Thread regarding Lenovo layoffs

@ra My experience was four months and you got to finish the month with your health insurance in tact. Once you're past five years, you get another week or so for every year (I think that's what it is)

@ra same as at anytime of the year. 6 month severance paid as a lumpsum + COBRA money but they pay it as a lump sum and the taxes eat up a lot of it.

If you get laid off in November what's the severance package usually like?

@n8 where do you work? Onsite or remote? There’s a layoff pattern with Lenovo which is every 6 months. People get notified in June and given 30 days to “find an internal job”. Same in November. You may not have heard anything because the execs know people have figured it out. By now they have the list for next month’s layoffs. Good luck

How often does Lenovo have layoff? I haven't heard of any layoff news inside the company.

@js as it’s been said before, just be honest on your “anonymous” Lenovo Listens survey. They’ll get you soon after.

@js No but if you want to be considered you will have to be candid about it with your manager. Those conversations are being held right now behind closed doors. If fact, they already know who's getting the axe next month. I felt it coming in May when people in India started doing my job and my project pipeline began to shrink.

Anyone know if LENOVO offers a voluntary layoffs or packages to leave voluntarily?

@bb I’ve noticed a huge decrease in glam posting on LinkedIn by the usual suspects after the World Cup. Maybe this and other boards are being noticed and the executive waste club is dialing it back. After all, having your whole family attend and then posting a photo in a VIP setting with David Beckham is a bad look when you’re also ruining hundreds of people’s lives at the same time.

@OP I had the World Cup layoff in June so I’m just waiting for the November carnage. Looking forward to all the comments though
