While a different situation, I think Truist denying severance if you don’t agree to join a different company (say Accenture) is not just unethical, but is also pushing legal boundaries. If nothing else, I can’t imagine “a purpose led bank” wanting to litigate that out in the open.
I also could also see an enterprising attorney thinking that kind of deal smells a lot like collusion between two companies.
Hey “it’s not fair I DONT GET WFH”
This is not applicable to you. Don’t waste an attorneys time

In February 2023, the NLRB issued a decision in McLaren Macomb returning to longstanding precedent holding that employers may not offer employees severance agreements that require employees to broadly waive their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. https://www.nlrb.gov/news-outreach/news-story/region-32-oakland-secures-settlement-requiring-lucid-to-rescind-unlawful#:~:text=In%20February%202023%2C%20the%20NLRB,the%20National%20Labor%20Relations%20Act.
@2sri+1tM5fKGY - it’s not just WF. All banks do this shady stuff
How is WF still around. They get caught doing something egregiously illegal every 3 years but the government never really takes them down.
If I get RIFed I will seek legal counsel before signing anything
The same gaslighting happens at Truist. If you get laid off and you think you have an ADA or case against Truist, do not sign severance paperwork until you consult with an attorney. If you accept severance, you forfeit right to sue Truist
That is a pretty egregious case.
WF sets a high bar for a--holery. Glad they got dinged.
Interestingly has nothing to do with Truist
ADA and EEOC lawsuits are real. Don’t take them lightly (Truist cough)
