@c3 for example, 5V (Sr Directors) are capped at 52 weeks of severance.
@bw
“ 2 weeks per year of service, up to a maximum cap per job band”
I’ve never heard of a person band maximum.. just 2 weeks for every year, capped at 20 years..
What are the “band maximums”?

15% or 15000 employees is estimated at 1 to 2 billion per year savings, but when you add back in the 12000 from Frontier its a wash.
No VSP's are talent buy outs. You are just bitter you spent 30 years of your meaningless life climbing poles and pulling wires.
Was the VSP Management welfare? What a dou--e.
Go figure out how to make 5g better than other providers first
U people failed your fired
It is no EISP. It is union welfare.
