I bet those employees still with the company would welcome a union to protect their interests.

I received my severance via direct deposit, but no breakdown sent to me. Are we going to receive 401 k match. I did it for 11 months, are they going to pay us?

My severance was posted to my bank today. Last day 11/28. Hope everyone else got their severance too.
