@cq There are legal advantages to buyouts. Employees who are at or close to retirement age might be tempted to accept the offer, especially if the payout is better than severance.
I suppose that a company's demographics might influence the RIF strategy. O added a lot of people over the past 10-15 years, so I'm going to guess that the average age isn't all that high as most new hires were young, which could make putting an age bias proof RIF list together easier.
@km "@gy is that so? But I thought Larry is a well respected guy who follows all the rules. "
lol..you're oblivious...so, I have no words for you
@gy is that so? But I thought Larry is a well respected guy who follows all the rules. So every capitalist in us is corrupted? Is that what you mean?
@OP how can someone that acquired something via corrupt means be any better....duh when companies merge there's layouts why is it good when the entitled white nationalist says it.....he went to dinner with the members of the DOJ the night before the decision of the merger, while his dad was giving Ru-p a hand job under the table to get what he wants...what a fu$ked up life, bowing down to people like this is unfathomable....it's a job, yeah, they are scarce, but these people want them to be scarce so that people like you will beg for their crumbs that they have pi---d on and they can afford what they have via free and cheap labor...see them what for they are
@cz does that make the layoffs better?
At least the son publicly acknowledged that there will be layoffs!
Not really, one of his first actions after the merger is to get rid of people. I would guess that if they don't accept the one time offer buyout it will be followed up with a layoff notice.
