#severance

We literally can't function with what we have left. I guess they'll now overload us with work until we quit. Save them money on severance. I can't think of another reason why they'd do something like this.

My manger said people are getting 60 days. Is this in addition to the 2 weeks per year or just the minimum? Also, if you quickly find a job, is WF cutting off the severance or paying out to end? Love working here and hope I don’t get displaced.

anyone from IDC got laid off? what is the severance package ? is there any opportunity to look for internal jobs?

As the title says, If you were laid off recently in the US (and my condolences if this was the case), what did your severance package look like and how did they handle healthcare insurance?

Anyone else on severance and knows how to successfully update your direct deposit accounts without calling? Yes, I’ve looked through the paperwork and can’t locate this option on the abbreviated version of teamworks. Thanks!

Anyone know what the current package is for Ireland ?

Anyone know the latest on severance payout and if/when it changes? Asking for... all the friends

This mainly applies to tech and lower management roles. If you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and an H. -1. B colleague in the same role wasn't laid off, you may be eligible for additional severance or have grounds for legal action due to policy violations.
All you need is your manager's / second line's hierarchical Organization chart screenshot. You can also have some proofs of screenshots from git repositories to prove you have checked in code as same level as the H. -1. b candidate or performed similar activity as H. -1. b candidate if management. Ensure you are not laidoff due to your performance ratings.

I was told that you get severance if you at least had “meets” on your review(s) and you were laid off. I was also told you do not get severance if you had a bad review and/or were fired with cause. Is this true?

I recently found out they'll be doing more layoffs at KTD and probably GO soon. I know for sure CIS and Product will get hit hard. I hope you get your severance!

Has anyone been successful in obtaining a severance package through the appeal process of the Severance Plan Administrator?

I have been mapped to a third party and received an offer letter. The description is vague however the responsibilities are objectively much greater than my position at Wells.

The handbook states if job is not comparable then severance package is warranted.

HR insider told me that they are not done yet. They just don’t have enough HR personnel to complete them all as fast as they would like. Severance is lamentable - 1 week per year of service is a joke!

Get Ready, no bonus for you this year, then expect a call from you smart career counsellor around november 1st week and you will have a great thanksgiving because you will be thrown out of the window of ACN

This place is a disaster and is not going anywhere but straight down to the bottom of the ocean. Just a bunch of incompetent bench warmers just pretending to work for an underpaid salary. Would rather use that time for something productive instead of pretending to work and dealing with the BS at this company

I was let go this week. How long I have to sign the severance agreement?

Recently let go.

If I get a consulting/contract gig, can I maintain my WF insurance during the duration of the severance period?

Anyone else filling like they should have taken the package. On the verge of just putting my two weeks in. Management sc--wed up big time on this reorg and no transition made the stand up of the new org a damn mess. End of the day leadership will not take accountability but will continue to get fat bonuses. Almost so horrible all you can do is laugh at this point.

I'd quit, but jobs are hard to come by and my savings are not that great. Getting a package would solve that issue for me.

Where can I check?

Was covering cobra premiums part of severance?

Get ready to unlock more “‘synergies” when this deal closes. I’ll take a severance

Recent laid off employee here.

there is no valid "justification" for NOT offering a VWO with a PROFIT of $2.18 BILLION in the 1st quarter ending June 30th...

Laid off based out of Charlotte. Been here for 14 years. I am non working till October 2025. Haven’t signed the severance yet as my mental health tanked after the news. How much my severance will be? Any other advice on how to deal with severance and other pointers regarding layoffs will be helpful.

Is there anyone who is hoping they get an ISP Monday? I don’t know how much longer I can handle this clown show.

I was laid off, and I don’t have regrets. I’d been bracing for this, the anxiety had been building for a while, so in some ways, it feels like a relief. I’m also grateful it gave me the push I needed to start looking elsewhere. I stayed at Oracle too long, became complacent, and lost sight of other possibilities. Staying in one place for too long isn’t great for self-confidence or professional growth, especially with how companies have been operating over the past decade. The job market is tough, but here’s hoping I prove I’m tougher.

Good luck to the rest of you, and don’t let yourself fall under the psychological pressure the corporate environment, and especially layoffs, can create. There are always other options, and other opportunities to prove to yourself that you’re good at what you do.

Everyone is choosing 11/21 as their exit dates with some being Q12026! Chances are 9/26 WILL BE the exit date for the majority 90% of the folks, as Q3 ends and they start Q4 clean and less overhead.

October and November 21 dates are a pipe dream.

What are you all hearing /experiencing?

