#equipment

What does fidelity care about and not care about as far as giving back equipment? I’m hoping I can keep the monitors, docking station and webcam but obviously won’t steal them. According to the fid central site if equipment is older than they like we can keep it but it doesn’t specify. Anyone know?

What equipment do we return upon resignation? I assume just laptop and charger, but if there are other things, please let me know.

I work for Q, but I hate working here enough to buy its competitor's flagship.

The document says only laptop, power adapter, and Yubi keys need to be returned. Nothing else, right?

My last day was April 10. Should I expect it in about a week? 2 weeks?

In email or mail?

My last day at BNY was a few weeks ago. What would happen if I don’t return a computer monitor that I’ve used for wfh?

For context- they reached out shortly before my last day requesting my address to send a box to return the monitor. I gave my address and had told them they’ll also need to send someone to pick it up. I never heard back and the box recently arrived. I have no intention of physically carrying the box to a local shipping location.

So we have just added to our Crown lifts devices that will not allow you to exceed 6 mph and 4 going in reverse! When approaching something the forklift reduces to 1.5 mph... this is such a terrible idea. Its because people up top have no idea how things really work in a club!

If I take PTO leading up to my last day and return my badge, laptop, and other equipment before that PTO starts, will I still be paid for those PTO days, or would my access be deactivated immediately and my pay stop at that point?

resign from your boring Oracle jobs and pack it all up and move yourself to West Virginia and apply to Coal miners' jobs there. Every coal mine is West Virginia is hiring coal miners right now. These jobs pay high wages and offer excellent benefits, and you can work all the overtime you want to work. You get to work with some pretty cool equipment as a coal miner. The only problem is you have to pass a mandatory and random dr-g tests. Let's face the music about that because a lot of you at Oracle, especially Gen Z's aren't going to pass a dr-g test even if you are d-mb enough to try and fake it.

Since FDS can't manage asset recovery for sht I am grateful for the spanking new machine. Your fault for not locking the BIOS ye tools

Apparently Intel is not following high NA anymore. What a waste of 300m$ equipments

Wondering if I can simply drop it off at Tech stop.

Just ripped my Honeywell thermostat off the wall. Dead on the coldest night of the year. Thanks for nothing

These folks have the ba--s to send me an email telling me they were sending a box for IT equipment. I gave my stuff to a senior manager after my RIF meeting. I have been a model employee, a PEAK Achievement winner, and asked for this stuff a week later. These people are heartless.

soooo what is happening in other districts with DEG technicians and I and R techs!??? we have one job per day if we are lucky, DEG techs are same very slow just taking down old equipment!
Don't get me started on useless air pressure ho-s, all they do all day is sit around in different COs waiting for lunch to see where the specials are!
Lots of us waiting for payout but is anything happening in district 3,9,6?

Anyone else experiencing the delays in receiving the equipment return kit? I was told it would not impact the severance if I'm unable to return the equipment until early January. My last day is today.

As a stranger things fan it’s awesome to work in the COs and see all the equipment from the EIGHTIES still in place and running. I can imagine how cool it must have been to be alive in that time and how shiny that SLC-96/DMS-100 was back then. As an employee, however, it’s completely embarrassing that these machines are still standing in a Fortune 100 multi billion dollar company. But hey, at least I get to work in a museum every day, pretty cool stuff.

Where or how do we return our laptops? Do we initiate it or does our manager?

Or, what monitors do you guys use at home? Any idea what monitors the campus at Frisco uses?

Will employees be expected to turn in concession phones and laptops/computers/monitors, etc? They can't seriously expect 15k+ employees to return equipment. Is there a way to negotiate keeping them? What happens in the event you don't send it back?

Any one have the scoop on why there are hundreds and hundreds of locomotives stored at Donkey Creek Wyoming and Guernsey Wyoming? Why don't they refurbish them, sell them off to another country's railroad, or scrap them out? Seems like the biggest waste i've ever seen!

Hi! I found my old laptop from this company laying around in the basement. What should I do with it? I'm sure they've written it off as a loss at this point, but not sure what else I can do with it either. It's company locked but working just fine.

Got the severance payment. What if I don't return the laptop & keep it? Can they come after me? Lets just say its not a brick/locked out.

My laptop is so slow ALL THE TIME and WF makes it so difficult to get a new or better one. What laptop model do you have and does it work? Any tips?

Sorry I didn't post this before more layoffs. While your manager is giving you the news, disconnect immediately from the internet. They can't scramble your laptop if they can't get to it. I was laid off on September 3rd. I've had access to my files all this time. I just got my box, so I'll go on the internet now and let them scramble it.

Need some help. I was part of the RIF earlier this month. Given WARN, my last day is Nov 3. However, I got the equipment return box this week. Am I supposed to return the equipment now (within 5 days) or wait until Nov 3rd ? I have no use for the laptop but since I am still on the payroll (albeit garden leave) until Nov3 , I wasn’t sure if I should return things now.

Ruh-Roh! Who knew leasing could be so complicated?

“The lessees signed on to the deals between August 2022 and December 2023 in exchange for cash rebates that Xerox characterized as kickbacks, the complaint said. Xerox said if it had known about the rebates, it would not have paid the invoices.“

From all the peons suffering through the NALI process, release the darn Equipment Move Schedule already!

We know you have it.

My “new” work issued dell laptop is quite the chunker and is as thick as two iPhones. At least I get a good workout carrying it to my ONSITE job daily! Plenty of blue screens too, wonder if it’s refurbished. Oh and it opens like a noodle too

They are ending support for the current corp phones soon. So if you have an iPhone 10, it’s no longer supported. Apple is releasing the iPhone 16 in a few days. But what does EM offer? Yup, an iPhone 14. Why can’t IT or Corporate Procurement negotiate better deals to allow for better dates equipment? Over time, the Corp is both wasting money on upgraded phones and also wasting employees time with subpar equipment. Make it make sense!

I am not sure how it is in your region, but we are disappointed that first time ever, we are receiving DELL laptops as a part of the refresh cycle instead of Lenovo.
Maybe some in this forum folks have insights into what may be the reason.

If you are impacted, what are the things you can/should ask for except for the severance? Outplacement support? Therapy? Keeping equipment? What? I'm sure there are things and resources that are available but you have to know what to ask for.

I'm EMEA based, but surely some of these are global as well. Let me know! When/if I'm impacted I want to make sure I drain every single resource along the way.
