Hey, Comcasters! Let's help each other out. List your best tips, tricks, or advice for on what to do to maximize Comcast benefits before being laid off.

• For example, Flex Days and Floating Holidays are not paid out, but vacation days are. So, use your Floating Holidays first, then your Flex Days, and save your vacation days for last.

• Also, take advantage of your EdAssist educational benefit, which provides up to $8,000. According to the PDF, you become ineligible on the day you are notified of your layoff, so be sure to submit your request before you receive notice.

So, now people have six weeks. No carryover to next year.

Lots of people lost a lot of accrued PTO, which would have been paid out.

Btw, starts 10/1, and if you’ve already used six weeks, but have more time off scheduled, your manager has dispersion to take it away.

For the first time since i started i have used my pto and sick time. I have about 32 hrs left fir 2026. What if i need and extra day or two? Do i go in the red and it is deducted when new time is alloted in the new year or will it just not accept my time off request? My requests get automatically approved. I guess my manager has it setup thst way if that is possible. Not sure about that, so not sure if it will auto approve and balance in the new year or deduct.

If I am sick or take PTO one day a week, do I still come in three days or are two days ok?

When a layoff occurs does it come from your direct manager, senior manager, or Human Resources?Is it during a one on one meeting? How do they determine severance depending on band level, if offered at all? What happens to any unused accrued time off after a layoff notification has happened? Do they give a 30 day notice? Lots of questions, thanks.

How are you notified if you're on PTO?

hey everybody, so I know a friend who walks dogs with a person that has a casual friend that they get coffee with sometimes who once went on vacation with somebody but they’re now friends who knows someone who became a VP at fidelity and they were talking about P shares. They said the P shares cash-in in June, but that was very confusing. How do they award shares in December and then they cash-in in June most all the other shares cash in on a yearly basis and payout in March, can someone help me understand that?

please, sarcastic, off-topic, humorous responses only

Just wanted to check, will there be any more changes to the pto policy going forward? Is there a max limit on how many days can be used for a bereavement leave? Is there a vesting schedule for our bereavement days? Is it based on length of service? Do we accrue at different rates based on the relation of the family member (parent vs grandparent)?

I am curious. On the day of your 60 day working notice, Do you get your final check and PTO earned. Then severance starts 2 weeks later?

There is a rumor around the Irving office saying that the hybrid model will be shifting on October 1st to 3 days a week (not new) but also have 8 hours a day minimum counted and holidays and PTO would no longer count as in in office day.

Anyone else hear similar?

I'm one of the folks who will lose their job in 90 days. I'm in Merchant Solutions in Credit Risk. Bunch of folks got hit in Risk Monitoring, Underwriting and HRHV.

We got asked to be in a meeting at 3pm with Tony O (he's below Lyndon). We were told that our jobs are being transferred to offshore because of a) want 18 hours of coverage and b) for lower pay. We're losing our jobs to to India. What bullsh-t.

We are getting severance, however they had the audacity to tell us that we cannot use too much PTO or our 15 days of WFH. I asked if we're getting unused PTO in our severance and was told "it's on a case by case basis"

Who else is impacted today?

Plan to resign soon. Can I cash out carry over vacation from last year?

I’ve resigned and last day is coming up. I have 12 days of PTO accrued through my end date. Does Wells pay that with my final paycheck or separately? Don’t trust these people at all. I’m in NC if it makes a difference.

Who thought it was a bright idea to cut field guys PTO. Now it’s not even close to our peers. There’s guys that help coach kids sporting events and do travel sports. And that’s where most their PTO goes and maybe a hitch off in the summer for an actual vacation. Nope not now. Going to be real fun explaining to wife and kids, dad can no longer can do those things anymore. Just fantastic.

My friend got laid-off on Tuesday. Worked 12 hour days, managed her team in several parts of the country, always got an exceeds. Rarely took time off. Single mom with 3 little girls in school. Don't waste your time climbing corporate the ladder, spend time with your family, take your PTO.

No raises. No promotions. PTO requests denied. Such a great place to work.

If you get laid off in January, would you be paid any carryover days from prior year? I think I might get laid off in January and have a lot of days left. I don’t want to use them, I rather get the payout next year if possible

Can we use remaining sick time during the two week notice? Do we get paid out remaining vacation time?

I have worked for other companies that had a national presence and never had different levels of pto, wellness, and carry over. Isn’t this discriminatory?
Frankly since the fearless and clueless leaders get unlimited pto - I’m sure they don’t give a rats a**.

Can we carpool?
Can anyone share the severance plan?
Can I buy PTO out of the benefits enrollment period?
What will my bonus be?
What is up with RTO?
Does anyone have dirt to share with the news?
😏

Can we buy PTOs middle of the year?

Anyone else's PTO paused during all the winter holiday months? 90 days?

I’ve been hearing rumors that they will be getting rid of unlimited PTO and going back to the traditional PTO system we had in the past. Is there any truth to this?

Like you never left.

All PTO
If 401k immediately vested employer contributions you get that back too.

☕ Coffee? Check.
📅 Calendar? Check.
😰 Existential dread? Check.
👔 Manager + HR meeting? Oh… sh-t.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow as we gather for that very special corporate tradition known as “Career Roulette Thursday.”

Remember, no matter what happens, your company has a carefully prepared plan for your future…

…it just may not include you. 😂

And somewhere in India or the Philippines, someone is already polishing their résumé.

