I was laid off in July and my last day is 9/30. I have my non-working period through October. Can anyone advise who has experienced this before when I may expect the severance payment?

We've hired 500+ H1Bs in first 8 months of 2026. All while we laid off 1000s of Americans. I've posted the source below, it's from dpt of labor, but H1BHQ.com lets you search it - will run analysis on the numbers and will reply to this post... — read more 

Government has clearly mandated with a rule that if they layoff an American protected worker (Citizen, Permanent Resident) and they keep on hiring and promoting H1Bs fines in millions are incoming. If actions are believed to deviate from the... — read more

With all the cr-p management are pulling we should unionize!

Train still stalled?

Just confirmed on C15 level in a meeting, so unless you guys want to be on a PIP better adhere to it because your manager will land in hot water for it, and there is nothing managers hate more than taking responsibility for their employees.

Is it happening again today? I was impacted last week.

Ever since they rolled out this pos seat booking workplace app, I often wonder the brains behind this. The problem was bad earlier with people just booking (and blocking) even if they are not coming. But with RTO, there is no space left to book. What... — read more

What a joke. I'm fine with the 3-day RTO enforcement, but not counting holidays as in-office is a kick in the teeth, for sure. The corpo-rat doublespeak is glaring. Sure, "we are proud of the flexibility of our hybrid model," BUT here are a lot of... — read more

Does anybody know what the impacts were to the Florence site? It has been shrinking so much, I wonder how much longer it will be before it is closed.
