For those taking the VBO the next step is to get your VBO agreement on 4/12, which I'm told will include your exit date. My understanding it that most people will leave on 6/30 but it can be pushed to 9/30 or 12/31 based on business need. Does anyone have any insight into how easy or difficult it is for management to have your date extended?

I am certainly in the eligibility group.
I showed this thread to my millennial manager. Her explanations were less than convincing. The meeting ended with her saying why do I do this to myself. She always has these snippy immature moments.
I’m thinking of going to HR about this. Is it possible that she fouled up the paperwork and is now covering her butt? I really wonder sometimes…..
Sorry but you seem not able to quantify. I mean the temporal context of the posts.
Why didn’t I get notified?
I’m sure I qualify?!!!?
@6n4e your attention to detail is problematic - the original post and other subsequent comments is from 2021.
Is the exit date still June, or July for most folks?!?
If you were laid off, presumably you already got some sort of package. That being said, the idea of a look-back for voluntary departures seems counterintuitive.
Umm, sorry, but it does make sense that a VOLUNTARY buyout would apply to those that left VOLUNTARILY and not those who were laid off or fired.
interesting. seems like it should be the other way around. that if you had left voluntarily you would not get the VBO, and if you were laid off after 20+ years of service that you would.
It's my understanding that the VBO was extended to anyone who left voluntarily between the dates of 10/22/20 to 3/8/2021. I interpret that to be if you were laid off you would not qualify for the retro dates listed, only if you left voluntarily.
Chuck - there is a look-back on this. if you qualify based on age/service you should contact HR.
Got my date 9/30. All good, just gives me more time to plan everything out. I'll be able to chill out and enjoy the holidays for the first time in many many years!
Are you kidding me? This pi—s me off... I was laid off at the end of 2020. I would have taken the VBO.
I don't know about everyone else but I don't think this is going to fee "real" until I get the final agreement and the release date on Monday. I told my manager I'm taking it and will not back out and she is hardly reacting at all. So, it really doe not feel like anything is going to happen at this point.
Extremely limited to move a date out. It has to be escalated to very top management for approval and scrutiny and warrant a business critical need. Abby wants extensions at a minimum.
I don't know if it's not business need specific if the date can be moved from 6/30. I've heard majority will be 6/30.
