I think there is a cap on the number of weeks you get. I believe it is 36 weeks. So, if you've been with the company a really long time, you won't get more than 36 weeks.

The severance package for regular non-bonus positions is 1 week for every six months of service. (So 6 1/2 years would be 13 weeks). Not sure what other packages might be out there.
Does anyone know what kind of severance package their providing?
@1yrj+1tS2oZMT - "Yes. That is what is happening. Process is expected to be complete by January 1, 2025."
That's a very specific date! Is that an estimate or did you hear/see that timeline from somewhere?
Any inside info on National Geographic? Will content people there be eased out as well, or are they protected by the brand.
"Do you all suspect that all Content Managers of U.S. will eventually be replaced by CPMs of India?"
Yes. That is what is happening. Process is expected to be complete by January 1, 2025.

I wanted to mention that the CPMs at Gale were laid off back in April. Some individuals departed in May, while others remained until August. It wasn't feasible for them to outsource all the positions to India simultaneously. Therefore, technically speaking, these layoffs occurred several months ago.
WHen HR is losing people you know it's rough!

Several senior roles are departing, including Senior Content Managers, Senior HR Partners, and a Director of Workforce Development.

Many of the departing employees were working virtually or in "OfficeFlex" arrangements.
Some were based in physical offices or distribution centers.
This departure list suggests a significant reorganization or restructuring across multiple departments and geographical locations within the company. The high number of departures, particularly in content production and human resources, may indicate strategic changes or potential challenges in these areas.
