Thread regarding SAS Institute layoffs

Early retirement buyout offers this year?

Does anyone remember the timing for last year’s buyout offer? I finally hit the 'magic number' and hoping for a repeat of last year’s offer.

"If the goal of RTO was to lower headcount they would lean into it and make it true RTO not a slight tweak to already existing hybrid policy."

I'd guess that lowering headcount is not a major goal of the change in policy, but inducing a small handful to pack it in and leave is probably viewed as a potential positive side effect.

As said in another thread RTO is this year’s tool to reduce head count. Buyouts may not be necessary to show “growth” this year, lol.

IIRC, the last couple of packages applied to EITHER age OR years of service.

Honestly, it should be an age+years of service calculation. Why should a 60 year old who has been here 10 years get a package and a 58, 59 year old who's been here 35 years get nada? Makes no sense....

@aw lower it and it will be more magical.

Is 60 pretty typical at other companies? 55 sounds better :)

“And what was the magic number?”

And that magic number is 60.

Offers were made mid March just after bonuses. We have a different CFO now so all bets are off.
