I've seen the police car each time I'm at the office in Cary. I've heard that it's there when there are layoffs. Is this true? How come it's always parked there?

In the Oriskany office the dreaded glass room was where they did them when most were still in the office. They’d fire you, while site services packed your belongings into a box and the door for the glass room led right to the security desk who’d escort you past the key card doors and take your card and give you the box. Then they’d escort you to the car and ensure you left the lot. Now they just schedule a meeting Friday morning for noon that your manager does and hr and whoever is firing you is in the call. They deactivate everything while you are on the phone. Then you get to mail back your card and laptop. In order to get your severance there’s a clause you will not sue. They have it all down to a science.
@2vd not HR, just a minion at 200 Park. I do see the CEO here frequently and I have also seen my share of people let go here. None were ever escorted out by cops or security. In fact, these employees are instructed to come in after hours to pack up in private and then WFH for the remainder of their days at Met. The "escorting out" could be tied to termination for cause and not a true job elimination. There is a difference.
@2vd Actual cops walk people out or building security? Thanks for the updates on the firings.
Whoa someone in HR obviously had this site take down a lot of honest comments. They have the cops walk people out with their cardboard boxes after Met fires them. Cary and Tampa, 200 Park. Great for morale. CEO is in paris and california most of the time so dont worry about him getting UHCed. They would have to be able to find him first.
@a3 is right. CEO loves to cut cut cut.
@ez this is the correct answer. Same holds true at 200 Park. Installed immediately after the UHC incident. Has nothing to do with layoffs.
@OP There's been an officer in the lobby every day in Tampa. I'm hearing that it's just for extra security, maybe due to the shooting of UHC's CEO.
Yes, it's quarterly layoff season to increase shareholder value.
