Now they are talking about firing, not layoffs anymore. Wellsfargo is super toxic.

My non-working notice ends 2/6 but I noticed on upcoming pay slip dated for 1/30 they paid some of my PTO (60 hours). I had 100 hours left when I was displaced in December, and thought I'd accumulate January/February as well. Should I expect another PTO pay out or did something get miscalculated? Everything thread I've seen on this topic mentioned getting PTO payout after your non-working notice ends but I'm seeing it before my notice ends and it's short. Thanks in advance!

Two of my colleagues were affected few years ago and last year. They both got 2% per year they served in the company. It’s that still a thing or it’s changed because I see a lot of post here in the past regarding severance.

Does anyone know/can comment on whether you will be
"paid or unpaid if you are laidoff - unused accrued PTO in the USA" ?

I just got a communication (I was laid off June) that I will be receiving my bonus at a pro rated rate hence missing last 5 months Dam!!!

Aren’t we supposed to be paid for disaster relief if our store closed for the winter storm? Anyone know? Central NJ today
Our store is giving us the run around

They failed to pay my last salary. I left Dell on my own terms and they haven’t made the last salary payment. Never could I ever imagine I’d have to start a debt collection process against one of the richest companies in the world!

For those that are being WFRd, please check your payments and check that taxes are paid correctly.

I have another degree and certificate but don't wish to work as that for Optum....when they are considering layoffs so they look at your resume and try to offer another job to get out of paying you severance

Will post all other details after I receive the settlement.

The tri state era are allowed to wfh this week. If not, time to find a new job. Not worth it.

Has anyone sought legal advice regarding expats not receiving severance if they decline their job offer? It seems unreasonable to force someone to relocate to a new city. I know the company’s stance is assumed mobility but do external lawyers agree with that?

O lost the lawsuit & as EX CA based employee in Support / DEV, I got a surprise check for $$$. Do check your Mail & update if you got a check

What’s the deal with retail branches with this winter storm. I’m in an area that got over 12” of snow. And then freezing rain on top of it. Are they going to make us to go in? Who is coming out of their houses in this subzero weather to the branch?

Because Amazon has weak management and poor hiring practices. Extra points for the silent firing of disabled employees, denying them appropriate work from home accommodations.

I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but with the job market the way it is right now, it isn’t unrealistic to expect that people laid off today won’t find new positions anytime soon. If we’re being kicked to the curb, the least they could do is provide a better safety net.

I was moved to another company on paper but still do the same job for the original company, report to the same managers, use the same systems, and was told this affects severance and unemployment.

So if you have frontier Internet and Verizon wireless, and you are an employee..you are excluded from discount.

Thanks..fking aholes.

How do they communicate the severance agreement? Personal email or what? I know my coworker was laid off in November and lost immediate access to computer. So how do they communicate the info?

I have thought about this. If I get the layoff call, I will not be speaking on the call, I will type in the chat only. I am not giving them that final satisfaction of hearing my voice ever again or any of my emotions.

Can someone explain the differences in what you are offered if you take the VRP vs what you get if laid off?

Has anyone heard if there will be an option to express interest again to leave with severance anytime soon? That is with 2 weeks for every year of service?

Salary workers…. Did you get your post increase in January 1st?
WA state minimum wage went up meaning the minimum a salary worker can make in WA state as of Jan 1 2026 raised to $80,168.40 annually. It’s weird the focus was on layoffs and we didn’t get our increase
I will be contacting a lawyer and LNI

Any announcements? What is the severance like if let go?

Former TikTok content moderators in the UK are suing the company. They allege TikTok engaged in union busting tactics. Layoffs reportedly occurred just before a scheduled union vote. TikTok denies these claims, citing AI-driven restructuring for efficiency. The lawsuit highlights tensions over tech worker protections and automation.

This week it is official, I will be unemployed for the first time in my life. I've sent out a few applications but I'm nervous. December crew- how did the timing work for vacation payouts and severance, have you gotten your money yet?

In the title but just wondering if they kick you out right away if going to a competitor (even if you give a 2 week notice). Want to see if they would pay you out for those weeks regardless.

Belk is seriously cracking down on managers having any hourly position working off the clock. That includes keeping hourly associates waiting to leave at store closing in the evening once clocked out. so once your hourly associates have clocked out they are free to leave. , even if it’s only a 5 minute wait. Also, hourly associates can’t be required to work past scheduled time, if their schedule says an 8pm end shift, that’s when they are free to leave and nothing can be done about it, RVP and HRBP won’t back you up on this.

20 Billion dollar deal negotiated, lots of conditions and agreements to include employment guarantees for Frontier employees, and DEI considerations.

How will this affect future non-union employee layoffs going forward?

The retention bonus should be paid back if the termination was voluntary by the employee. But I was fired. So, do I need to repay it?

Anyone has retention bonus agreement from 2024?

Sue them, report to EEOC, get more severance pay, it’s your rights!

The facility I work at still pays us for 7 holidays, but only gives us the day off for 3 of them: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day.

Is this the new normal for everyone in Pharma?

Ex-Schwabbie here. If you are dissatisfied with work conditions, pay, treatment from leadership I would highly encourage you to check out the NLRA. It gives private sector non-supervisory employees the right to discuss such issues on social media, teams, a huddle, or even a screen saver. These are rights guaranteed regardless if you are part of a union or not. Check out the definitions of concerted activity. You have the right to bring up these questions and concerns to your leaders. If they retaliate then you have yourself a very strong legal case. Retaliation includes your work (phone calls) being more scrutinized than that of your peers. There is a reason Schwab doesn't train you on the NLRA.

Hello-
I'm lucky enough to have found myself another opportunity and trying to determine what is the last date I need to be employed to get my bonus.

What happens when you’re not available the day they send out the meeting invites?

I'm wondering if there'd been any changes.

Hi, all. I was wondering if BNY discloses reasons for termination to a new employer (also a bank) during the background check. I was told that legally previous employer can only share / verify dates of employment and title. But is there a possibility of this information being shared whether it's by phone or some type of system? Thank you.

I will remind everyone that according to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, your employer has an obligation to ensure your safety in your job.

Can anyone argue that these buildings in the major cities where PNC has office space (Pittsburgh, Philly, Detroit, Columbus, Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago, etc) have gotten SAFER post Covid, post summer 2020? Look at the data - it's gotten way worse.

Another employee right we must all seek is for our own safety. That would be a strong pillar of a unionization effort. Can you imagine if the current Minneapolis situation was occurring nearby a PNC office building. It could certainly happen.

Will PNC care about us then? Likely, no - "get your butts back here 5 days / week!"

I have received another offer and plan on leaving. However, I want to ensure I still get my bonus. What are the rules around that and when should I put in my notice? I obviously can’t ask HR or my boss this type of question…

Do you still need to work and hand off all your projects while you're still on payroll?
