#termination

Let's see how the rest of the year unfolds

If people would just follow through with their theats of quitting then we would have less layoffs. Every post seems to be “I’m the best employee ever and blah blah blah happened to me”. Nobody cares. If it’s illegal or wrongful termination get a lawyer and handle it like a normal person. Otherwise it’s just noise.

As we continue to see high-performing Canadians increasingly targeted by their American managers for political reasons, a concerning disparity is also emerging in termination practices, with a disproportionate number of minorities being affected.

Here’s something most people don’t realize: banks settle 98–99% of wrongful termination lawsuits before they ever reach trial. That’s right, only 1–2% make it to court. Why? Because they know what’s at stake, it's cheaper for them to settle than actually go to trial.

So if you’ve been let go and you belong to a class protected by EEO laws; you owe it to yourself to talk to an employment attorney. Many offer free consultations, and that one meeting could completely change your outcome.

If Truist offers you severance, do not sign anything yet. Severance agreements are written to protect the company not you. Once you sign, you forfeit your right to sue.

Instead, speak with an attorney first. You can file a discrimination charge with the EEOC, get a “Right to Sue” letter, and bring your case to federal court. You and your attorney will file a lawsuit with the federal court in the federal district you reside in.

Here’s the part they don’t want you to know: settlement amounts are significantly higher than whatever severance you’re being offered, in the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You only get one shot at this. Make it count. Stand up for your rights, and don’t walk away without what you’re truly owed!

If i stop showing up in the office, how long will it take to get a package? My situation is i have enough money to retire. I can't stand sitting in the office with the freak show there. If i stop going can they fire me, or will then default to writing me up and then PIP and then give me a package. My package is worth like 6 months, so i want it. I fu--ing hate working at this place so bad. Its painful working here.

Anyone hear anything about remote workers? Have managers been given a chance to prove their position is critical or will all remote employees be let go Oct 28?

has anyone else gotten a “slap on the wrist” for reaching out to a director to talk about an issue? i was recently warned by my manager that reaching out to a director and skipping the order of management could lead to termination. isn’t this a bit much?!

Have a q: have some people been let go for not being in the office frequently enough (getting enough badge swipes per week)...

Curious if people have been termed for not being in the office frequently enough/ getting 3 badge swipes per week.

ADP doesn’t seem to enforce policies like attendance, punctuality, sick time day before or after holiday so is the # of days in office enforced?

Wow. After seeing all the layoffs over the years, you’d think I’d have been prepped for this. But no. Over a decade of working 80 hour weeks at times, late nights, weekends during Q-end. Missing weddings, events, time with family. To having my literal career here be laid off in a 5 minute phone call—and a rushed and cold one at that—is mind blowing. Less than a few mins after the call, my laptop was shut down, everything disconnected. The conversation was clearly scripted and completely impersonal. To tell someone they’re losing a job they’ve held for so long, they’re losing their pay and benefits in 14 days and show no compassion or empathy is just wild. What’s worse? Even my own direct manager had no idea. Talk about lack of transparency. Zero appreciation. Everyone is a number here at this company.

I worked for the company for years and have had medical issues less than a month after i requested accommodations via ada as a disabled vet I was terminated, before i could even get my accommodation equipment to work. it makes me think with all their finiancial woes that they are terminating people and i almost worked for them for a decade and had outstanding performance reviews until i got sick.

I can also tell you there watson IVR system is plagued with thousands upon thousands of Bot calls retrieving PHI which is a massive HIPPA violation. After auditing them and telling them of this and applying to ADA they axed me.

But all the non-stop meetings about resume building and things hinting at org changes and such have been going on and i know alot of people are on the early retirement track.

I fortunately documented all the HIPPA violations my notification of them to them and notified it officially to the government today.

This has been going on for years, I hope they enjoy the Hipaa audit let alone the FTC violations.

This is how I will get through staring at their empty desks.

Optum Sh-t Show

anyone know what happens if you continue to not adhere to the 4 day mandate even after the final warning?

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?

The largest single corporate layoff in U.S. history was IBM's reduction of its workforce by 60,000 employees in 1993.

However, the ongoing mass federal layoffs under the second Trump administration, potentially exceeding 200,000 workers and possibly reaching 300,000, could surpass this corporate record if completed. More to come in 4th Quarter 2025

Other major layoffs include Citigroup's 50,000 job cuts in 2008 and Sears' 50,000 job cuts in 1993.

What happens to the current ESPP balance? Do we get stocks or do we get the money back? My notice date was Sept 2 and last date is Sept 22.
As per the FAQ, if termination date is after the 15th, you get stocks but I am trying to understand will it look at the 2nd or 22nd?

Folks, if you are so worried about being terminated, then you already know the answer - you are a goner. Those that are confident in the real value they bring to COP will survive.

There is no point working in sales here at the moment . Unnecessary trainings meetings and demodifer make it close to impossible to hit your number. Not to mention 30% increase in your number when the company is not doing well. They just want to find way to get rid of people ..dells out of money for packages so now it's performance based termination...bring it on my laters ready with all details on how you have sc--wed many people . About time a class action lawsuit is done to get back to leaders who keep filling their pockets.

Anyone notice in news articles a date for the layoff was given???

Just wondering, if anyone has been affected by not complying to full RTO. Heard management has been more strict now, probably since we are heading towards year end. I know it will eventually result in termination. But do they give a warning and then PIP? or just lay you off randomly. I just think its ridiculous for this 3 day office requirement..

I just got terminated for a supposedly hippa related violation and was totally blindsided by this with a ruse calling the one to one meeting my mid year review and then when logging into the meeting was greeted by my manager (so called)…

and a rep from HR!!…

just in time for me not to be able to log onto the early retirement account and accept the package from my email account that was sent to my work email only during last week when I was unable to access my work related to a personal disaster of a fire that displaced me from my home for the past 2 weeks as well as having my house destroyed at over 80% damage and will be months before the ball gets rolling with my insurance/demolition/construction to rebuild my house !!!!…

Humana doesn’t give a cr-p about their employees like they say they do…it’s all a ruse to use you until they don’t need you anymore!!!…

I was a faithful nurse and employee for almost 6 years as of my upcoming 08/12/2025 anniversary date with them!!!…Shame on them and shame on you the supervisor/so called manager of my team who has had it out for me since February of this year when I was voluntold to move to their team not by choice!!!…Run while you still can and accept the retirement package before they sn---h it out from under you like they have done me !!!!

What has this company become. I’ve given 19 years of my life to it and how do the big wigs repay me? A choice between termination or demotion. There aren’t words big enough to express how disappointed I am. So much pain and sadness.

Large string of terminations to replace core support teams with outsourced.

Tomorrow is Termination Tuesday! Anyone have any deets on the targeted areas ?

I was terminated just via email .
What would be the reason ,does anyone know ?

Just got laid off this morning with no warning, completely shut out of all systems. I was at an oncologist appointment when the termination meeting started. Myself and my team also training a new team outside of the US on how to do our job the last 2 weeks. Been at the company for many years and now I'm gone.

Hi I understand from reading bp share policy, upon termination of bp employment, bp has discretion to allow its ex-employee to keep the restricted shares (if they are a good leaver etc). Does anyone know who's decision it is to allow the employee to keep the shares? Any other insights as to what process / considerations for the decision. I am getting no information from my line manager.
