are the peeps actually coming to work AND putting in the effort after being laid off while waiting for the last day. I mean, why? Really, why?

I put in about 2 hours a day helping people I liked in my last 2 weeks.
Only other "work‐related" thing I did was remove myself from teams channels and meeting invites and relinquish permissions that shouldn't be freshly assigned to people who are laid off. Not joking.
Some people actually care about the people we serve.
This forum is suppose to be informative and provide information to help people prepare for possible layoffs etc. There are folks that have many roles in the org on here, some are easier to do the "minimum" than others, please refrain from judgement, and calling people fools etc, it takes away form the actual value of this site.
Why do you care?
If you care for patients on a regular schedule, it’s hard not to care.
My department was wiped out of +60people, and most of us have reoccurring monthly appointments to possibly +100 patients on a weekly basis. We all have a protocol/script to tell new and reoccurring patients how group and individual consults are going from a provider level team of 40 to 5.
The WARN act really saves my a-s with having 60 days of work timeline and living in a state where PTO/Severance is legally bound to be paid out on the last day or in part in a reasonable time after no longer officially working.
That is really strange to expect people to work once they are informed you are so not important to the organization. You get the off payroll date and then the severance is a different issue. Sounds like you fools working are gonna get fu---d. Im sure there is some arbitrary clause in the separation agreement where optum decides if you fulfilled terms to get severance and then decide sorry joke is on you. Professionalism that makes me laugh. Only some old dinosaur buys that junk anymore.
Yup. Severance. Thats all. Powered down and used the time to find a job. If leaders don’t show professionalism and make it about the money, well, same here. See there’s an agreement, you respect me, I respect you. We are so siloed and isolated to keep us out of the loop and uninformed. Thats no way to work. Thats not a team. So you get exactly what was agreed upon at hire and no more. Thats not slacking and making someone’s job harder. Thats self respect.
The severance for me. Quickly wrapping up while I have health insurance. Not integrity or professionalism. Those days are over. You can f$%k me over only so many times. I gave a lot and got dumped like a chump. Never again. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice and I’m a chump. They treat us like dirt and we act like martyrs hoping we’ll be treated better. My next job gets the minimum. No more sacrificing personal time or getting stressed.
Well 65K in severance is 65 reasons. That was an easy one.
Integrity, professionalism?? Just because your employer hasn't shown this quality doesn't mean you shouldn't. The day you want to f..k off, stay home. Slackness makes other innocent coworkers days that much harder!!
