Work hard-the boss needs another holiday house. Get paid with Fridaze pizza and balloons.

If cash is down, we need to lift the teammate spirits up! How about a silly dance, a funny wig, chanting the corporate mission statements, while singing and clapping to the corporate leaders? That would perhaps help—it did at Duhvita health partners?

Oh! Quite sad. Do you mean employees in those countries were also chosen part of this March cutdown ?

Severance is based on a grid of years of service and grade level. For instance if you have been here 2 years and you are a grade 25 you'll get 3 weeks. If you are a grade 29+ it's 11 weeks. Maxes out at 26 weeks no matter what grade or years of service (not including the executives of course).

Optum Tech. No one will give department name n these forums. We were in various calls on either side of the cuts. Its real and hurting a lot of hard working folks. 5% and basis was MAP.
Now coast peacefully!

Look up severance policy on spark. It tells you how much severance you are entitled to based on GL and tenure.

Not all are getting notice—was told by those in my division they were let go immediately after the meeting. May depend upon the regulations in the sector you operate in.

Severance, yes, but I don't know how much.

Are they making jobless the same day or giving any notice period/additional pay weeks?
