#equipment

Hearing through muiltiple HR associates and IT that a lot of layoffs coming this week.

A lot of additional packing supplies have been ordered for equipment returns according to IT

Last yr I got a used laptop with 1 yr left before retirement. Retired dat was in August 2026 then changed to October 2026 and again changed to January 2027 now. Over the summer their was an influx of interns getting brand new laptops while seasoned employees get the cr-p technology. Has anyone experienced this and why would they keep extending the end of life of a laptop when it’s out of warranty???

I got laid off last week, like most of my team. I was 100% remote and don't have a hub or big office or anything (other than branch stores) anywhere near me. How do I return my equipment? None of the paperwork or emails I've received have said anything about it. I'd call my former boss, but she also got laid off! I don't have the contact info for her former boss, and who knows if he's still around since our entire hierarchy was restructured. I know if I just keep everything it can cause me to lose severance, but they gave me no guidance!

Did anyone get an email reminder to return their equipment well AFTER they already returned it?

Any one not return all their equipment after leaving. I returned my ID and laptop and grimy mouse and keyboard but keeping everything else like docking station and monitors to sell as a last middle finger. Don’t even care if i get $20. Already received last pay check what else can they do. Also all the equipment I had was during Covid when they told us to take it home and wait to return to office but never did so it was never registered or noted.

I still have yet to receive any communication from IT for equipment return despite adding in my personal email before leaving as instructed. I called HR 2x asking and they just direct me to IT (who is outsourced and had no idea of the lay-off when I asked them about not receiving an email about equipment return). Also, no one has responded to the envelope they are supposed to send for any hard copy materials to be returned. Anyone else experiencing this?

Did you return all your equipment when you left? I was remote and I have a monitor, tons of cords, laptop, headset, safe cards, badge, and a laptop backpack. Kinda wanna keep the backpack and badge. Can I? The instructions in the box says nothing about the badge

when I received the emails, I filled out both the links for the cellular company own device and the link for the laptop. I have not received anything back yet. I’ve called Centene Help Desk IT four times with four different tickets and now I’m calling today and they are literally hanging up on me. Is anybody else experiencing this? I’m ready to give this company their equipment back ASAP. Why are they making it so hard? does anybody have a solution to this or is anybody else running into the same thing?

I work in HR and I'm going on the record to anonymously confirm with everyone that 6am emails will be sent starting in the US. I work with a team in California overseeing the layoff process. Approximately 17,000 employees will be impacted globally. Please be aware that a follow up email will be sent to your personal email address on file. And if you haven't updated this email correctly and do not respond to the email sent, you will receive a letter in the mail with 2 weeks after being locked out. Also be aware you are still on the hook for Oracle equipment that must be returned to Oracle.

Love that we're a billion dollar company but can't afford to send electric jacks in each trailer so that my coworkers and I can break our backs hauling your cr-ppy built pallets by hand.

Did you get the email for equipment return? I've seen posts in here talking about how to send equipment back. If you talked to IT are they telling you to send back the dual monitors. I need to get this out of my house 🏠 😩. I

Did you guys get an email about returning equipment. In the post I've seen on here its talking about how to return the computer and docking station. I dont hear anything about the monitors and stands what happens to those? I have no space for this stuff.

Just an FYI. I received email with instructions to return Centene equipment this morning. Email was sent from:
TSS-Central_EquipmentReturns
TerminationsCentralLogistics@Centene.com

Has anyone received their return equipment email??

Does anyone know where we send our laptops if our last day was 9/4? I haven’t seen any instruction.

maybe I’m being impatient, but on the offboarding page it states that on our separation day we will receive an email to our personal email address with the instructions.

haven’t received anything yet. I have had to return equipment before and remember they sent the box to my house, then I went to FedEx, etc.

for those who have gone through offboarding, will this be the same process?

I wonder how long we will have to wait for the VSP to be paid out after 9/4/26. They will require verification of our equipment return first, and it will only be paid out on a regular pay date. It could possibly be a month or more before they pay any of us. Hopefully we will receive our severance packet soon.

