Recently I read that for a new hire they mandate 60 days of notice period to leave with the wording under fullest extent of law. Is it true that you can’t leave without 60 days’ notice? Do they pursue it legally? I also read they have arbitration so in that case how it can be enforced legally?

Forget engineering and join legal. It's dynamic and creative, they are busy but well compensated. Cisco has developed this competency like no other company and this tells you a lot about the direction of the company - extract and protect is the mantra nowadays. Lawyers are not better than engineers, but here at Cisco they can thrive just because that's the game nowadays.

I was looking through my new employee paperwork from when I started at Wells many moons ago, and at that time the company policy was 1 month of severance for every year of service. Sometime in 2017, the policy apparently changed to just 2 weeks per year.

My questions are: Can the company legally change a severance policy like that? Did employees have to sign something acknowledging the change?

I vaguely remember seeing something about this in the OWBPA or on Teamworks before I was laid off. I’m especially wondering whether older, long-tenured employees have any recourse.

Please only weigh in if you actually know the answer or have relevant experience. The snarky remarks are getting old. Thanks!

Laying a disabled person off after they ask for an accommodation is unlawful.

For those of you that have analyzed the PIL language or had a lawyer review the language, were any dealbreaker clauses found?

Is it worth signing to get 3 months of salary?

Northeast CZW tech who are being forced into the Union are getting their comp sheets in September and will have 30 days to decide if they will be joining the Union or will be laid off by the end of year

Is this actually legal to force employees into the Union?

Anne Schiavone represented me against another company and yes, we won! Her firm practices on STL although they are located in KC. I highly recommend. I have been in touch with her recently and she appreciates the referral!

In Finance they declassified 15 execs to protect them from the two strike rule. Now they are competing at 28-29 level and can avoid NSI. Guess how they selected which execs were declassed? Definitely not the older ones. How is that legal?

Be mindful that some employees are carrying undercover cameras on them and recoding workplace infractions. Belk can be liable for these workplace violations.

My Manager rated me 'needs improvement' and provided some comments after giving me additional work due to allocating more work after laying off a colleague year back. I used to have good ratings during previous 6 years with successful meet expectations.
Are these managers not trained, or what legal advice can I take or who should I talk to? EU employee.

The pharmaceutical giant is embroiled in a legal dispute with rival Eli Lilly over weight-loss dr-g advertising. Simultaneously, a new safety warning regarding optic nerve stroke has been added to the prescribing information for its semaglutide-based dr-gs.

Despite these headwinds, Novo Nordisk has partnered with Amazon Web Services to enhance its digital capabilities.

A quantitative analyst who spent more than two decades at BNY Mellon says the bank pushed him out because he was 58 and disabled.

The former vice president filed suit against The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation in Manhattan federal court on August 7, 2026, alleging that his 2023 termination violated federal age and disability law. According to the complaint, the case brings claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The filing says the worker joined the bank in August 2001 as a senior quantitative analyst at age 36 and rose to vice president on the Markets Quantitative team. He contracted polio as a child, the complaint says, and has right-leg atrophy that limits his ability to stand for long stretches, climb stairs, and cross uneven ground, requiring him to walk with a cane. According to the filing, he disclosed the condition to a senior risk executive in late 2002 and signed a written agreement to work from home two days a week.

That arrangement loosened over time, the complaint says. It states that a later manager verbally approved one remote day a week, and that the worker moved to full-time remote work when the COVID-19 pandemic began.

The dispute, as the complaint tells it, began with the bank's return-to-office push. In early 2022, according to the filing, staff were told to come back in person. The worker - then 57 - asked to work from home four days a week. The complaint alleges his supervisor turned him down because it would be "too much trouble" for the bank, despite his having handled the full role remotely throughout the pandemic.

The request resurfaced, the filing says. After several colleagues resigned in early 2022, the worker took on new duties and, according to the complaint, received a retention bonus that April. When he asked again for four remote days, the complaint says, the supervisor agreed and told him no formal accommodation paperwork was necessary.

The complaint then lays out a run of setbacks. It says the worker was told he was not eligible for a promotion because the candidates had already been chosen. It says the bank brought two people in their early thirties onto the New York Markets team in October 2022. And it alleges that when the bank expanded into securities lending and financing, the worker offered to help but was passed over.

