#relocation

Most definitely not here. They treat us worse than disposable, and that's already rock bottom. Don't fall for the pay, the promises, or the fear tactics. Your odds of being let go soon after moving are way higher than the move ever working out.

I will be required to move to Plano. Can anyone please provide a moving checklist that you followed? I got kids in school, no home to sell and wife’s job cant be ported.

I am fully remote because the closet pulse point is over 2 hours away.
If I wanted to relocate to another state, but remain more than an hour (or more) from a pulse point, would that be permitted ?

I am anticipating my time to relocate (not sure where) might come anytime. My product has a lifecycle of a few years, but many of team members have relocated and many experienced leaders retired due to age and RTO. My motivation to work is low and minimal human interaction is gutting me.

Should I relocate and hope to switch projects? My spouse is under stressful situations at work too with tons of work and wants to quit if I relocate or become stable somewhere.

I am unable to find work outside T due to various factors (skill gap, unfair RTO demands)

If I relocate,,we will take a major financial hit. What to do? Leap of faith of faith RTO or should I quit?

Is there a specific day we need to let them know if we’re not relocating ? When’s the last day we can milk it if we’re in SR with zero intention of moving ? TIA!!

Panduit Corp. is laying off 178 employees from its DeKalb warehouse facility. These workforce reductions are part of a planned move of operations to Indiana.

Have folks moved from New York or other high-cost locations to Tampa or Irving for Citi? Was there an implication of loyalty for having done so only to now be discarded like trash?

Got let go at another company in similar space on east coast. Willing to relocate for the most part.

US billing and payment is moved to Provo. Did those employees get canned or are they expected to move to Provo?

Did anyone relocate with only T’s salary sacrificing your spouse’s job? How are your families dealing with this huge change, knowing T’s job is still vulnerable?

Given an option, where would you rather go for T? Cu----g, GA or Plano, TX for future greener pastures too

Can’t imagine that this whole company won’t be in TX in 3-5 years. Stop backfilling OKC jobs in OKC and let normal attrition handle 15% of the lift while targeting back office jobs for rolling relocation (IT, HR, Accounting, Legal). Geologists and Engineers will hang on longest as the “center of excellence” but eventually bye bye.

Relocation to a new place will cost spouse’s job. I am unable to land a new job despite having interviews. So RTO seems evident to save my job. Did anyone had to deal with this issue? How did you manage?

Appears that their plan to move people to Edmonton is about to backfill on a listed company that makes billions of dollars every year which is about to fail. So many people have said no to the move that I’ve heard that we have about 200 job openings that they need to fill with key critical roles empty. Plus they don’t even have the licence to start the Edmonton office build yet so YE27 has not chance. So the lack of results , lack for strategic foresight and impact that the long term bottom line; does this make JW and the board NSI?

In the process of relocating to Houston. Looking for a house. Learning that property taxes & insurance are insane in Houston. Seeing >$16k property taxes and >$6k insurance, not including flood insurance. Auto insurance is higher too. Is this normal?

So much money is thrown away in property taxes & insurances here. It seems ridiculous.

Today! Baker has decided to close down the Huntington Beach CWI R&S/Fishing shop.
All shop hands and welder have been laid off and or have an option to relocate up North to Shafter Super center. Admin and field supervisors will work remote. One of the most experience, profitable, hard working and well dedicated team will be no more. A big mistake that will hurt Baker in the long run.

If role gets moved, did you get severance after declining relocation?

I have it on good authority that all offices will be back from April.
S&T will relocate to the Hess tower. Plenty of office space for all.

Expand Energy, formerly Chesapeake Energy, will move its headquarters. The company is relocating from Oklahoma City to Houston, Texas. This move is expected to be completed by mid-2026. Primarily executives will relocate.

What depts move to Houston?

Relocate to Hawaii, all of your medical expenses are covered there, 0 premiums in most cases. You're welcome.

The Arizona Schools for the Deaf and the Blind board voted to move its Tucson campus. The campus will relocate to Oro Valley next school year. The board also approved laying off approximately 70 staff members. Superintendent Annette Reichman cited funding shortfalls and declining enrollment as reasons. Many families and teachers expressed strong opposition to these decisions.

For those of us considering relocating with our families or leaving, which way are you leaning and why? Huge decision but concerns on relocating then getting laid off. How’s the job market in HOU?
Also heard houses aren’t increasing in value as much as locations we are relocating from

Did anyone relocate to Plano or Frisco from out of state after the new campus announcement?

For those that were offered relocation, what were the terms?

How long between relocation acceptance and requirement to show up at new location?
Assume you didn’t actually have to move your residence, correct?
How long do you have to stay with Wells Fargo post relocation?
If you don’t stay the required time, is the payback of relocation $ prorated or is it 100%?

(No need to share $ amounts)

Zipcar will no longer maintain a separate corporate headquarters location at 35 Thomson Place, and the corporate roles based at that location will be eliminated.

Excitement is brewing over the huge Venz Oil possibilities since it holds the worlds largest oil reserves. Temptation to move all assets there could be lucrative. Better make sure any new contract covers overseas relocation and exact wording in new contract for different laws for any country and not just in U, S.A. else that boat could leave without you on board in the near future.

CS really wanted the Head of EMEA job instead of China? Do you think she asked EH when the had the conversation about this? I'd imagine she'd rather move back to the Netherlands verses Shanghai but hey maybe there is a hidden reason that I am not privy to. Let's see. I do wish her the best.

Is this true that corp hq is closing in CT? Maybe moving to another building?

Will hq actually move to Edmonton or will they chicken out?

And if move, who says delayed beyond 2028?

You’re supposed to throw your savings at moving costs, uproot your whole life and your family, just to lose the job a few months later anyway? No chance. This push feels like a strategy to get us to quit. Agreeing to relocate just makes you a more expensive nuisance to cut later. I understand people are holding onto their jobs for dear life right now, but relocating likely won’t save yours. It’ll just add financial ruin to the stress.

I know some people who relocated when their unit got sold who now regret it. I still think it's better to have any job than no job, to be honest.

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?

A friend was offered a promotion with a move recently, and I'll say here what I told him. Even with a promotion, moving for this company is a terrible idea. Layoffs are hitting everyone, and you'd be putting your family through a lot for a job that might not last. I wouldn't do it. In fact, I think it's the stupidest move somebody could make right now.

This is a horrible sign for corporate staff! I have a strong feeling they plan to do mass layoffs prior to 2/2 and that's why they halted the move so suddenly.
Why they didn't figure this out sooner is beyond me. Not much shocks me here though.
