#termination

I was terminated in March last as a result of self protection political games from my manager. Naturally this also terminated all the knowledge of a significant project I managed for over 3 years.

Since then, I still get regular calls or texts asking me for help, information or assistance. Despite my message to VP and several directors asking them to refrain from this pointing out I am no longer responsible for filling their self created knowledge gap; it continues on regular basis.

Conclusions:
Cummins management is delusional.
Cummins has a knowledge problem.
Cummins doesn't give a damn about certain genders and prioritizes dei over project success.

I got terminated at Centene. My performance was exceptional; I belonged to different groups and associations, participated in voluntary groups, helped and assisted other colleagues, completed trainings, and maintained exceptional metrics (more than 60 daily calls). I was truly a dedicated team member.

But I got laid off. I am now without a salary, debts are mounting, and I am going to lose my house and cannot pay utilities or my children's college tuition. I have completed around 120 resumes and applications and don't have any answers yet.

Thanks, Centene, for your support for your employees—the support that makes all of you richer every day with our efforts and work.

Would that work to not comply with new RTO and drag it out as long as possible till they terminate me or lay me off. Would this set me up for a possible layoff package and I could get unemployment benefits?

If you were given a quarter in 2027 for termination, are people receiving the official termination letter already, months in advance? I heard it was because they are ahead of the game, even though the quarter in 2027 is not changing. Seems suspicious.

Has anyone else noticed the slew of high performers above band 7 or intern level suddenly getting PIPS post stock crash? We keep talking about RA’s, I think that’s being generous. They’re stooping so low, why RA when you can do backdoor terminations and not have to pay severance? Anyone else seeing this happen to colleagues the past month?

If you aren’t relocating, did they term you? I was asked to fill out the form and the only option was voluntary resignation. If they term you would you qualify for unemployment? For the CIP?
It’s hard to interpret the plan documents.

In Texas….Last day is 9/4, got the call today.

In the US (for ExxonMobil), the PIL option seems to be three months.
Is it the same for Imperial (Canada) or do they have to offer more, especially if you have 20 or 30 years service?

It is deeply hypocritical for Centene to champion initiatives against homelessness while terminating thousands of employees and putting them at risk of losing their homes. Executive compensation of twenty million dollars a year while the workforce faces displacement is entirely indefensible. Centene CEO with her 20 million a year is really diabolical.

Their last day is 9/4. Got a random meeting today on their calendar with higher ups and HR. For their safety and making sure that they are not retaliated against, I will reveal nothing about them. I am sad to see them go. They didn't deserve it.
Random meetings are being sent out. It is happening right now as we speak.

The sports network ESPN has initiated significant layoffs, impacting several well-known NFL figures. Former MVP Cam Newton is among those being let go, despite a recent contract extension. Ryan Clark was reportedly informed of his dismissal during a live appearance on "NFL Live." These actions are part of a broader effort by the company to restructure its operations. The network's CEO described the decisions as difficult but necessary for future positioning.

I heard that the standard severance package at State Street is 2 weeks for every year of service, with a 10-week minimum. However, I'm wondering whether this severance package is offered on top of the 2-month period between the notification date and the termination date (i.e., 2 months on payroll without active work), or whether it's offered instead of those 2 months on payroll.

I’m planning to look for a new job, and I have a question about health insurance. If I’m terminated today, will my medical insurance end immediately, or will it continue through the end of the month?

I have been with the company for over a decade and until this year every single review has been meets or above. This year I got smacked with a below meets on my mid-year check in. Can they use this to terminate me without severance? I am fine with getting laid off but I want my package.

UCare is laying off more than 100 employees this fall. This action follows the company's decision to end its Medicare Advantage contracts. UCare plans to shift its members to a different organization. The terminations will begin on October 1st. This move is part of a larger transition for the health plan.

Does anyone know whether, when someone is laid off, they receive a few months of garden leave, or are terminated immediately with a few month severance package instead?

Also, if anyone has gone through this, were you given a choice between garden leave and immediate termination with severance, or was it entirely decided by the company?

I have a job offer from Enbridge and it has a Termination clause for severance. I don’t have that in my previous offer and none of my friends have it. I asked HR and they said it is standard in offers.

Do I need to accept these conditions? Has anyone negotiated better?

They are using reviews to set us up for termination with no severance. It’s happening to well-respected employees who have propped this company up for years through all their corporate governance issues, consumer abuses and scandals. (I like to believe there are still some good managers here, but they are reporting to people who have made it to the top at Wells Fargo. People don’t make it to the top at Wells Fargo without being ruthless and narcissistic.)

Don’t assume your review is a meaningless routine HR checking of boxes.