The bank ended his employment in 2023, according to the complaint, along with another worker over 40. The filing alleges the bank then hired younger, non-disabled replacements who did not need a remote-work accommodation.

Just got my isp package it’s it way less than the vsp offer I got. Anyone else get the same? I’m contacting a lawyer

If you were laid off from Oracle in Ontario during the recent rounds: does anyone have recommendations for a good employment lawyer?

I’ve heard former colleagues are getting lowballed on their packages, so I want to get a professional review before signing anything.

Oracle is brutal -> I know a IC who just got laid off from Dell with 20+ years was offered 55 weeks and is still negotiating more with a lawyer, so I suspect there's room to push back.

And was on an approved leave of absence is that legal has anyone ever heard this happened before ?

Best line Ive heard in ages, "Oracle is a law firm masquerading as a software company".

Post here if you are NRE and have your Assessment feedback scheduled before August 15th. How close are you to retirement and what do you plan to do? Is this your first or second in 5 years? If your first and you have more than 1 year to go, is it worth it? Is it time to band together for a Class Action Lawsuit?

When I was job seeking out of college my recruiter said "apply to DST last". Its the last place you want to go. Well I ignored the recruiter and went to DST. He was right. It was a poor option. Then ti have DST flub up the Cundiff/pension plan and get into a lawsuit....very bad form.

Anyone ever lawyer up against this deplorable company?

Is there an avenue to file a class action lawsuit against EchoStar on behalf of all the affected since 2025? Something Charlie wouldn’t expect would be a smoking g-n, and hit him where it hurts: the spectrum money he has stashed?

Like, some ominous but effective case. Example: in this film The Firm, the whistleblower simply filed “wire fraud” as the case.

Let’s start the talk here. I believe these are the types of billionaires that are meant to fall from the sky. Charlie is a mean, egomaniacal person who enjoys rising above while watching people below him suffer.

Let’s align and discuss possibilities here.

Why do some announce they are retiring but you can tell it seems forced? Does upper leadership tell these people they are being laid off and then lie to everyone about the real reason? I have seen this in at least 4 people in the last year. At first I thought confidence but it doesn’t make sense, especially with departure date. Anyone have insight? How is it legal to let someone say they are retiring when they are really being laid off?

CWA Canada is criticizing Microsoft's recent layoffs at Bethesda Game Studios Montreal. Approximately a dozen union members were terminated in a brief video call, denied the opportunity to ask questions. These employees will receive pay for eight weeks while staying home. This incident is part of a larger wave of 3,200 job cuts across Xbox. The union plans to pursue legal and contractual actions to defend its members.

How do they get away with this again and again? Too many people over 40 were cut once again and very few under that age. How's that okay? Not only that, how's that even legal?

Is anyone actually required to pay back severance if they get hired at a new company? That’s how the contract reads as to me

I happen to be having a great year in sales and may finish FY26 at 350+%. Can Cisco legally re-goal me in order to reduce the commissions paid out to me? If so, can this be successfully fought through legal means? I live in NY State.

This was mentioned obliquely in other posts, but I wanted to get it into the title of this post. The NJ WARN Act requires that certain employers (including Verizon) provide 90 days' notice of layoffs if the company is laying off 50 people or more. If Vz Wireless is laying off 50 or more in NJ, and you are a New Jersey employee laid off on June 16 and were told your last day is in August, they are in violation of the law and they have to give you until September 14 which is 90 days from June 16th.

In early Feb 2026, NYU Langone Hospitals sued Mutual of America's comprehensive health plan over a labor complaint. In 2021, an employee gave labor, and Mutual of America didn't pay the hospital over $22K for the health & care of the newborn baby.

the hospital was in the network but talks broke down & mutual would not budge. this created an extreme amout of anxiety & consternation for several parties.

A U.S. judge has refused to stop Meta Platforms from proceeding with layoffs affecting 26 employees. These workers claim the company used AI tools to unfairly target them for job cuts due to disabilities or medical leave. The judge stated the employees did not demonstrate irreparable harm to warrant an emergency injunction. Meta denies wrongdoing and asserts human decision-making in the layoff process. The company is in the midst of reducing its global workforce by approximately 10%.