Ok so I'm in severance after thankfully being offered the vrp. I just received a notice from fidelity that the took an overpayment from my hsa in the amount of 37.11. Call if you did not authorize this. Some to both fidelity and pay and benefits. Nobody can give me a straight answer. 2 tickets have been opened. That can't confirm an overpayment, don't know how much it is but feel they won't take any more money. Also stated it was an error that effected 24k employees. Ok, all of my hsa is pre tax $. My pre tax dollars. I have consistently had the same amount which I specified for 2025. First this is a violation of nys labor law. Gotta go call the department of labor now and file a formal complaint.

Keep your resume polished and LinkedIn updated because opportunities can appear out of nowhere. Start building a solid emergency fund, ideally six months to a year of living expenses, so you aren’t scrambling if things go south. Try to avoid major purchases and trim unnecessary spending now, even small savings add up. And if the worst happens, use any severance wisely, take a breather, and give yourself time to regroup. Staying organized and calm can make a stressful situation much more manageable.

ive been here since STK. been working from home the last 5 years. Hardware service calls have dropped a ton. Took a service call Maybe once per month. Was planning on retiring at the end of the year. Mad as he-l that they picked me off. BUT if I left at the end of the year, i would have walked away without severance. This way I got the package. I wanted to leave on my own terms. Still Mad!!!

What a great day. I received the call this AM. I heard in my managers voice uncertainty about their own future. What a mess, they have a whole heck of a lot of stuff they need to unwind to get themselves off the firing line. For those who did not want to speak up for me that is OK, I forgive you. I do not feel bad for standing up for myself when I did. Nobody slots me into incorrect alignments and gets away with it. At this point, I appreciate the paid 60 days PTO and severance. I am going to use this as an opportunity to reset my mental health and find a better position for the remainder of my career. Feel free to position these changes as (right-sizing all you want). I have watched for years as you've hired your friends and diversity hires. Thank God those days are over for me. I should have never put up with it in the first place, but with COVID and forced RTO the market contracted making a move a little more elusive than I had hoped. Again! Thank you all very much. This is a weight off my shoulders.

In the severance document at the end, they list the job title and age of the employee who was riffed. 77% were age 40 and older. 23% were less than 40. If that isn't age discrimination on a massive scale, then what is? My role was given to another employee younger, but as experienced as I was. I was not let go for performance reasons. I'm angry and there is nothing in my discipline that I can find online making it even worse to find employment after all these years of service. They gave me almost no notice of the riff. I barely had time to say goodbye to many of my coworkers. I understand if I were old and not able to think, and not able perform my job, but that isn't and wasn't the case here.
Roughly 2% of the 102K employees (slightly less than 2K employees were riffed).
If each employee made roughly $100K (just an off the top average guess) and there were 2000 employees, the company stands to save $200M per year in direct salary costs alone. That figure doesn't include payroll taxes, health insurance premiums, 401K matching contributions which they sc--wed us on as well as they pay it out at the end of the year (and not prorated to my knowledge), they sc--wed me on vacation time that I didn't use earlier in the year to keep the project on track, nor the floater holidays that I didn't take early on but had scheduled my vacation later in the year. Also this doesn't include bonuses (which I didn't get anyway, same with stock options or other benefits. Thus in total I estimate the guys at the top saved closer to $250-280M annually. I guess greed is good for the guys at the top.

This info I from several posters on LinkedIn:
Splunk and General Engineers, Product Data Scientists at Duo, Webex- Product, Engineering and Customer Experience.

👉Other Rumoured impacts: Technical Assistance Center(TAC), Appdynamics, Meraki, Wireless Services, Public Sales/ International.

👉Webex losing ground to Microsoft Teams. Integration Challenges with Sp--k. These two units are described as Death Spiral.

👉Severance is Reportedly Minimal for those with less than 10 years of Service.

Does anyone know if past service years that had a break of more than 5 years count in the ISP severance pay?

I know a lot of us are weighing the EOI decision, and it isn’t easy. But here’s the reality: if you don’t take the EOI and land another role, you won’t receive any severance. On top of that, the Houston move date is essentially locked for July 2026.

For me, the culture here has shifted for the worse, and I don’t believe it’s worth uprooting and relocating. There are plenty of opportunities in the Bay Area worth pursuing instead. That’s why I’ve decided to take the EOI.

To those still on the fence, I truly wish you good luck in whatever path you choose. Just make sure it’s a choice that sets you up best for the future, because staying until July 2026 could mean walking away with nothing.

is there any negotiating with HR with a better severance with company standard. This would be probably related to older workers since finding another position will be difficult if not impossible

It requires not disputing it but gives no way to verify what it is. Is there a way we can check or do should I just wait to sign till after I receive it?

Posting for someone I know who got let go in June but did not receive their PSP last week, which was unexpected since they were still on the payroll post May 31. Was wondering if others experienced this or what the next steps should be?
