#severance

Five years added to service and age. The company has come to the conclusion that senior CWA techs will not leave without an enhanced offer. Minor short term hit and they’ll basically be free of a Union workforce going forward.

People being laid off in Freising. Are you negotiating or accepting the offer?
I got 2 months of severance, not enough to wait for unemployment benefits.
If we don't accept can they fire us?

When organizations face the difficult decision of reducing headcount, it’s important to balance business needs with employee well-being. Instead of removing people randomly, one approach could be to create a “wishlist” where employees can voluntarily express interest in leaving.

This method allows:
• Employees who are ready for their next chapter to exit with dignity.
• Critical roles and talent to be retained for business continuity.
• The process to feel more transparent and humane, reducing uncertainty and anxiety.

Such an approach acknowledges that some team members may already be considering new opportunities, while others are deeply committed to staying. By aligning both organizational and individual needs, Dell can manage necessary changes with empathy and fairness.

Paying for 60 days instead of giving 60 days’ advance written notice

Employers must provide at least 60 days’ written notice; payment in a 60 day period after the fact does not substitute for notice.

I am getting only 12 weeks of severance for 23 years of work. The 12 weeks basically add up to my salary for the remainder of the year. No f..king appreciation for my years of service! I am talking to a lawyer before signing this!

Medical and dental good until Halloween. No more contributions to HSA.

I thought I read we should get 2 weeks for every year. So I thought I should be getting 46 weeks of severance pay. Not 12 or 3 months!

I am definitely one upset former employee who feels completely disrespected and given no empathy from HCSC!

It’s beyond frustrating to watch how remote employees — many of whom have dedicated years to this company — are being slowly frozen out. If leadership has already decided that remote workers outside a few select hubs have no future here, the right thing to do is be transparent and offer severance, not string people along with empty promises and blocked opportunities.

They’ve dismantled Tech Risk under the guise of org consolidation and pushed everything into the new Corporate Functions structure. Fine. But now, they’re openly saying they’ll only hire into this “new” org if you’re located in Minneapolis, Charlotte, or New York. Translation: if you’re not physically near a hub, your career progression stops here — and you can’t even apply for internal roles.

No options. No support. Just silence.

The message is loud and clear — and it’s incredibly disrespectful to the people who’ve been loyal through tough times, reorgs, and chaos. If you’re going to treat remote employees like they don’t exist, at least have the decency to let them go with dignity — not hang them out to dry while pretending everything’s business as usual.

Workforce reductions and acquisition exits come as IT demand softens; TCS also cut staff amid industry-wide caution earlier.

"The business optimization program has two parts. One related to rapid talent rotation that Julie mentioned, which reflects severance associated with headcount reductions that we are making in a compressed timeline, and second, related to the divestiture of two acquisitions that are no longer aligned with our strategic priorities," CFO Angie Park added.

Acquisition Pullbacks:

Messaging: "didn't align with our strategic priorities"

"Accenture also announced plans to exit certain non-core businesses and divest assets worth $865 million as part of its ongoing portfolio optimization strategy. The move is aimed at reallocating resources toward higher-growth areas, particularly AI, digital services, and cloud-driven initiatives, enabling the company to streamline operations while strengthening its focus on emerging technologies."

I was trying to get clarifications on detail breakup of Severance Pay Formula from HR. Pointed to Non VPN Access: [External Ask HR Portal]- https://hrhelp.custhelp.com/

Once I get the detail breakup of unused vacation, formula used for final payout, I will fight for a few days

Please bookmark & that will save you 3 days for a normal reply from HR Via E-Mail

The package states #14 that you will not receive severance until company assets are returned, and it also states that you will receive the box to return within 3 weeks AFTER your separation. That means no payout for 3-5 weeks? receive box, ship back, Oracle tracks and then release of Severance.
Are you ready for no $$ for that long? I wasnt.

For those officially let go, please confirm or share if you’ve received official promised email (assuming it’s Docusign) and if it includes list of those titles let go.

Obviously they’re working around WARN in the U.S. but any idea? When Lehi was hit you could put info together from severance sheets. Wondering how concerned remaining employees should be. And investors.

Anyone else still waiting for the severance letter? HR told us that they would send them to a personal email today.

Rumors flying all day. Does anyone have information regarding EUC terms?

For those expecting a golden parachute, consider this a warning: the bank does not want to pay severance. They already stretched funding for layoffs this year, and the idea of generous packages next year is a myth.

What you will likely see instead is a rise in “inconsistently meets” ratings or worse. If you miss your 4x8 schedule targets or fail to stay “in the zone” with daily activity metrics, don’t assume it will be overlooked. Ignore this at your own risk.

The system is designed to keep you boxed in. Step the wrong way and you may quickly find yourself on a PIP and out the door. This isn’t about development—it’s about attrition. They don’t need to force you out if the conditions drive you to quit on your own.

And don’t make the mistake others have made by filing complaints during leave—you risk being terminated for cause. Right now, management is looking for any excuse to cut costs.

That’s the reality. Take it seriously.

