#termination

Let's say that HR determines you violated company policies, with a totally clean prior record.

Is it then always up to the manager to decide to either keep or to terminate you?

I was in a 2 months non-working notice, and my last day was October 28. I read previous posts and some indicated they had received their prorated bonus on final paycheck. My last paycheck did not have any bonus. Any suggestions on how to escalate this with the HR? My former manager is non responsive. Thanks!

Just got the cord cut on me last week but only my boss was on the call without HR present. Is this legal?

Good luck to anyone who was force rated with below expectations. There is no PIP this time based on what im hearing . Its straight to termination

Anyone else’s computer already get completely reimaged and erased and locked down without any warning?? I thought we were supposed to be working until the 19th. Is this normal?

Have PIP terms always been discretionary or are they shortening them just to force people out faster?

Anyone know or have access to information on how the terms of a PIP are determined? I searched MyHR and couldn't find anything transparent.

I thought 90 days for improvement was standard. Someone commented on a post awhile ago that their PIP was 60 days. My coworker just got put on one and she only has 30 days to turn it around. I'm relatively new to the team but from what others have been saying and my experience working with her, it seem preposterous. She's very knowledgeable and helpful and everyone seems to like her. She shared that she's never had a single performance issue previously and consistently received exceeds expectations annual ratings.

Sounds like a classic forced out scenario and if they can do it to her, they can do it to me or anyone, so I'm trying to find any reference material available.

Anyone know if someone can be told they are let go while on Paternity leave or if it would have to be held until returning to work for legal reasons?

I see for some it's 12/19 and for others it's in February. I'm sure there are other dates in between as well.

The former is better for job search

If we get laid off?

Is it all online? Or do they mail you forms and you have to have it notarized and mail it back?

Does anyone know the off the books date?

Had a meeting with HR this afternoon about a few days a few months ago where I had no transportation to work and was relying on an evening ride to get my badge swipe. My direct management was aware and, supposedly, fine with it. Our team also has the unofficial ‘official’ go ahead from our global head to leave once we’ve logged 4 hours in office, but that’s beside the point I guess.
HR called it a ‘fact finding’ meeting and had no concrete answer when I asked what next steps were and when I could expect to hear back. I’ve seen posts of people being let go for the same basic reason and am just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? Meeting first and then termination to follow? Obviously can’t change the outcome now, but I’m still curious.

Anyone else just wishing for all of this to be over? The anxiety of waiting is so detrimental to everyone's health. Office is quiet as a church mouse, I do not know if it was leaked from within or one of the disgruntled SVP's earlier this week who got terminated.

BUT I just prefer to know already... a week more of this is torture, honestly. Rip the band-aid and let people know, dude.

Does anyone know when the AD is officially informed?

If anyone is or was a manager and a RA comes in for a specific employee if they disagree with it for example the affected employee is a top performer can he recommend a lower performer or is the die cast and therefore the manager is powerless

Or just the boot?

Has anyone who has quit, been terminated, or had a serious type of grievance with belk ever been asked to sign a non disclosure agreement?

All managers of sites concerned have been told to make a list. Voluntary RIF Notifications to go around the end of November to early December with terminations taking place by mid to end of January. like before people will be given the option to voluntarily apply. The candidates will be chosen by the end of December and people will be notified the beginning of January

Layoffs and terminations at ISPs have commenced; however, there will be a gradual increase next year. If your group is affected let people know

I have been there and have never seen a more political work place in my life. The least talented get promoted. The most talented are set up for failure, termination and layoffs.
I am pretty sure I am the next to go in the next round coming soon I suspect end of year.

Has anyone ever put in their 2 weeks notice & got terminated that same day or before your last day? I’m contemplating on if I should. This is NOT a company I would ever come back to either.

I was just told today I'm being let go effective immediately. I've been working in Rochester (SAS) for 4-years. No performance issues, but classified as a remote employee. Is this a one-off, or are there others being targeted?

Quick question:

Did all of the forced piped former BNY employees receive a "not eligible for rehire" tag on their employment file?

Have any of the folks laid off on September 3rd and covered by WARN 60 days notification period received anything today? I have been checking my email and haven't seen anything (although the final payroll payment showed on my bank account this morning).
In any case, I really appreciate all folks that have contributed to this forum. It was the first hit that showed up when I searched after being laid off, and it made me realize I wasn't alone in this new journey. I really wish the very best to all of you.

Was anyone laid off in early September given a termination date of November 14?

First off I want to say it’s been great working with everyone here. These past 5 years have certainly blew by with all the ups and downs and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. I was part of this round of layoffs but will be staying until early next year (Golden Globes?) and was wondering if anyone knows if there is a chance the separation date could move up?

Keep your heads up.

Who creates the list who goes? Lvl 7. So is it my boss, or director, or sr Dr?

Layed off but I must work for next 4 weeks. Was just asked to goto a meeting. TERMS- have to work until 11/27/2025 to receive severance. Out of nowhere. Blind - sided. Anyone else in my situation please comment here. Let’s help each other get through this!! 🤞

I got notified yesterday...

should i talk to a lawyer first or just sign the papers??

what kind of lawyer do i even need for this.

How do i know if what they offer is fair or if theyre trynna lowball me. can i get more money or benefits if i wait or negoiate.

what do i ask the lawyer when i talk to them??????????????

stream of thought: what happens if i already signed but change my mind. is it better to sign fast or wait a few days. do i have to pay the lawyer right away or only if i win something. how much do lawyers like this usually cost?????

Also.... what should i not say or do right now so i dont mess this up.

Just got terminated anyone know when is last day ?? got no info besides being eliminated

Just had a random meeting which said they terminated random positions. Did not even bother to tell us what the impact is or how to prepare.

This company wants to fail and just get bought out. Customers are leaving in droves and brain strain is causing it to be broken and hacked. This butcher of a CEO is crazy.
