Poor performance, multiple waves of layoffs, running the company to the ground. Bryan Hanson should be sued by Solventum employees, not paid $40 million. Please consult a good employment attorney to explore this option.

Got laid off yesterday. Have been working in synopsys from last 3.6yrs. Not sure what range of severance package should expect?
No formal HR communication!
Any help regarding Irish benifits?

RIFed US workers before H1B visa holders? Shouldn't the H1B workers be RIFed before a US citizen?

When Wellness Week was implemented during Covid, Nike used the opportunity to axe the profit sharing retirement benefit. The messaging stated, "We are prioritizing investments into employee well being and pay continuity for retail athletes." The decision made sense and there wasn't much push back at the time. Today "wellness week" was taken away, but nothing was mentioned about reinstating what we gave up - the profit sharing plan. All of that coupled with an Oscar worthy performance and the audacity to ask for complete focus and commitment while taking benefits away. Appalling!

How is it even legal. I don’t care about race or anything. But somehow these people have not gotten the message. Favoritism being paid to their own kind??? How is that even legal????

If your employer fails to report layoffs to the WARN system, you may have grounds to take legal action. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires employers to provide 60 days' notice before mass layoffs or plant closures. If they do not comply, affected employees can seek compensation.

Steps to Take

1. Confirm Eligibility

• Ensure your employer has at least 100 full-time employees.
• Verify that the layoffs affect 50 or more employees at a single site within 30 days.

1. Gather Evidence

• Document the details of the layoffs, including dates, number of employees affected, and any communications from your employer.

1. Consult an Attorney

• Seek legal advice from an attorney experienced in employment law. They can help you understand your rights and the potential for a class action lawsuit.

1. File a Class Action Lawsuit

• If multiple employees are affected, you can join together to file a class action lawsuit. This can help share legal costs and strengthen your case.

Potential Compensation

If successful, you may be entitled to:

• Up to 60 days of back pay and benefits.
• Additional damages if the employer's actions were willful.

Reporting Violations

You can also report WARN Act violations to the U.S. Department of Labor. They may investigate and enforce compliance, which can support your case.

Taking these steps can help you navigate the legal process if your employer fails to report layoffs as required by the WARN Act.

What happens to protected classes during a RIF? Are any special considerations given?

Hello
Can someone please post the current retirement calculation?

I was laid-off, now past severance with no access to current docs. I am getting paperwork from WF calling me a retiree and including sign-up docs and sites for retiree benefits. Yes, I know, there are really no retirement 'benefits'. Just curious why this is happening.

Thanks

When you left XOM via PIL, how long did it take to be paid out for your remaining vacation?

WHAT CAN I DO?

I know it was talked about with HC reductions but am a little shook my fault for not exploring the job market coming up to 10 years at intel, does anyone know details about severence packages that recently been laid off in Oregon? Is it the same as before?

Just curious..... When you get laid off, does Verizon pay you for your banked time off or use it or lose it?

Do they spy on your work machine?

Does anyone know how they would check if you are in office? Can I just swipe my badge and leave?

VZ cannot put you on the list if your out on dissability..lol just some info

anyone want to share a severance template?

Will someone please post what the Bonus payout percentage is, if it was emailed yet or when they do send it? As someone that was laid off this summer, we’re eligible for pro-rated payment and I’m curious where it’s sitting at as of Q3. I saw a post about the GTH and usually they release it around the same time but haven’t seen anyone mention it.

So if you are let go what's the package like at Conoco these days? I left many years back and moved to family business. So just curious if it's better than what it used to be.
Good luck !

But business leaders are still pretending (lying) AI is taking peoples jobs.

The best-performing current AI agents achieve an automation rate of 2.5%, failing to complete most projects at a level that would be accepted as commissioned work in a realistic freelancing environment. This demonstrates that despite rapid progress on knowledge and reasoning benchmarks, contemporary AI systems are far from capable of autonomously performing the diverse demands of remote labor.

I haven't noticed any emails about WF giving us 2 hrs to go vote on election day, but maybe I missed it.

Sorry, I don’t belong to a union at Verizon so I don’t understand the protections that it gives you.

Are you not able to be laid off without a special package? Or are you able to be laid off but the union will do a strike if or when Verizon does?

I looked on the intranet but can’t find the info. If you get RIF, do you get VZ non-COBRA insurance for the same length as your severance weeks? Or does VZ insurance go away on our last day of work?
Thanks.

The WARN act requires companies with over 100 full-time employees to give workers 60 days notice of layoffs. Is anyone filing an EEOC claim?

I've heard 4 wks per year.

How does optum pay out per diem weekly salary for time after the last day in office to separation date. Do they calculate an average?

There is a significant HR policy violation in the retail banking unit. District and branch managers are conducting "backdoor background checks" by calling applicants' current employers to solicit references. This practice is entirely unprofessional for U.S. Bank Management and creates an unacceptable risk by potentially exposing applicants' job search and placing their current employment in danger.

Do you know if severance includes a prorated bonus (even if the planned bonus incentive is 50 percent this year)? Also - does anyone know if it will be pay through Jan 3rd and then 6 weeks + 1 week per year of service? Or just pay through Jan 3rd and 1 week per year of service?

In the past we have 1x salary coverage for Basic Life Insurance covered by company. I do not see that for 2026. Am I overlooking it or did they take that benefit away?

Starting a thread.
Medicare retirees will no longer have dental coverage as of next year.
Would they try doing this to current employees too?

Does anyone have direct experience going from a long term disability leave of absence while their site or coworkers were laid off, and were returned to work after the layoff? I am currently on LTD and am wondering what the process will be when my doctor returns me to work. Will I get a 60 day non working notice or go directly to being laid off? The employee handbook doesn't cover this and I will be asking my manager, just wondering if anyone has already gone through this with HR.

As above. I just happened to notice it’s open (?) and ends mid Nov, as per uge.

I didn’t get an email nor I don’t think a snail mail.

They couldn’t possibly try to keep me from getting free bennies months into next year… or would they??

they increased the premium by 9.5% for FY2026, is this the real inflation?