May the odds, the severance, and your remaining PTO be ever in your favor. 🍀

I am 100% virtual employee. Can I work from International location? I have asked my manager and he said no. I would like to visit Australia and work from there for a month instead of using my pto. Has anyone tried to take the laptop outside rhe country like on a cruise or anything like that?

I was let go in April due to a RIF A colleague of mine was let go in March. Same organization and same state we are out of (Georgia). Re both non-management exempt employees…were anyways. How about I found out his manager got his PTO paid out! Whereas I didn’t get any PTO because I didn’t know it was an option for my manager to possibly work it out with HR to have it paid out (or added to the severance). I am livid as I would have fought for this if I’d known it was an option!! Just be aware if you are in one of the states that doesn’t have to pay out PTO…fight for it anyways! I have reached out to HR complaining about this But of course I’m sure absolutely nothing will come of it Smdh!!!

For decades, Edward Jones’ home office compensation and benefits have been well below average. 20% below-market salaries and bonuses; terrible health benefits; stingy PTO; a pathetic $500 401(k) match. Although there’s a heavily-trod path of young people passing through for a couple years just to get licensed before departing to greener pastures, the firm’s always managed to keep enough people aboard with stability, work/life balance, and other pleasantries. Now that the niceties have been dispensed with, and there’s creepy, grubby tinkering with partnership stakes, what’s left to attract and retain talent? Food days, balloons, accolades scrawled on construction paper with gold star stickers, and the other dog and pony show fluff don’t cut it. FAs and their clients, not to mention the rest of the world at large, are trading in money, not fairy dust. Management shouldn’t be surprised when existing and prospective home office talent turns out to be the same way.

It's difficult to tell when the next large surplus event will happen, We've heard rumblings that something will happen around the next 30-60 days. Keep in mind that there seems to be defined strategy as to who is being selected for surplus during the June-July lay-offs I was taken 100% by surprise when it happened to my team, 4 people were let go and 2 of those held top 10 rankings for YTD sales performance across the entire organization -the common denominator was that 3 of the 4 were the oldest and most tenured members of the team. The best thing you can do is max out your 401K as much as possible, and figure out a way to balance your PTO -as you'll be paid for any earned unused PTO, keep up to date on your health, medical, dental, and vision, and manage all the reimbursement and award account credits money you can in order to squeeze every dollar from T that you can. Also network internally and externally to help position yourself if you are surplussed, most of the people that I know who've been laid-off and found work quickly did so through networking, contacts and referrals rather than head-hunters, or resume blasts. The surplus model is to serve you notice with 12-14 or so days left in the month with a surplussed employee's last day on payroll being the first of that next month where you'll keep all of your insurances until the end of that month, then go on COBRA or Medicare if you have no other options. Any severance less about 30% in Fed, SS, Medicare taxes will be paid out around the closest pay-cycle date 45 days from when you sign your letter.

Bumped from @a9+1kzycbrxv.

Can anyone confirm if carryover vacation is paid out when you quit?

Is it paid out with severance or separately? Actually, is it paid out al all?

I’ve been VTOing and requesting PTO in my IEX for the last 2 past weeks. Centene has really stressed me out. I don’t feel like clocking in or participate in my weekly team meetings. Supervisors and team lead states there’s nothing to worry about and to not stress. I call bullsh-t. They been on my di-k cause my stats/metric have changed recently, my AHT is higher than usual and I’m overly annoyed their slick a-s comments about my performance. Is anyone else experiencing major micromanaging issues? Enough is enough, at this point I’ve applied for FMLA because I can’t take handle the energy and fake empathy from my supervisor.

Hello. Does anyone know if you leave the company you still would be entitled to your AIP in March? I am hearing different information regarding this. Also the company does pay us out for PTO and my manager is an absolute tyrant when it comes to asking for time off. Will have have to forefeit all my PTO if I decide to leave!?

I can't find anything in the employee handbook about PTO payout rules...... which makes me think Centene's gonna let it defer to state payout rules. If they can weasel out of paying employees their dues they prob will.

I can only assume:

• PTO won't be paid out
• Sick won't be paid out
• Personal vesting schedule at the time of one's termination holds true (I worked at a company 8 years ago that fully vested anyone they laid off.....man, those were the days!)

If I'm on the chopping block then I don't wanna leave anything on the table. So what do you think, do I feel a cold coming on? Did my in-laws surprise me and the wife with cruise tickets? lmao

USE ALL OF YOUR PTO AND SICK TIME WHILE YOU CAN!

Unfortunately, I live in a "use it or lose it" state. I have 120 hours of sick time and 66 hours of PTO that I need to use within the next two weeks. To make matters worse, my PL said we're not allowed to request time off during the first and last weeks of August and the beginning of September because those weeks are blocked by the company. This literally only leaves the week of 8/10 & 8/17 to use it and with sick time, i would need a drs note for anything more than 3 days smh...

It really su-ks. That's a lot of earned time—and a lot of money—I may end up leaving on the table.

Wondering if they'll pay PTO if we live in States where it's mandated? Anyone has thoughts, experience, or comments on this?

Do they revoke access to everything immediately? Since it happens (usually) on Monday mornings do you have to work the rest of the week or do you get to use PTO?

I was just told that to receive the vsp, you MUST be working the full two weeks before your separation date. So if you have any pre-approved pto in the system already, they will expect you to change those dates….or appeal (somehow).
