I keep receiving these emails about great results, another wins, another successes, so much money from so many contracts, but SO WHAT? There is nothing in it for me, and if the company is in such a great condition, why it cannot match the salaries to modern rates? I do not know what is the purpose of these emails. Honestly, every time I see these, I feel like someone just spat in my face, laughed and walked away.

@es I asked AI. Which probably gives a more sensible answer than HR.
Volunteering for VR does not remove your statutory notice rights. You have not resigned. Your role is being made redundant.
In most VR schemes, what actually happens is, the employer offers a redundancy package, including:
- Redundancy payment (statutory or enhanced)
- Notice pay (worked, garden leave or PILON)
- Accrued holiday
- You accept the terms, and agree to formally terminate your employment on a specific date.
Once signed - it's a legal contract, which cannot usually be rescinded. Most employee and employers prefer the clean and immediate separation provided by PILON.
@es I don't know but if your volunteer rather than just resign and get accepted on to the wfr then pilon has applied in the past. VR and CR were treated the same, the tricky thing is getting a chance to volunteer, I've been trying since 2017.
@eg Do you know if PILON applies if you volunteer to leave. Or do you have to hold out for CR? A UK company is legally obligated to give 1 weeks notice for every complete year of service. Capped at 12 weeks.
@dt thanks to recent consistency of benefits project in UK, we all have to give 1 months notice and DXC 3 months. So if there is ever WFR again, the 3 months PILON should still be a thing
It's like they are talking about a completely different company. I'm sure in a company of this size we do have nuggets of success. But it's an exception. So I guess that's what they are trying to make a noise about.
From my perspective. The client doesn't seem to want any work doing (by DXC). I've done hardly anything useful in the last 3 months. There's a few outstanding tasks, all blocked waiting UAT sign off, or a missing bit of information which the clients seems totally disinterested in progressing. Nobody mentions it. How long can it last!?
@da Nope. Not exactly. In Europe you are still legally obliged to work for another two-three months after giving notice. If you jsut leave like in USA, there are severe legal and finance consequences.
Yo bro - you are not a slave here - go out and get a better pay if you are capable.
