Any one planning to negotiate severance? Could you list what you will be negotiating for and what strategy to use to influence in your favor?

I could tell my 3-level up manager was not happy reading his script. The HR lady was also nice and answered all my questions. It was obvious that they were not involved in the decision-making process. Remember, they are just the messengers, not... — read more 

Director show no emotion heartless gutless, make sure your screen is on. HR joins. Dir states the position is eliminated but i never had a bad review. I view myself as most productive and asset. I owning a project that my lead is clueless on. It’s... — read more

Had my meeting this morning with an svp and an hr rep and a handful of others. The two were reading off a script and looked completely devoid of emotion (maybe tried a little to look sad)? The call had all participants on mute while they stated that... — read more 

Hearing a lot of people are getting different separation dates. Mine is a month longer than someone else I work with. Wonder what decides that.

laying off just weeks short of 10 work anniversary saves money I guess , so much for loyalty.

30 mins, 75 people.

Noticed some 15 minute 'tentative' intervals on some team members' schedules today. I can think of only 1 meeting today that would be 15 minutes.

Who the he-l decides who to let go? We have slackers on our team who could be laid off and we wouldn't even feel it. But these two folks are not them. Both of them will be missed and their absence will be felt. I'm not worried about them finding new... — read more 

That’s what I was told. After 20 years. This is not about production. Being laid off by a director who has no skills for that position and absolutely no personality and seeing who was kept mind boggling. Surprised we didn’t draw straws. HR is a... — read more 

Anyone know if any of the call centers are impacted?

Or are people expected to work another week/WARN's 60 days/until the end of their project/whatever?

Nothing like giving up your life for the company. 20 years. Being Loyal and chris Cartwright and other leadership absolute cut throat. Place was so much better when Jim Pe-k ran that place. Chris is a puppet. His tech staff are a bunch of puppets who... — read more 

Good luck, everybody!

Is anyone aware of Customer Success being impacted? The team under McCarthy

Does anyone know if people on H-1B and L-1B are impacted?

In Brazil, we are in total darkness. The layoffs are supposed to take place until the end of November, as the negotiation period with the union will begin, which (also supposedly) would mean one month of stability until the end of the... — read more 

I’m curious to see if they chose mostly people who haven’t been here that long to reduce the severance obligations. I’ve been here a little over 2 years.

There's got to be somebody in the know here! I'm not asking for anything confidential. Just let us know if there'll be more invites coming or not.

I got an email yesterday at 5pm CST as HOLD-BUSINESS UPDATES. This meeting invite was cancelled at 4:30AM CST and New invite came at the same time as BUSINESS UPDATES with same attendees as earlier email. I am on H1B and my Perm process is pending... — read more 

I understand that folks are stressing about what's on the horizon, but you need to realize that it's not as bad as you envision it to be right now. There are loads of companies out there doing way cooler stuff with way better pay, perks, and work... — read more 

Will we still get next weeks pay as normal payroll and will it be considered separate from any severance?

Am I entitled to any kind of severance if I've been here for under a year?

Until the shinning star decays, Many more waves will come for sure by end of 2024. The poison pill was introduced in company on Dec-2021, since then star tookover TU brand. BOD's will not realize until it falls to deep roots.

Too many unknowns, too much anxiety. Tomorrow will be long, but I hope at least it will be done by the end of the day. I can't take too many sleepless nights.

anybody?

It's peculiar that HR is marked as optional during layoffs. Any thoughts? I'm not expecting a miracle, but this seems unprofessional, especially with the short 30-minute duration. Has anyone else experienced this? Any insights on bonus and severance... — read more 

Can I consider myself safe if I didn't receive an invite today or will there be more sent out tomorrow?

For those of us who received the invite for tomorrow, does this mean tomorrow will be our last day? Or we will slowly off board? Only asking because I got lots of work and have zero motivation to do any considering I have an invite for 9amCST.

Title

When you find out, please inform us of the severance package, in general terms (e.g. salary for x length of time, not actual $). Whatever else might be covered in the package. I'm sure it will be the similar for most of us rank-and-file.

I’m surprisingly calm. This is the first time in my career being laid off. I thought I’d be devastated, but I’m just happy to get out of this place tbh.

Please comment below if people are getting email or anyone you know of are getting invite post 7 PM CST

Is this an RIF meeting? A meeting to talk about the changes going on? The meeting language seems different from what others have posted and just says ‘Please hold this time for an important business update. Meeting details to follow.’
