A lot of VPs have described the VSP as a talent refresh. What chances do some of us stand to move to different positions via promotion post VSP in September?

Those who pushed the button wait to see if they were accepted and what their off payroll date will be. Those who are sticking around wait to see who leaves, how much more work they’ll pick up, and whether or not they’ll be laid off. Waiting sux! — read more

If I’m refused, then get RIFed, am I getting that famous enhanced package?

Is it true there were layoffs on 7/19? Is it true Value had impacts?

Heard there were major org changes announced today. Anyone have any details? Who is moving where?

Yeah. I’m that broke.

Is this true? I’m surprised, frankly. We can expect massive RIFs immediately afterwards in order to meet cost-cutting targets. Is there some not so obvious reason people are not taking VSP? I want to take it, now I’m wondering if there’s something I... — read more

How long between your last paycheck and the vsp or pension payment?

Does anyone from MA know if unused personal days are paid out? Or anyone from the 2018 VSP out there from MA that remembers if they did?
