I was let go soon after that email came out (few months salary as severance and most of my bonus…so could be worse, I guess).
Good luck to those who were also affected, and good luck to those still in the fight. Don’t let this place run your life. Family and your mental/physical health always comes first.
Peace and blessings. God will always make a way.
At least 2 impacted in TPS last Thursday. I do not know the total number.
@ca Chase your dream and start that business! You can do it!
@ca c3 here. Appreciate your response. It is a great time to be a business owner especially with all the LLMs. Wishing you the best!
When is your official termination date, is it in December? I am guessing they have to give 60 days notice and they have to at least pay you for the next 60 days before servance?
If that’s true, I just need to survive another 2 weeks so my official end day is January 2027 when I turn 55 and can take money from 401 k without penalty using rule of 55
@ca what happens is that there's a "task" that comes down from the top that gives areas a certain percentage that they need to axe for expenses.
I have no doubts you were a valuable contributor and that your role and work as absolutely necessary. But the $ amount attached to you was too expensive. It's honestly just as simple as that.
For what it's worth, I am sorry and I hope there are greener pastures out there for you. I also find it to be ironic that a company that is so heavily forcing RTO seems to be laying off primarily hybrid employees. We all know why this is - those of us in hubs are more expensive. We're not in a cheap geo code.
@c9 True, but at this point it might as well be considered a department.
@c3 Agreed. Could be a blessing in disguise. I’ve been able to spend more time with my kids before they go to school in the morning, and not be irritable around them after work in the evening. Also been thinking about starting a business for the past year, but just couldn’t see how I could realistically carve out the time with a wife, kids, and full time job. Might be able to finally give entrepreneurship a real attempt now.
I was a hybrid employee, meeting the RTO 60% expectation. There weren’t really any obvious signs (to me) this was going to happen. Plenty of projects with deadlines of 2027 Q1 were assigned to me, so it’s not like all my work just vanished, or else I definitely would’ve been suspicious.
At this point, I’ve stopped trying to guess what happened. Maybe the “role” really was just no longer needed (which is what I was told).
@ak Elavon isn't a department, it's a subsidiary that includes multiple departments.
@a8 sorry to hear but this maybe a blessing in disguise. Were you remote?
I’m so sorry, yes the actions and emails are quite insensitive, to say the least. Condolences and congratulations. May it turn out to be a great blessing
So Elevon getting axed, what other department got axed?
I just know my days are coming, I don’t even know why I keep trying because all I know is, I am next. I survived multiple laid off, every year, a few people in my department get laid off for stupid reason like they worked at a Branch office and then because they didn’t work in a hub, then it was because they didn’t work in a main hub. I am sure the next laid off is you don’t work in the 4 hubs or India
@a6 without getting too specific, Elavon.
I still want to make sure all of the “agreed to” funds come to me. So hope you understand if I don’t get overly specific.
My manager was being weirder than usual today so I am fairly sure my turn is coming soon. Wishing you the best. Damn this place to he-l.
@OP I'm so sorry that happened to you. Do you mind sharing the department so others can be better informed and (hopefully) prepared?
