Severance Negotiation - Anyone use a lawyer?

Thinking about retaining an employment attorney to look over my layoff paperwork and see if there is any room to negotiate a better severance package.

If you've used a lawyer for this, how did it go? Did the company offer more, or did you end up paying legal fees out of pocket for no change? Any advice or experiences would be highly appreciated.


I know this might get me some pushback, but I'll say it anyway

I actually enjoy working here. The pay isn't incredible but it's fine. The work keeps me interested, and the people on my team make the day go by faster. So I'm genuinely worried about getting laid off. I don't want to start over. I don't want to leave this team. And yes, I know I'm in the minority, but that's my take.

The final decision

Fideliscare of NJ. Care Management. If we do not apply for VSP, come end of July and they need to layoff, who makes the decision about who will be layed off? Does the direct supervisor have input? What about the manager?

Who makes the final decision and do they get additional input from anyone?


They can’t even do layoffs properly!

Our leadership is so inept, they can’t even do layoffs properly!

If they did a large round of layoffs, it would make the news and they would get a temporary boost to the stock price. They could then reassure the remaining workforce that they’re done with layoffs for at least a year so everyone can focus on their work.

These seemingly random mini layoffs will hurt productivity bigly. They may be doing to avoid filing WARN but it’s still a bad strategy.

Waiting Game!

While I have survived tons of RIFs, I have never seen this company or the company I came from when we merged, offer a VSP. I’m tired. I’m sick. I am ready to leave so I applied.

Anyone else did? Yes? No? Considering? Thoughts or theories about this? Share it!!


Verizon / Frontier - RIF them all in Wisconsin

Verizon / Frontier - RIF them all in Wisconsin

We are a customer. No one an employee.

Leadership is asleep. Frontier in our area has always been a nightmare to work with. Now with it being Verizon, it is worse.
It is as though they are driving it into the ground, so that long-time Verizon leadership can be recognized for turning things around.
For decades, at least three times a year, phone lines and DSL break. Takes Frontier days to respond.
In the latest episode of "i need things fixed", Frontier constantly blamed the customer for every little thing. Field tech went to the wrong address.
Put a note on the door saying that they missed us. 4:55pm.. 5 min before their shift ended. Wanted to blame the customer again. Excuse after excuse for why
they are unable to resolve the issue.

For years we have asked Frontier to visit the property to see what we were up against. No.
We have asked for assistance with running new lines to a new building. No.
We have asked for the old copper in the ground to be grounded or replaced. No.

Charter has responded. The entire area will have true fiber fed high-speed internet by Fall 2026.
It did take a few phone calls to get to the Engineering department, but there has been awesome communication between us and them on our needs.
Actively communicating with us on which buildings need what.
We are actively working with them to build out a lake community of 300 homes where Frontier refuses and says DSL is just fine.

Get rid of the weakest links and replace leadership up here with customer focused engineers who know what it takes to get things done.

Customers are investors too!

90 Day WARN Period

The documentation says that I will notify Citi if I find a new job during notice period, and that they will pay the balance in a lump sum. Does that basically mean you get the balance of what is left of the 90 Days' notice period, but you lose benefits as well as PTO accrual from the termination date that you give them?

Thanks


So was the option to buy 10 days leave restored or not?

Back in November last year, in UK at least, without any warning the number of days of additional annual leave was reduced from 10 to 5. We were told at the time it was a mistake and when DXC Select reopened in the summer you could buy the extra 5, to restore normality.
Did that happen? Or did DXC management mislead again?
(I'm only curious as I got redundancy a few weeks ago)
