How does the severance policy handle heath insurance benefits? It used to be that health insurance was provided for the entire sub-pay period. How about now with the lump-sum payment?

I am applying for anything that looks halfway decent and hoping things improve by the end of the month. BNY is a mess, and everyone knows it. Throughout my career, I have worked at several banks, and while none were perfect, I can confidently say I... — read more
How can BNY be allowed to force rank good employees and lable them low performers to avoid severance. Not ethical, such fu--ing bullsh-t.
Also, including and adding folks to the list that have met performance but at the bottom of that category. What a joke this is, and any of the minion managers that just agree and don't fight back, your day will come too.
Permanent Work From Home
I heard that any employees that have some form of exception will be asked back with a 90 day period in March. If non compliant the position will close out. Also 4 days a week is coming soon for all employees.
The job market is brutal
Lost my job here a month ago. Got maybe 2 interviews out of 100 apps and havent landed a offer. Anyone else going through the same boat?

If middle management and below can be outsourced...
...why can't senior management, including the CEO position? Surely, there are competent CEO types offshore who will do the job for much less than the local 'talent'?
