I was let go in December resource action. I’ve since been hired by another company. I’m still receiving my non-working notice paychecks from global. My question is will we still get the lump sump “cobra” payment at the end of 90 day? From what I can... — read more 

I was laid off from GF after nearly a decade of service. This happened 2 weeks before Christmas 2022. For many years I watched as my coworkers came and went. I watched as multiple CEO’s dropped the proverbial ball. I experienced the frustration and... — read more 

I think we should give minimum possible on every question this time. I bet they will still show it better than last time.

I wanted to share my experience after layoff while I am interviewing for jobs. In summary it is terrible to look for job after one is laid off as ever interview is starting with same question. One interviewer asked if I knew it was coming? I replied... — read more

The level 10 director of a team I worked closely with and respected suddenly resigned yesterday. It is very shocking to me, and I think it would be even more shocking for his team. I'm not sure if this is a layoff 2.0.

I think we are all left wondering if there is any future at GF? Personally, I feel strongly in the US/DRS/SGP there is no future. In the US, folks should stick around until mid-March 2023, get their AIP bonus and then leave. The future is very... — read more
