Has anyone heard rumors about an upcoming retirement package offering for those folks over 60?

If you were laid off in this last round and had 36 or more years does Verizon give u any kind of discounts for medical after the severance period runs out

If Robin and his fellow board of ejector directors ruin BNY and run it into the ground, are pensions guaranteed and safe to those who were lucky enough to earn them? What about any medical benefits, 401K or money we paid into? Obviously BNY stock could bottom out but I would think pensions and benefits earned should be safe under the law?

Beginning to think it’s not a question if Robin could do this, but, when?

RIF'd after 29 years with company.
I'm retirement eligible, but there are absolutely ZERO retirement BENEFITS!!
Seriously.....extremely high healthcare costs, and a 25% disc on cell service.
That's an insult to any employee that stuck around this sh---y company for so long!!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR CAREER HERE....LEAVE NOW!!!

Don’t expect me to strike for a contract that fu--s over new members at every turn. I will continue to work BAU. I couldn’t care less about retiree benefits. Meritocracy is the only fair system, seniority doesn’t mean sh-t to me. Take the package and enjoy your pension.

Can someone spill what the Black Friday Deals will be next week? Us retirees want to know!! Might go to visible by Verizon even with the 50% AT&T retiree discount…

If you're RIF'd on Thursday and are retirement eligible, do you still get retirement benefits?

Just one more f you. I am thankful to have a lump sum pension of note (30+ yr employee) but I just lost about 35K.

Can someone tell me why there is no Friends and Family posted on the fall extra discount days. Many of the retirees look forward to it each fall.

Does anyone know how much the folks at BTC actually get paid?
Do they have a compensation levels like us -CLs?
I’m just curious about what kind of arbitrage might exist there.
Also, what sort of retirement and savings benefits do they offer?

Retiree here. Just got my medical bill. It’s doubling. Where due I sign up to work the strike to pay for it??? Just asking

For decades, retirees had a pathetic $3,000 Humankind company match. Now it is suddenly dropped to $2,000. Successful companies actually increase these figures over time. Exxon and Conoco match $5,000, Shell $5,500. Yet another benefit reduction by our dying corp. What goes around comes around.

Can a manager go to a union position before they retire to get union retirees health benefits.

Retiree here. 30+ years in the mines. They told me my medical benefit credits would have some inflation indexation. But the competitive benefit landscape doesn’t include that, so… it’s gone! Thanks 3M! I wonder if the C-suite guys ever lose any of their Bennie’s…

Is anyone else having trouble getting their pension lump sum ? Delayed now 3 months and counting... is the fund insolvent ?

Does anyone know of a Ford Salary Retiree Group? In case I get let go I would like to consult those who have had to work through the HR systems to get retiree benefits. Also need to know how to perform Roth conversions from 401K.

Unfortunately that ship has sailed the union leadership messed up years ago.That ship has now sailed !!!!Lets face it the best you can hope for is an agreement that can cap it at some point but Verizon will not roll back the current cap .So right now prepare for $600 month for pre Medicare cost .Lets face it we sold our soul years ago.Anyone currently working keep going till Medicare eligibility or if you leave be prepared to find another job that pays medical till that Medicare .But the corporation ki-led retiree benefits years ago .They have always been one step ahead of the good old boys gang who did our negotiations.The company has always played the long game.The biggest we need to keep an eye on is our pensions along with the lump.We may need heavy duty raises in this agreement knowing now tht in exchange we basically won’t have retiree benefits worth taking.Sorry but the people tht most retirees and current employees voted for years ago based on popularity is now coming to bite us.

" While I am certain the Company would say otherwise, what is clear at this time is that [they] had no interest in reaching an early agreement...
We either prepare ourselves for a protracted strike, or we accept the true worst-case scenario: the end of retiree healthcare in the not-too-distant future."

Anyone who retired early or was layed off prior to Medicare have insights into Cobra vs ACA?

Interested in the cost vs policy quality comparisons for those who have been through it.

I know based on W2 box 12DD that the SAS insurance comes out to around 31k for me with family.

Love the coverage. Low deductibles and out of pockets.

I was surplused in July and qualify for retirement and Medicare; is the ATT retiree Medicare advantage plan…any good to pair with Medicare B?

Any word on what the COLA will be for the pension for 2026 ? Inflation is high and I took the monthly annuitie.

I started with Nielsen in the early 2000's and at that time they had a retirement annuity program vis Fidelity. Dave Calhoun was quick to end that bad boy asap once he raided the place in 2006. I'm long gone from Nielsen but I still have this small annuity from about 6yrs of work which totals about $35K and says my payout can only be monthy when I turn 65 (retirmente age)...which will be about $200 per month. So not really much money at all. I'd love to try and get a lump sum now which is what many of my colleagues at the time got when they were let go or quit (however they were employees from the 80s and 90s). Is anyone familiar with this pension plan or how to go about getting a lump sum payment? I've tried several times to do so on the fidelity website but always get rejected. Thanks.

There's been a lot of discussion about EJ potentially going public or being acquired.
I don't want to spark a debate on whether it will happen, can happen, or if it should happen.
I'm just curious about what will happen to the LPs? This was one of the benefits many of us were relying on for our retirement.
