I work in St Louis. My manager told me today he's checking to see if they want me gone before my 60 days are up.
Can Boeing push employees out sooner before their 60 days are up?
Do you get paid for the 60 days if they push you out?

Only a spiteful company would keep you around for 60 days. A wise company would hand you a tote box, give you 30 minutes to clear out your desk, then escort you off company property with a check for 60 days worth of pay in your back pocket. Let's be honest it's reallt pointless to keep you around &far better to cut the cord asap !!!
They have to pay you for 60 days. They can walk you out earlier. Some companies disable computer access for laid off employees the day that they are notified so there is no sabotage. You can look for work from home or the employment office in peace. Good luck to you.
Consider yourself lucky.
Consider yourself gone. St Louis is notable for treating people there like trash.
What they should be doing there is laying off the entire HR department, including managers, VP of HR, Senior VP of HR and on and on.
Don't listen to the union trash.
Your rights are guaranteed by the WARN act, not the Union as they would have you believe.
Now, they do not have to keep you in the building for 60 days if you get a WARN, they DO have to pay you for 60 days.
Many companies will walk you out right after notification and pay you for 60 days
And that is a blessing!!!!
Looking for a job is a full time job.
That is hard to do when you still have a job. If they want to cut you loose early, take it and start looking for a job while you are still being paid.
If you are an Engineer in St Louis. You are not represented by SPEEA so the managers and HR can mistreat you however they want to there.
If you are a Mechanic. The St Louis Machinist union is small and weak compared to the Machinist union up here in Seattle.
