Let me see if I get this right, since I got this from my mom - you are being laid off, but there is no end date given, so everybody has to wait and see instead of being able to start looking for a job in advance. That's if you want to receive your severance, of course. How is that okay?

There is a 60 day notice, not no notice. I’ve been laid off before and was given 2 weeks and no severance. In this situation I have time to consider my options. If I find something sooner I won’t get a severance but will have a stable income, and if not by the time they give a final notice I have enough time to start applying 60 days before I’m out of a job. If timed right, best case is new job and severance concurrently.
Side note: ALL mom’s a LIVID. They are protective in they same overbearing not wanting you to get dumped way. They just love you and want everyone including major corporations to see how amazing you are.
Dont quit unless you find a career worthy job. Work it out, get your severance and money for staying and then look once your 30-60 days are given. If you quit, you will not get your money for staying and you will not be able to get unemployment
I have seen 2 restructures in the last 2 years in my department at Nestle. If you find a great job to replace your current job and it seems to have a future take it. But if not I can say nestle offers a pretty good severance package that usually will have a generous base amount then will pay you 2 weeks for each year you worked and pay your COBRA for that same time. If you are a field rep with a company car usually they will offer the car to you for 1/3 current value. I know persons who bought their car then resold it and made another chunk of money. They should be able to tell you soon when your last day will be and in between you're still being paid your regular salary. Its not a great situation but it can help you over the hump.
You summed it right on up, your mom raised you right!
I am gone as soon as I find something. People wake up. As people leave the work load will only get bigger on those that stay. Then once you have to much and don' service this store or that they will let you go.
What else can we do? We the last to hear about it.
It's not OK. But we all just accept it. Pity.
