Been that way for a long time! I was laid off in March 2018 after 10 years! NEVER got a raise in the 10 years. Got a call o a Friday morning and was told that my position was eliminated. I was told that I would be done in 2 weeks! That's all the notice they give you. After 10 years, I got the maximum of 4 weeks severance pay... THAT'S IT!! I had 1 week of vacation earned through March and I had over 400 hours of sick time (didn't call out very often). LOST ALL OF THAT!!! Don't pay for vacation earned or sick time earned. They cut off my health insurance at the end of the 2 weeks. So, at age 63, I suddenly had no job, no income and no health insurance!
Feel for @Wottlwt-17bsn for everything that he went through. This is a typical example of what the company does to its loyal, long-time workers.
