#severance

For those that have received the Separation Agreement for the VSP with separation date of today, 9/4: It seems like they will not produce an updated severance benefit document ahead of us needing to sign within 45 days. We’ll only have the estimate they produced originally. Does this seem accurate to others?

Reading thru the displacement paperwork, it seems that we cannot submit the form to request a lump sum severance payout until you are no longer a WF employee (the day after your 60-day non working period ends). Is that true? Anyone know how long after submitting for lump sum severance payment you actually get this money? The displacement paperwork alludes that it can take another two months on top of already waiting the initial 60-days (non working period).

If, globally, most sales reps fail to hit their quota, will Dell still increase targets again in H1 FY28?

If the majority of us are missing targets because expectations are unrealistic, what justification is there for increasing them further?

Could this “manufactured failure” ultimately be used as justification to reduce the workforce?

And with severance potentially being lower than in previous years when calculated against the new payout structure, it feels like we’re all being played here.

If you were laid off in the US and over 40, you should receive a list of ages and titles of those affected. Can someone share the number of people laid off in their "decisional unit", as well as the number of people remaining?

What exactly are the benefits of retiring if I don’t plan on drawing from my 401(k) and I don’t need healthcare through the company? Am I basically just giving up my employee discount? I’m trying to understand what other perks I’d actually be getting, because honestly, I’m having a hard time seeing what’s worth spending five more years here just to satisfy the Rule of 75.

Does anyone know if our severance agreement wording allocates the weeks paid out to a “ general lump sum” or allocates it to soecific calendar weeks? This will affect whether I have to wait to get unemployment benefits until after the severance benefits run out or if I can start them immediately in my state. Thanks!

Does anyone know when benefits will expire after VSP separation date 9/4?

What are the details of the packages being offered to techs in southeast? What are the #’s the company is trying to get?

What kind of severance package is being given? When I got the call this morning they didn’t provide any details other than I was eligible for cobra, unemployment, and career counseling. I get my final paycheck in the next pay period. But are they offering payment for time with the company?

Exactly what was your severance package. Including country, weeks of pay, stock, health insurance. Anything else….

What is the difference for anyone let go immediately on 8/10? They essentially rec'd four weeks additional pay just like VSP and they didn't have to work! Their severance begins 9/4 just like VSP.

HCA Healthcare has announced a reduction in a small percentage of its positions. The company cited increasing operational costs, a rise in uninsured patients, and evolving healthcare policies as reasons for the decision. These changes are intended to ensure the long-term strength and patient service capabilities of HCA Healthcare. Affected employees will receive support, including severance and outplacement services. Despite these cuts, HCA Healthcare continues to hire for roles nationwide.

I think for US employees it is 2 months on payroll + 10weeks of pay + 6 months of insurance. Is that correct?

Or is it "sign this or get nothing?"

Don't take package and share what you know

I’ve been on pip - does anyone know how it works? Is it basically 30 days, then you meet with HR and if your manager doesn’t take you off pip, you do another 30 days with a HR person and then after that you’re fired?

1. No severance if you’re fired after pip?
2. If you don’t beat pip after 30 days, what are the chances you beat it in day 31-60?
3. Is the goal to get off PIP just try to deliver as many deliverables as possible?

Any thoughts would help here

Can anybody share what the package looks like? Is health coverage provided outside of the first month?

How's that fair?

How long does it take to get severance payment once papers are signed?

I expect to be cut this month in September (USA) and I was wondering how the package on the 8th was structured.

Thanks in advance!!

I was hit back in March and among the first to confirm it was happening here. What’s followed has been the hardest job search I’ve had in my decades-long career. Some of this is sales specific, but I hope it’s useful to everyone.

• Back up everything: don’t wait until you get laid off. Back up all relevant work details like paystubs, promotions, attainment, praise, deal closures etc. Save anything relevant to RSUs or unpaid bonuses. Save EVERYTHING you’ve ever signed.
• Keep track of what Oracle actually owes you, because they will try to get away with paying less. If you closed a deal with a distant Sales Effective Date, save that. Save emails from management pressuring you to close it. Save any emails that even insinuate you’ll be compensated in the form of bonuses or other benefits for work that goes beyond your normal duties.
• Do not sign anything regarding your termination without talking to a lawyer. Remember that Oracle is not offering you severance out of kindness; they’re offering you the absolute minimum they believe they can get away with in exchange for liability protection.
• If you’re unhappy at Oracle, or you’re worried about layoffs, start looking now. The job market is tough but it’s tougher for those without a job.
• Tough doesn’t mean impossible, and there are signs of life. I’ve been interviewing all year, but activity right now is better than it’s been during that period. I see other people getting jobs, and I’m (knock on wood) close.

