Thread regarding Nestle layoffs

DSD No More!

The entire DSD division will be no more. EVERYONE DSD being laid off.

They can switch to other open positions within Nestle. No timeframe given, product going to warehouse so depends on the stores switching over to warehouse.

Severance is one week for every year with the company as well as a retention bonus being paid after staying throughout the remainder of time.

Severance will be paid as a normal paycheck, not a lump sum. The retainer bonus will be lump sum.

Is one week pay for year of service or two?

The withholding rate on bonus/severance isn’t a tax, it’s just an estimate of what the tax will be. Payroll systems interpret bonuses as moving you to a higher tax bracket and aim to reduce what you may owe in taxes after the year is over.

Does anyone know if you need to stay the entire time for the severance or is that just for the bonus

The lump sum will be taxed at our normal rate between 15% -25% depending on how much you made last year, plus will be taxed a extra 10%-15% because bonuses get taxed hard

Yes, the retainer bonus will be a lump sum. It will be paid within 45 days of last day of employment, according to the package details my husband was given.

My Fiance is getting laid off with Nestle. Very respectfully, one week pay for every year he worked there is an INSULT!! At the company I work for it is a month pay for each year of service!!!! If I would be laid off I would get about 130K Severance. I hope that retention bonus is big because the severance is ridiculous. Be on your best behavior people as they will find ways to let go of people so they don't have to pay your bonus and severance.

I’m from the freedom DC and pretty much no more ice cream by the end of the year and we are strictly doing pizza. We were called the deep frozen but now just the biggest frozen warehouse of pizza in the country.
