#severance

I'm mostly curious about the medical coverage.

How much severance does a Band D partner get when subject to RA at IBM US
Is it the same 3 month severance for Band D partner or you get 6 months or more being an executive . just want to prepare for the worse given the rumors of an upcoming RA in April 2026

Offer 1yr severance and heath care. 99% of pension eligible employees will take. Problem solved....

This company gives 0 f’s about any employee other than their bottom line my whole department laid off in February and they spew redeployment BS. Two decades working for them relocating many times across the country. Apply for 15 internal jobs and not one interview. Always had strong performance reviews. Landed a job quickly outside the firm so I guess take the severance and run.

If I start a new job with another company during my 60 day non working notice do I forfeit my severance? What is citi’s policy on this?

For anyone who has received, does this come via direct deposit, as all previous payroll payments have come?

Or are they checks cut and mailed?

Apologies.
Please be aware that planned optimization activities must be postponed this weekend because we migrated our accounts and nobody in the department can reach the share point with the list of lucky block 6 lottery winners.
We are working around the clock and expect to have normal randomized employee census optimization up and running soon.
IT apologies for any delay in receiving your severance.

PS : next month we expect to have the census agent bot up and running. It will work round the clock to detect any employee down time and automatically fire people when direct labor drops below daily targets.
These are exciting times.

Happy separations day!

Severance packages in the US have been consistent over the years: 2-4 weeks plus 1 week for every year of service, capped at 26 weeks. Plus one free month of cobra.

Garden leave was a new benefit in 2025, which kept the dejobbed on payroll and benefits for a few weeks. No idea if that was a one off or if it will become standard.

Putting this up, useful info. Found here: @bj+1kkhyebqg

US employee who was lays off. Challenging severance offer in courts. Anyone been successful?

Some of the news feeds reporting 18 months and other generous offerings?

For those that got laid off, were you able to contribute to your 401k in the paycheck you received a week for every year worked.

Question #2, under wishful thinking, was there any company match. Pretty sure i know the answer on that one.

Looks like wells botched severance lump sum payouts and is sending out checks and letters for those who were underpaid.

VSPP is rare. They want to control who leaves and walk you to the door.

They would have too many volunteers for VSPP offers in mass. They will just hand pick and walk people out with regular severance over the next year....

Summit Beverage will purchase Hayden Beverage's business in Montana. This transaction is expected to cause job reductions for Hayden staff. Hayden Beverage employs 120 people across its Montana locations. Affected workers will receive severance and extra pay based on their tenure.

Anheuser-Busch will close its Merrimack, New Hampshire manufacturing plant early next year. This facility has operated for over 50 years. Approximately 125 full-time employees in New Hampshire are affected. The company offers jobs at other facilities and severance packages. Two other plants in California and New Jersey are also closing, impacting 475 total employees nationwide.

Anyone know what the layoff package looked like for the unfortunate folks let go last week?

As a former CDW engineer my observation was that the number of engineers far exceeded the amount of available projects. While I worked with some smart engineers, a majority did not have skills comparable to their pay grade. Too many "that's not my niche" excuses for 6 figure salaries IMO.

The layoffs that are happening now is a forced "personnel correction" due to leadership not understanding the needs of the business.

Any experienced ?
Given notice period of 2 months , Can you retain your grants if layoff happens 2 months ahead of your vesting date ?
or you get forfeited ?

Retirement's nowhere in sight, I just don't want to stick around hoping for better days that aren't coming. The job market's rough, but I can swing a couple months unemployed. I need a change badly enough that I'm willing to take the risk.

Hello - When does the company payout the separation payment as per the agreement signed on last day . its been 4 weeks and i have got nothing. I raised a ticket to inquire about timeline and nobody response. I send an email to AskHR and nobody responds

• Severance packages out by mid-April
• July must accept severance or not

• September 1st is the start date for Phase II people in the office

• Certain special people will be given the opportunity to stay where they are

• Certain people will be given generous packages to relocate

This is was way more merciful than Phase I...

Sabre has turned into a horrible workplace I'd love to leave with a nice safety net. If layoffs are coming, I volunteer.

Does your prior service still count towards any new severance you may be eligible for later down the road? I got nine months severance pay for a layoff last year but I’m considering a new position back at the company. Just curious if I was rehired and laid off again in a couple of years I’d end up with 10 months of severance the next time.

I don't do that anymore. For the last year I've been doing the minimum and nothing more. Took two certifications on their dime. Spend my days learning things for my next role. Resume is out there. If they want to cut me, fine. The severance will just be extra. I'm ready.

This is a serious question. I would like to leave but with severance. Is there any way to get myself on the next list?

Can people share what severance package they got and timelines or any other info. Thanks

Bruyère Health plans to eliminate approximately 55 front-line positions. These roles include nurses and personal support workers. The Ottawa-based organization calls this a "redeployment process." This process may include potential layoffs for affected staff. Non-unionized employees are often owed significant severance pay.

Are VSPP offers enhanced any or are they just regular layoff/severance package rates?

Have there been any offers to anyone other than Techs?

Is this nonsense?

My role was eliminated in the last RIF wave with a term date of 2/6. I was told it was due to cost pressures and not performance as I have always had high performance ratings but did unfortunately need a couple medical leaves last year. However, LESS than 20 calendar days later, my exact role was posted internally at one grade level lower. I still had my work laptop in my possession and hadn't received my severance check. The role is now posted externally. Is this even legal? I'm wondering if I have a case to call employee relations due to retaliation.

Please be kind in your responses, this is traumatic enough.

How many months paid cobra/ medical benefits is included as part of the severance? Also when does it kick in (i.e. the following month after termination)?

Got let go in October and my severance will run out in a few months - when should I apply for unemployment insurance?

will they take away our severance if we work for encore?

Will those who were laid off receive any bonus?

I left Dell at the beginning of Jan and lost my W-2. How do I get another copy?

I'm so tired of this. People who want to leave, who'd love a severance package, are stuck here waiting for the axe to fall. The company drags it out like we don't have lives to plan. This was a good place once. Really was. Now it's just gray and empty and I don't care anymore. I hope everyone here lands somewhere better whether they stay or go.

Does IBM severance agreement have a revocation period after signing if you are over 40 years old

for example if you are given 2 months, would the current month be normal payroll and then the next 2 months would be the payment?

I've figured out the game here. Most managers won't fire you for saying no because that requires confrontation and documentation. They're cowards who depend on you doing the work they can't do. So they just let it slide. Meanwhile they're building a list of people to sacrifice in the next layoff. You want on that list? Say no more often. Protect your energy and watch yourself move up the rankings. When the cuts come, you'll have a lighter workload and a severance package. It's a win.