Above all, remember that this is just a job. You are not what you do for a living. Don’t let a layoff defeat you, and don’t treat it like a vacation. If you need to, take a short time to experience the loss, but then get back up and back into the fight. You’ve got this!

Like do they let anyone and everyone keep working here?

We can't take this anymore...

We want out and we want severance

For those who have been affected by the layoff, our hearts are with you. What are the severance details?

a well planned mind fu-k? Several groups have been subjected to last minute (or are they) changes to their status. Some with RIF dates are then given different assignments within days of their change dates, some inside the company, some not. Now, the only update is that these offers are now given, allegedly, with the option to take severance or accept the extension keeping their severance offer intact. Be sure to get that in writing.

I am still waiting for my severance package.

Please share the facts here.

Also, please share your severance package details and location. It will help other affected folks to anticipate what they may experience today.

Thanks!

While global HQ preaches corporate ethics and announces structured layoffs with severance packages, the reality at one of its major international subsidiaries is a textbook disaster of cronyism, severe toxic management, and unlawful practices.
If you are considering joining this company (either in sales or other), read this first.

1. Cronyism & Extreme Toxic Environment Following a change in leadership, the regional entity was overtaken by an ex-competitor clique that privatized the organization. The pressure and chaotic direction became unbearable: within a single regional technical department, two young engineers collapsed due to severe vascular crises (myocardial infarction and cerebral hemorrhage). Unsurprisingly, both systems engineers and sales reps have been fleeing the subsidiary in droves, with multiple new hires quitting during their probation or taking medical leave immediately after.

2. Severance Evasion via We-ponized PIP To avoid paying official restructuring/severance packages, local management we-ponized PIPs against selected targets. Despite prior recognized contributions, impossible targets were imposed to manufacture failure. Legitimate rights to medical leave were concealed from stressed employees, leaving them no choice but to resign under extreme duress.

3. The Ridiculous "60pt Font" Forced Resignation In one flagrant instance of constructive dismissal, management presented a resignation template that had already pre-printed the text "Personal Reasons" in an absurd 60-point bold font—forcing the employee to sign away their rights to company-initiated severance. The sheer amateurism and intimidation tactics of local management are beyond belief.

4. Official Government Regulatory Intervention The negligence didn't stop at forced departures. Former employees attempting to process legal post-employment documentation were met with an automated bounce-back stating the HR inbox was "no longer monitored" and completely neglected for months. This explicit violation of statutory labor regulations triggered a formal inquiry and corrective action by the local government's labor regulatory agency.
   Local leadership is desperately trying to hide these catastrophic failures from San Jose. HQ Compliance, Rajiv, and the Audit Committee need to investigate the toxic clique running this subsidiary before further legal liabilities and brand damage hit the global press.

Layoffs will start 6am on Monday by email. Approx. 11,000 employees. No change in severance from last round. No garden leave- effective immediately. Retroactive WARN notices. Remember WARN also doesn’t apply to remote workers. A similar sized layoff in March. Nearly all teams are expected to solidify AI development processes even further. Teams will begin to transition to big picture small headcount silos. This will begin the shift and divestment from resources abroad to a smaller Oracle <90,000 employees by 2028

TikTok is shutting down its Nashville office in early October, impacting approximately 250 employees. The company will keep these workers on payroll for two months before the closure. Following this period, affected staff will receive one month of severance pay, plus an additional month for each year of employment. This severance package is comparable to offers made by other tech and media companies during recent layoff events. The announcement was made via email and a video call where questions were not permitted.

Wells Fargo is eliminating 112 positions in Wake County as part of ongoing cost-cutting measures. The layoffs will affect loan operations roles, including loan-servicing representatives. These cuts are scheduled to take effect by April 4. The San Francisco-based bank has been reducing its workforce for several years. The company is offering severance and career assistance to affected employees.

Question for anyone that was recently laid off. The Severance agreement states that we will be automatically enrolled in our current health benefit plans on September 1st but I also received a letter stating that I need to select a COBRA plan by November 1st? I tried calling but got someone that didn't seem to know what they were talking about and just advised me to login and pick a plan. I have been on a grandfathered health plan for years and don't want to mess anything up. Any advice out there?

Considering a return to Citi. Is there any wiggle room on pro-rated severance repayment? How quickly does it need to be repaid?

The King County Regional Homelessness Authority has implemented its first round of layoffs, impacting ten employees. These cuts follow a period of uncertainty for staff after leadership announced potential job losses. The agency's top executives were notably absent during the layoff announcements, attending a council meeting instead. These layoffs occur as an audit reveals significant unreconciled funds within the organization. Severance packages for the affected employees are notably less generous than those provided in previous layoffs.

I've been added to the list. Does anyone know how much Dell Ireland are paying for redundancy..I heard 4 weeks plus 2.

If you post for a job but do not get it until after your last day, do you still get severance?

Curious what severance is…Any thoughts?

No reductions expected?
