On a Sunday and of course no mention of safety measures and work from home for Minneapolis employees due to unrest. Typical clown CEO. Donate while I cut your jobs. Can she get any worse?

Straight from Davos:

• JPMorgan Chase CEO Warns AI Could Cause Civil Unrest

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon discussed AI's impact on jobs at the World Economic Forum. He warned AI could lead to civil unrest if not managed properly by society. Dimon urged businesses and governments to collaborate on worker support programs. This support includes retraining, income assistance, and relocation aid. He suggested a slow AI rollout and potential government regulation to prevent mass layoffs.

Does UHG provide out placement services to severed employees. If so, which company?

So, after logging into EAP (Spring Health), a big splash screen said my EAP would end 2/4/26. Well, excuse me, but the FAQ say EAP ends at the end of the benefit period, which for me/mine is 7/31/26. After calling them and confirming the date THEY say, I am currently "battling" with EAP and providing said screen shots, severance period, etc. Has anyone else encountered this? On another note, I did receive the Cobra package yesterday, and it does appear the coverage ended on 12/31, but if you look on the back of the 1st page, you should find YOUR end date. I saw an earlier post with some ppl freaking out. (I need some counseling DA---T!! :-) )

I am trying to sign and it says invalid agreement id. How do i go about it? I thought we had 45 days from last day on payroll.

I know I saw it posted on here before can someone remind me what the password is? Is it your last name + birthdate?

1. Were you given the opportunity to retire, and collect your SERMA if you had one.
2. If you did the retirement route, did you also collect whatever weeks of severance that were being offered at the time.

I'm ready to retire after 30 years. I'd hate to wait for whatever package may be offered only to find out I'd be sc--wed out of my SERMA. I'd rather not pose this question to HR.
Thanks.

I’m so sorry you all are going through this. I went through it with VZ in 2023. I just want to let you ALL know there is life outside of Verizon. I encourage you to take full advantage of the FREE resources they offer regarding job readiness. You will find yourself working a lot less hours, actually being able to have a life & being happier overall. I know today is hard, but just know the light at the end of the tunnel is much brighter than you could ever imagine.

My heart has been so heavy the last few days not because I'm worried just for myself, but because I've become somewhat addicted to checking this page and reading your posts and sensing your fear and frustration. I've joked for the past few years about wanting to get a VSP opportunity. But as I examine my life savings and number of years until I can officially retire i realize that those numbers dont add up. So I guess there is a bit of worry about that.

But I've been a person of faith all of my adult life. An old hymn we used to sing is called "My Anchor Holds" It speaks to times of uncertainty when storms rage, if our life is properly anchored, we will make it through the storm. Today I choose to cling onto that thought. When life knocks you down it gives you a chance to look up and find or renew your hope and faith in God. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you all today.

People often ignore these or maybe are too proud or whatever, but these can be invaluable. They certainly were to me when I was laid off from my last job.

I think it would be helpful if more of us participated here so we could all benefit from more information.

I see that new threads get 300+ views within a couple of hours, which is great, but I do not feel we have reached critical mass yet.

I would share this internally, but I am worried I might get in trouble if someone were to report me.

I have mentioned it verbally to my team, but that is only about 10 people.

I could post about it on Facebook using a random name, but I doubt that would actually reach anyone useful.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to spread the word safely and effectively?

i think it'd be good if more of us participate here, we'd have access to more info.

EJ actually has a 6 page "layoff guide" available to help clients when their lives are turned upside down.

How nice...better refrain from further comment.

For those who have been laid off, my heart goes out to you.

Has anyone used the services that Target has provided after the layoff? I got a call from RightManagement for resume and future career support. Is this a scam or actually legit?

Nothing drives me up the wall like the phrase “Ask your supervisor”.

LITERALLY every senior manager, every email from exec, HR, colleagues, company intranet just tells you to Ask your supervisor if you have career ambitions, have family problems, have questions about the company strategy, company CO2 and NOx emissions, oh and while ur at it you can also ask your supervisor what next quarters dividends are gonna be right ???

Are there any benefits if you come on as a rehire ?

Anyone else receive “Belk of Belk” for only 3 months while management still has the 30% discount? The only explanation I’ve heard is it’s a “new program” this year. So, let me get this straight. The associates work their @sses off for a year then only get the 30% discount for 3 months?! Make it make sense.

As WF employees, we should all receive substantial discounts on home and auto loans.
