It was on a Friday afternoon for Monday.
I had been quiet quitting for a 2 years already so welcomed the payout.
Only gripe I had is it was scheduled for 8am.
I remember pinging my manager "really? we have to do this at 8am???"
no response of course.
Anyways, I am in a much better place now. My only regret was staying as long as I did at Dell (4years). I consider it a stain on my resume.
Agree with above. It's all about the manager. My manager let me know weeks in advance and HR was not even on the call. These last 18 months have been so refreshing.
I got a call from my manager on a Sunday. Knew what was going on as I was a manager at Dell too. He told me like, hey, we'll speak with HR tomorrow at 9 AM and I looked forward to it so much. HR did their script and I asked how soon I could sign. Left 4 days later on the Friday. :)
May I ask what geo and what the package was (percentages etc)?
Your manager is a di-k
