Knew it as soon as my manager asked via IM to talk because he never communicates.
Can feel his lip shaking as he read the script to me, advising me of the key points of the agreement like it was so special and I, a 16 year employee should be appreciative..
When he mentioned the severance I had to laugh..I still think this is a joke.
So now we count down, look for opportunities and get ready to watch IBM stock to drop line a rock..which reminds me, better sell in the morning.
I was also notified via phone. However, give highly emotional climate each time an RA happens, I actually preferred it to walking and watching others walk the "green mile" back to our desks.
This sucks - so alienated - what have we become
Did you get 1 month or the 23 weeks? I am guessing 1 month. Their new agreement. I advised everyone I could to run last year. I volunteered for redundancy. Knew the axe would come sooner or later and didn't want to waste another minute of my life in that hell hole.
We are just numbers on a spreadsheet bro. Via phone. Give me a break. What a horrible soulless company
