Any one receive their paperwork to sign And labels to mail back equipment?

Does anyone know where to find the separation date?

Driving me crazy

Can you lose severance if you find a new job within weeks of being laid off?

Thoughts? They couldn't possibly do any worse than what we have now: losing multi billion dollar PBM contracts, overpaying for acquisitions, and lighting money on fire between contractor/vendor abuse and longstanding redundancies.

So the warm notices on 10/21 would be 60 days notice from last Monday in which most states require except NJ 90 days required hence NOV date but … it goes through 12/31 so that leads me to believe they are not done. Does everyone have a town hall on... — read more

Heard rumors that 25,000 full time jobs will be cut next year, which includes retail. A move that large would be discussed with more people than the 5,000 layoffs, since it would be a huge change to plan. Any one hear anything else about this?

Based on some state WARN notices, it looks like there will be more layoffs in October, is that correct? I’m from Illinois and our notice only gives the initial notice date but not an “end date”

2,900 more to go. We aren't even halfway there yet.