What does fidelity care about and not care about as far as giving back equipment? I’m hoping I can keep the monitors, docking station and webcam but obviously won’t steal them. According to the fid central site if equipment is older than they like we can keep it but it doesn’t specify. Anyone know?

What equipment do we return upon resignation? I assume just laptop and charger, but if there are other things, please let me know.

I work for Q, but I hate working here enough to buy its competitor's flagship.

The document says only laptop, power adapter, and Yubi keys need to be returned. Nothing else, right?

My last day was April 10. Should I expect it in about a week? 2 weeks?

In email or mail?

My last day at BNY was a few weeks ago. What would happen if I don’t return a computer monitor that I’ve used for wfh?

For context- they reached out shortly before my last day requesting my address to send a box to return the monitor. I gave my address and had told them they’ll also need to send someone to pick it up. I never heard back and the box recently arrived. I have no intention of physically carrying the box to a local shipping location.

So we have just added to our Crown lifts devices that will not allow you to exceed 6 mph and 4 going in reverse! When approaching something the forklift reduces to 1.5 mph... this is such a terrible idea. Its because people up top have no idea how things really work in a club!

If I take PTO leading up to my last day and return my badge, laptop, and other equipment before that PTO starts, will I still be paid for those PTO days, or would my access be deactivated immediately and my pay stop at that point?

resign from your boring Oracle jobs and pack it all up and move yourself to West Virginia and apply to Coal miners' jobs there. Every coal mine is West Virginia is hiring coal miners right now. These jobs pay high wages and offer excellent benefits, and you can work all the overtime you want to work. You get to work with some pretty cool equipment as a coal miner. The only problem is you have to pass a mandatory and random dr-g tests. Let's face the music about that because a lot of you at Oracle, especially Gen Z's aren't going to pass a dr-g test even if you are d-mb enough to try and fake it.

Since FDS can't manage asset recovery for sht I am grateful for the spanking new machine. Your fault for not locking the BIOS ye tools

Apparently Intel is not following high NA anymore. What a waste of 300m$ equipments

Wondering if I can simply drop it off at Tech stop.

Just ripped my Honeywell thermostat off the wall. Dead on the coldest night of the year. Thanks for nothing

These folks have the ba--s to send me an email telling me they were sending a box for IT equipment. I gave my stuff to a senior manager after my RIF meeting. I have been a model employee, a PEAK Achievement winner, and asked for this stuff a week later. These people are heartless.

soooo what is happening in other districts with DEG technicians and I and R techs!??? we have one job per day if we are lucky, DEG techs are same very slow just taking down old equipment!
Don't get me started on useless air pressure ho-s, all they do all day is sit around in different COs waiting for lunch to see where the specials are!
Lots of us waiting for payout but is anything happening in district 3,9,6?

Anyone else experiencing the delays in receiving the equipment return kit? I was told it would not impact the severance if I'm unable to return the equipment until early January. My last day is today.

As a stranger things fan it’s awesome to work in the COs and see all the equipment from the EIGHTIES still in place and running. I can imagine how cool it must have been to be alive in that time and how shiny that SLC-96/DMS-100 was back then. As an employee, however, it’s completely embarrassing that these machines are still standing in a Fortune 100 multi billion dollar company. But hey, at least I get to work in a museum every day, pretty cool stuff.

Where or how do we return our laptops? Do we initiate it or does our manager?

Or, what monitors do you guys use at home? Any idea what monitors the campus at Frisco uses?

Will employees be expected to turn in concession phones and laptops/computers/monitors, etc? They can't seriously expect 15k+ employees to return equipment. Is there a way to negotiate keeping them? What happens in the event you don't send it back?

Any one have the scoop on why there are hundreds and hundreds of locomotives stored at Donkey Creek Wyoming and Guernsey Wyoming? Why don't they refurbish them, sell them off to another country's railroad, or scrap them out? Seems like the biggest waste i've ever seen!
