#noticeperiod

Can I take another job if I’m in my non working notice period before lay off?

Layoffs resume 1/6/26.

The IRS is moving about 1,000 IT employees out of its tech shop, as part of a reorganization plan that’s been underway for months.

Impacted employees say they have few details about what work they’ll be doing, and have been told by the agency to instead “focus on completing an orderly transition of your current work.” The notice they received last week states that they will no longer be working on IRS IT projects.

Seeing conflicting things around how long I need to stay to get bonus paid out. I'm an L9 looking to put in 2 weeks notice in the New Year. To get my bonus, do I have to work through 12/31 this year or through the actual payout date?

For now at least, this hub is still hanging around. We will ditch the DTV space and move a couple of miles down the road. The new building looks fairly nice but I’m sure they will ruin it by cramming us all into an open plan that makes concentration impossible. No date given but since they sent notice have to believe it will be in the next couple of months at most.

Confused on what the last day is if you are apart of the lay offs. I was told the 20th and now it’s the 31st. Which is it?

Will they really let people go 2 days before Christmas?

Superintendent Frankie Alvarado will present a notice of potential administrator layoffs to the Douglas County School Board. Trustees will discuss and potentially act on this notice on Thursday. The district faces a significant deficit due to declining enrollment. The district also reported a negative ending fund balance in its 2025 audit. School Board President Yvonne Wagstaff will address past Open Meeting Law violations.

Layoffs have been announced in the next few months.

The state Department of Labor reported potential layoffs affecting 832 employees at a school bus yard in Mount Vernon and 885 more in Brooklyn.

Who has received notice?

The culture and new management in this company have become so toxic that I cannot stand it anymore, and I am planning my exit. I know some employees have left to non-competitors and they were still put on garden leave, but does that happen to everyone? Have there been situations where the whole notice period needs to be served?

Handed in my two weeks notice on Friday. How long until they cut off my access to Email, share point etc…?

Emails to be sent Monday morning. Layoffs to occur Tues and Wednesday.

Apparently the board will sign off on budgets next week (Dec 2nd etc).

Should we expect more departures, or will they wait till the holiday season is over?

NEW U.S. SEPARATION PAY PLAN
Introducing a new BNY U.S. Separation Pay Plan (to replace U.S. Supplemental Unemployment Benefit Plan (SUB Plan))
This February we are transitioning from BNY's U.S. Supplemental Unemployment Benefit Plan (SUB Plan) to a new BNY U.S. severance plan (Separation Pay Plan). The transition will simplify severance, align it with industry standards, and provide more flexibility for employees whose roles are eliminated.
The Separation Pay Plan provides financial and healthcare support for eligible employees during career transitions. The key changes will be:
Severance payments will be made as a lump sum (rather than installments).
For employees enrolled in BNY healthcare coverage at notification, an additional lump sum payment will be included as part of the severance package. This will be calculated based on the amount that BNY would have contributed to healthcare benefits for the severance period (with a cap at 20 weeks).
• There will generally be a 30-day notice period during which active pay and benefits continue (previously 2 weeks).
• Severance will not stop or need to be repaid if an employee obtains a new job outside of BNY.
Guidance on Severance Calculations
Eligible employees may receive severance pay equal to the greater of 2 weeks of base pay per year of service (no change from previous plan), or minimums shown in the chart below, with a maximum benefit of 52 weeks of base pay. Separation Pay Plan benefits are subject to the requirement of a fully executed and effective release of claims. All Separation Pay Plan payments are taxable and subject to wage withholding.

VTeamers do not get too comfortable if your job is saved this time around… round 2 is coming sooner than you can think of, End of March to early April i am hearing from a realiable source details are being ironed out. The frontier merger should be finalized before Feb 16th and at that point frontier has 20k employees and they are all not cutting cut, i heard verizon can only cut a maximum 50% of their employees to avoid legal ramifications, that means we will have an additional 10k employee cut again in late spring! If you Don’t believe me ask your direct manager if there is a second round coming soon that was something discussed with them once they had already gave the notice to employees who would be impacted, they had a second meeting with their leaders to debrief. You can also go back and check their calenders yesterday you can clearly see their calenders match at a certain point….

Does anyone know when the severance payment is going to be made for folks in the class of 11/6?

I am fortunate NJ provides protection that requires VZ to keep me on the payroll a bit longer.

Would it make sense to increase our 401(k) contributions for the almost two months in 2026 we get paid in NJ so we get more of the VZ 6% match? Or am I overthinking things?
