I just realized we need to create a go fund me page from everyone that has been laid off and let America know don't buy HP, DXC or HPE anything.. Create an ad just like them selling a printer that only lasts a a few months and the ink costs more than the printer every other month and always dry when you want to print and show everyone how they don't care anything except making money. Have examples of how they have let many customers down and all the customers comments on why they would never go with them again. Real people in America that have been hurt over their money hungry tactics. Just a thought.
So this follows the usual pattern.
The Q1 figures are in and before the analyst call Mikey has to be able to have in place a plan to react to the sh1t numbers, in case he is asked about why he has failed.
Hopefully Nick Wilson is top of the list. Smug poodle hair muppet.
It seems some folks got the mail then got a retraction the following day...as mentioned by @OmCMImt-exu below.
I got both mails too. Absolute clowns.
But at least you get an option, most of the US doesn't even get that. What what ever we are al,l on the same team and it s---s!
Right source the CEO to a lower cost country and save the people who really serve the clients.

It's also not voluntary as such, it's a precursor to compulsory. Don't be fooled into thinking they'll let anyone go.
They call it voluntary because the laws here require that these avenues be exhausted before they do compulsories. Be in no doubt they already have a list with all the targets.
If your company has sh-- employment laws that's your problem. No offence intended.
When your senior tech guys earn in the hundreds of thousands a year we also look at you in envy.
The avg UK salary is a measly 30-35k for an experienced tier 3 engineer. Some people I know who are on less than 30k, and I've also met a few who are on 25k.
Having VR is not only down to being in the UK, we pay through our arses in tax for some of these benefits.
I don't know what your crying about its a VR notice Voluntary redundancy (VR) is a financial incentive offered by an organisation to encourage employees to voluntarily resign, typically in downsizing or restructuring situations. The purpose is to avoid layoffs or, in certain cases, to circumvent union employee regulation laws.
In the US there is no VR, it's a letter saying clean out your desk and at most you get 8 weeks severance.
just delete it, its rubbish

I got the VR email along with all other 6 members of my team. The email also said that I was in a pool of people from which they need to reduce the headcount. No mention of what linked the people in the pool and how many there were, why I was in it and how many would be going. Irony is that we are inundated with work at the moment.
Can anyone post the WFR email?
Anyone who works for Tribridge take note. This is your future.
I got the mail then i got another saying it shouldn't have been sent to me.
Inhuman? Or a breach of my human rights?
Absolute chaos, this isn't a company its a lunatic asylum.
Didn't receive the email....but have been forwarded it from my manager in the US. Thanks for thinking of me!
800+ going
If you get the VR email, you`ll get the other ones as well. For the ones that were saying is scaremongering ... what are you going to say now?
Check your clutter folder as mine ended up there for some stupid reason despite it originally arriving in my inbox. Everybody around me in Hook got the same email.
This did NOT go to the entire UK I did not get a VR-related email today.
Im ex CSC, i got it!!!!! never ending!