• If you disagree with something written in your review, politely and factually correct false claims in writing. Ask for specific examples of where you failed, and submit your written rebuttal to add to your personnel file.
• Do not lightly sign a review you disagree with, or a disciplinary write-up on the spot. Add a brief note next to your signature stating that you receipt-only sign and disagree with the assessment.
• Maintain a file on a personal device of past positive reviews, emails, chat logs, and project data (however you can do so within company policy) to prove your performance. Assume you may need it.

Aramark has ended its collaboration with the University of Kentucky. This decision led to the termination of employment for over 900 individuals. The partnership concluded in May of this year. This marks a significant workforce reduction for the company.

When you tell your manager you’re not relocating, will they terminate you or force you to resign? What’s better from a benefits standpoint?

I just got my teams call to be informed that I wasn’t moving on with the company.

P&O Ferries has abruptly terminated the employment of 800 crew members, citing significant accumulated losses as the reason for this drastic measure. The company claims these changes are essential for its survival and that immediate action is required. This decision has sent shockwaves through the UK and alerted the European shipping industry, with competitors anticipating potential growth. Affected crew members received their termination notices yesterday morning, with some refusing to disembark. The company plans to replace the laid-off staff with cheaper agency workers.

US coworker had lay off call today. Termination date not until December 2026.

What do you think is going to happen?

With a company that is so anti employee, with literally NO regard for tenure, loyalty, performance...should we expect any transparency at all?

Managers are complicit basically just trying to assure their salary continues.

Does Dell need to be investigated for violations in their termination process?

Looking for insight/testimonials about the severance package in Spain, what is and is not included in the salary reference for calculation, what the termination letter actually says, what kind of NDA they ask, etc.
Anything you can share will help a worried colleague. Thank you.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN FLORIDA LAYOFFS WILL START AND WHAT THE TERM DATE MIGHT BE?

Anyone ever lawyer up against this deplorable company?

How many years do you need to be here to get severance?

laid off with 6 month pay in Hyderabad India. as my is low 6 months pay given my colleage with higher pay got only 3 months pay and termination agreement signing

Wondering when severance is actually paid? Just got my last paycheck before the termination date. Any idea when the documents would be sent and when they would pay out severance?

Got the call.

Is it true that they just let go all of customer care on the 4th floor of Lehi?

Layoffs confirmed at the support office today, on the owned brand teams, over 10 individuals. Managers were not notified, employees got meetings on their calendars the night before. Terminated effective immediately... Any other teams affected?

I was terminated after failing PIP on July 1.

Getting paid for another 30 days. When do I file for unemployment?

After paycheck stops or immediately?

Just be aware, your people time trash already has a list of names for people being terminated come February

Just commented this in another thread, but thought may be worth mentioning.

Based on other people’s posts today, it’s confirmed the MLRP policy change is being applied retroactively (2 NSI in 5 years = termination). Instead of it being effective starting this year when announced and the tracking beginning from 2025 performance forward, they are pulling in past performance for 5 years back.

What’s stopping them from saying next year, “anyone that has receive 3 Very Good performance in the past 10 years will now be eligible for a PIP”?

Guess I’m a big d-mb d-mb for thinking they would treat this similar to how the US constitution prohibits ex post facto laws for criminal conduct.

Well, it finally happened. Got called into a “quick sync” with my manager Monday morning. HR was already in the room, which tells you everything. They slid the PIP paperwork across the table, and before I could even read the “performance expectations” section, they informed me that because this was my second PIP in a five-year window, company policy allowed them to skip the improvement period entirely. Effective immediately. I was walked back to my desk by security to grab my jacket and my kid’s drawing off the monitor. Badge deactivated before I hit the parking garage. Eleven years, and I was out of the building in under 40 minutes. Some context for anyone who hasn’t been through the Exxon performance machine: the forced ranking system means somebody is always in the bottom bucket. Doesn’t matter how the team performs. My first PIP in 2022 came after a reorg where my entire project got shelved so nothing to show for the year because there was nothing left to show. I survived it, “closed it out successfully,” and naively thought that was behind me.

Procedure of getting fired after Less Than Meet?

Former employees of Entourage Health are alleging that the company failed to provide legally mandated entitlements following approximately 53 layoffs. These workers claim they received only two weeks' pay, despite many having years of service. They are questioning whether termination pay, severance, and notice requirements under Ontario employment law were met. The company, which filed for creditor protection, disputes that the layoffs constituted a mass termination. Affected staff have filed complaints with the Ministry of Labour and are seeking legal counsel.

Is it just a straight up termination, or is there any kind of severance at all? I am afraid my group might be rebadged and wondering what to expect. Will there be any guaranteed period of continued employment?
