Curious if anyone during any round of these layoffs did not take the severance and sign the separation agreement and if so, what happened and where do you stand now?

@k4 and that scenario is not what I was talking about. Perhaps you need to learn to read.
Phishing for info is futile. In most dispute claims, If you win your case, there is a non-disclosure clause so you will never know the results.
@ft I can't speak for this year, but during last year's layoff garden leave was separate from severance.
This was the first time I heard of O doing garden leave. I recall that during the big SUNW layoff of 2017 there was none.
@ft learn to do some math. A lot of people get more than what is covered by the WARN period. If you don't sign you don't get it.
Here's what I'm wondering. If you are covered by WARN, and your severance comes in under the WARN covered period (so you get nothing additional) why do you even need to sign anything? What do you risk losing?
@bx have you actually talked to a real employee attorney? Not Jungle Law or some other billboard clown. Good law firms don’t take cases like this on contingency. A friend went through an employee dispute and at the end of the day nobody wins but the lawyers billing 500 plus dollars an hour. This friend had a legitimate claim and it still went to through mediation because going to trial was so expensive. I know it su-ks and I am not happy about all of the RSU I am losing. F*ck Oracle. If you have success please report back. I just don’t see how you beat a billionaires law team.
Went to a lawyer. Filed a case.
@bx nice story
Your best bet is to take the offered severance.
Then pack yourself up and drive to West Virginia and once you get there apply to Coal Miner jobs at all West Virginia mines. You would have a job offer within two days that is 100% dependent that you can pass a mandatory dr-g test.
@ak so.. You haven't talked to a lawyer about this. They work off of the earnings from the case and they're selective about the cases they take. Lets put it this way big firms have been reaching out.
Conversations have been very active. Oracle's stonewalling and low balling attempts have really pi---d people off.
@OP it would be very expensive to try and fight Oracle in a legal dispute. Best to just cut your losses and move on.
