I’m in California and I thought we were supposed to get a 60 day notice vs a 30 day notice. Is this something I should reach out to HR?

What’s the severance package like? Enhanced and 3 weeks per year like it’s been in the past? Standard 2 weeks per year? Or is it really just 1 week per year like some rumors have mentioned?

Employed through 2/20 per NJ Law. Severance portal opens at 1ET. EPP extended 1yr though so...woohoo.

I wonder why Union isn’t involved in layoffs because every where I read if the company is restructuring even Union could be laid off! I safely assume August 2026 no more contracts for Union employees. Someone help me understand.

Emails started going to US employees, slack channels for US employees only started showing up.
They are protecting the offshore employees from seeing this ugly carnage here in the US.

US companies keep making billions here, yet they fire American workers and ship jobs overseas. Outsourcing is booming 980 billion this year and projected to grow to 1.6 trillion in 5 years, all these are US jobs getting outsourced while families here drown under rising healthcare and living costs.

WE NEED TO REACT

The HIRE Act was built to protect OUR jobs, but Congress lets it rot while CEOs like Hans and Dan cash bonuses. If we don’t support laws for U.S. workers, no one will.
Call your lawmakers, flood them with requests to support US workers and not to cave in to outsourcing lobbiest:
Contact your lawmakers

The HIRE act is stuck with this committee https://www.finance.senate.gov/about/membership

If you are let go, can you login?

USA should pass a law that says, any corporation laying off or firing anyone in USA who is under the age of 65 will get free paid Healthcare until they reach age 65 when Medicare kicks in.

Please take some time and review and send in especially if you are a frontline worker. Regardless of what happens on 11/20/2025 we should join. We have been getting raises less then inflation for years, our Rx coverages got way worse and our insurance increased by 30% of cost while removing almost all employee discounts from other companies. That whole new program actually cost more then retail in most cases. Providing awards points which are pennies on the dollar while PSO workers get weekends off but reps who have been performing well for over a decade can't see their families on the weekend.

This needs to stop now!

Has anyone else noticed “stock together” is now gone from “your total rewards” page?

Furthermore, according to the last non-voluntary severance documents, they paid you a prorated amount of your stock units.

That would equate to 83% of THIS years stock award you will get to keep. The rest for the following years will be forfeited.

Does it hit with the next pay period or does it usually come later?

If you're RIF'd on Thursday and are retirement eligible, do you still get retirement benefits?

Anyone know if personal hours are also paid out in addition to unused pto? In CA we get an annual payout in the spring so I am wondering if that would also be included in addition to our pto payout and severance (yes I know severance and pto are paid out separately)

Does anyone know if you can collect unemployment if you have been given severance?

If we’d been unionized, Verizon could not just blindsided 15,000 of us overnight. A union contract legally forces the company to negotiate the layoff process first, things like timelines, criteria, alternatives, notice periods, and protections. They can’t just drop the axe and walk away. It becomes a fight, not a surprise.

I'm talking about laptops, cell phones, etc.

Are laid off people's devices locked up and wiped out the day of? Or are laid off employees still considered employees until the end of the year with limited access to their devices?

How long does one have to be at COP to keep the companies invested portion of the 401k. I am still in college and currently interviewing for a role here.

I've heard it is 3 years but also 5 years? Which is it for full time?

Thank you in advance, I was too shy to ask the recruiter.

In 2024, Christian Klein, the CEO of SAP, received a total compensation package of approximately €19 million ($19.9 million), which included significant bonuses tied to the company's performance and share price increase. This amount marked a 165% increase from the previous year, reflecting the company's strong performance in the AI sector and overall growth.

One of the reasons given for regular layoffs is that there’s not enough money at SAP. The main reason for cutting benefits and MOVE SAP is that there isn’t enough money. And in March, there will be a lower salary appraisal for everyone because there isn’t enough money and because performance management makes it easy to pay less.

Despite this, the board is negotiating with the supervisory board about increasing their bonuses for 2025. To give you an example, CK is supposed to get €23 million for his “exceptional work” in 2025 which is a massive 200% increase compared to 2023.

This is despite the fact that the stock price is plummeting to less than €200 by the end of the year.

This is redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich. Call your supervisory board members and ask them to stop this. The board should get a pay cut and lower bonuses. And the money saved should be used to give salary appraisals to employees.

Do you think Billy is so out of touch that when he says things like ‘all in’, 'know your brief' and ‘lead from the front,’ he genuinely thinks we’re inspired and in awe of him… when really we’re just thinking ‘bellend'?

Same with old man JC and his 'cool' teeshirts. Cringe off the scale.

They're rich and won't give a sht what us minions think. It's like when an old person stinks, or has food on their face, you hope someone close to them tells them for their own sake.