Will someone in the know please share if a VSP is planned and what the terms would likely be? I've seen a few comments that suggest one is coming.

I'm not really looking for opinions but for someone who knows to share.

Is it the usual deal, or have there been any changes?

Am I crazy for hoping to get a call? That 60 days sounds nice and the way they’re moving makes it feel like whoever is left will be worked to the bone.

What happens if you were offered the ERP but declined it?

Did you already sign the severance agreement?

Companies like Oracle are expected to prepare employees for future technologies? Were there any yearly training plan offered?

I would have hoped there were some future technologies or some kind of training offered for any employees to make them get ready for internal or external positions.

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you feel like it might be the right time for the company to offer management employees with pensions a retirement package?

With everything changing so quickly in the business and with fewer people coming in under the old pension structure, it feels like it could make sense for AT&T to consider giving us that option. For some, it could be the opportunity to retire earlier. For others, it could open the door for fresh talent and new ideas.

Curious how you all see it—would you take it if they offered? Or do you think it’s better to wait it out?

There has not been any massive layoff at Ansys. Did Synopsis past layoffs offer severance packages?

Severance packages updated for 2025, specific for customer care line of business (coaches/TM/ up to directors) in T-Nation. (Magenta Pulse)

to those LRed (positions eliminated), if they go to interview and accept job offer before Oct 13. will they lose the package?

Are separation packages still being used within the bank?
For the first time I got a dos-not-meet rating during my mid-year review, thinking they are preparing for a layoff without the package - what do oyu think?
Is that true that when you get DOES-NOT-MEET - you are not eligible for a PACKAGE...

I'm eng4 level management, what does the severance package look like? I'll be exiting in 8 months at any rate, but I cannot find any detail on Comcast severance. Yes, I will be leaving voluntarily, but I would prefer a layoff.

Today, myself and several of my colleagues in Learning and development were laid off in a round of “reorg.” This was the third reorg in 3 years. They had announced a reorg over a month ago, but when executives were asked about layoffs during a meeting, they evaded the question. Today, they also refused to disclose how many people were affected.

This company is absurd. Every October, they conduct layoffs. The executives should be the ones laid off.

Im still waiting to hear about the severance package. Anyone know?

Any one received any email regarding separation/last day today?

Me and a few others I know were offered voluntary exit packages. This is likely a precursor to layoffs in a few months or early 2026

• The last time P&G did a major restructuring, most of the jobs reductions were buyouts. Likely targets: Generation X, those born between 1965 and 1980.
• So far, P&G has indicated it wants to make trims. Its last round of cuts started small but then got deeper after earlier rounds failed to achieve a turnaround.
• Further change will likely occur at the top with a new incoming CEO and other management shifts.
• The company said some brands might go, but it's not clear how many or which ones.

I'm sorry, but I'm tired and I want out - and I want them to pay me to leave. I've given enough to this place to walk away with nothing.

What's the package offered if one fails documented coaching before being put on PIP officially? Is it possible to negotiate/extend the last day of employment on paper?

If we resign during coaching period, is it considered as termination?

Hi, does Nike provide any resume or other outplacement support?

I was displaced, filed an ER grievance, and was then ultimately terminated after my Notice Period ended in a clear case of retaliation. While I'm pursuing legal action, trying to ascertain if the bank can now cut off my severance, benefits, damage my employment record etc. I'll know soon enough and will address accordingly, just curious if anyone has a definitive answer.

I’m being displaced in October. And then I’ll have severance for most of next year. Can I enroll in a flexible spending account for 2026?

Let’s say that you are a Phase 2 employee who gets blindsided jn November and laid off. Do you get severence as well? Or just nothing, but the ability to collect unemployment.

Seems kind of unfair to not allow an early option to quit and take the severence pay because you are remote. You would hope they would not lay off any remote workers in November but from what I understand everyone in the entire company is vulnerable on November 11.

With a decent severance to bridge me over, I’d take it. I’ve had enough of this company. After some time here you eventually hit a wall without even realizing it, and there’s no real path forward after that. The job market isn’t great right now, but staying here doesn’t feel like much of a boon anymore. Whatever the rumors turn out to be, I truly hope those who need the job get to keep it. But for me, walking away and leaving this place in the rearview would be a relief.

All these awards VH receives and yet the stock sits in the mid 40's. When Oxy is sold and she rides away with her ridiculous executive severance package, I hope all this blathering on this blog was worth it. She'll move on and you will be stuck with the steaming mess of your career to resurrect.. Good luck.

Has anyone heard of anyone being fired for unfavorable social media posts? In light of all the companies I see firing people for their comments regarding Charlie Kirk's assignation and then the Pulse article titled "Pause Before You Post: A Reminder on Social Media Responsibility", I figure social media posts will be ELV next way of firing people. They will be able to reduce numbers while not having to pay severance...smh

How many of us nursing recruiters were let go today? This is such bullsh-t. No performance plan my entire 6 year career but I get let go out of nowhere today for under performing??? Make it make sense. And thanks for the 2 weeks severance. F this place
