Or was everybody who was let go in the last month or so furloughed?

No but was asked by HR to stack rank employees in my org a fortnight past.
I wonder if furloughs will be used more in the UK than the US due to the generous benefits that employees in Europe are eligible for?
I believe IRIF packages in the UK must include 13 weeks of salary for every year employed, or something high like that. (Please correct me if I'm remembering it wrong) Furloughs might get around that requirement.
Lots of mainline Xerox UK employees furloughed till end May.
Another layoff candidate speaks up...
To last two posters (thinking you may be the same person based on syntax...); took you two times to state poorly executed jabs at the poster before you who was asking for folks to focus on what the site is for... thanks for illustrating to us who the slow and less intelligent one is.
But you're right about one thing: It is a Layoff Site and earlier on when the HCL debacle started, there was good information and occasional legitimate insights that helped a lot of us make decisions on staying/moving/pensions/etc.
Be great if folks could refocus on useful/pertinent commentary instead of trying to get "up voted".
Okay, off my grandstand now and wishing all of us the best possible outcome as we deal with the pandemic and its repercussions.
For the slow ones out there, I was trying to explain why a previous poster selected April 20th as the next layoff date. That way, people won't spend the weekend worrying about whether or not they would be getting a call Monday morning. I will do a better job of stating the obvious next time, just for you!
For the less intelligent amongst us, I was explaining why a previous poster selected April 20th as the date for a layoff. That way a lot of people won't worry all weekend about whether or not they will get a call Monday morning. By the way, this is "The Layoff" page. If you think people come here for industry updates, you are crazy.
Leave the April/20, 420, can–bis/grass cr*p off this site.
Its for postings/information that folks follow to try and glean legitimate, industry/job related updates as it may impact their livelihood.
April 20th. 420. Get it, people? Sheesh
April 20th. Sounds kind of hokey. Will believe it when I see it.
@2wym+14ts0rh3 What plan and hearing from whom/where?
On April 20th there is a plan to Text all impacted employees on their mobile devices or leave systematic voicemail messages informing them that they have been let go. Stay close to your phones Monday morning. I’m hearing it’s mostly services and core leadership
Does anyone have real information and not just think it will happen?
Oh but there will be, oh but there will...
yes
It's puzzling that directs have not been affected yet, afaik. Maybe they'll play a dirty game with the return onsite to work criteria?
Soon I am sure. Something has to give. Layoffs were already part of the plan this year so why not accelerate them.
No one laid off at my core during the pandemic. HCL people were done around March, but that was to happen anyway. I think some of our non-original HCL contract people were let go, but I'm honestly not sure, and I think it was time and not due to the pandemic.
Contract employees at my core were furloughed. There are a few names being thrown around on whose next if it comes to that.
Or a little more than a month...
