@aa A friend of mine was fired for performance and got a severance package….
@a9 that’s not a lot to live off of after taxes are taken out
And if you are not accepted to VSP, the people leader will know your intention to leave and start retaliation process against you? Thats what I'm concerned with if i sign up
@a9 that's not entirely true. You have to apply and then it says in the fine print that just because you apply doesn't mean that you are accepted. It's based on business needs.
@aw Any exclusions for filing for unemployment if your state allows it??
@ac that absolutely can be true. Everyone's is different. I've been with the company less than 4 years and I am being offered 12 weeks of severance ay 20k lumpsum.
What about it isn't true?
There is a difference between being laid off vs. being fired.
And severance isn't guaranteed.
And in most cases, the employer will try to avoid having to be paying out for unemployment insurance if they fired someone vs. laid them off. Sometimes, rarely, the ex-employee can prove they're eligible for UI, but in most cases, the company wins, and the ex-employee is SOL.
No one's trying to scare anyone, just stating facts.
Any pharmacy coordinators get an email ??
Has anyone seen anything in the VSP materials about accepting another job before the September 1 separation date? For example, if someone were to receive and accept another offer before then, would that impact VSP eligibility or severance payments?
@ak what’s your base salary?
@ac I wonder if it is not based on years worked but instead on your salary
@an yes
Those lump sum amounts are taxable right?
@aa Stop spreading fear. That is not true. Ridiculous right now to try to scare people. It’s kind of sick really.
7 years, 40,000 lump sum offer.
@aa depends on the termination. I was terminated months ago and they offered a 2 weeks severance and an agreement not to sue
@a9 do you mind sharing your stat
Is it still rolling out? I haven’t gotten anything
Is health insurance included in this package?
Can someone please share some info?? Do we know if the email is a slow rollout throughout the day??
Are they doing it in terms of a number of months? What % of your annual pay is it? Are they going to subsidize your health insurance?
@ab not true!!!! I've been here 8 years and my severance offer isnt even $25k
Yup. Been here 6 years and my package would be a little over 40k
Learn the difference between getting "fired" vs. being "laid off."
If they fire you, you don't get severance, and it renders you as being ineligible to receive unemployment insurance $. You just get your last paycheck, and that's it.
Careful what you wish for...you might just end up getting fired, instead of being laid off.
Don't assume that a nice big severance package will be presented to you as an option in the future.
They aren't required to give that, and they have ways of firing people when stubborn holdouts refuse to be herded out the door, when given the voluntary option to leave.
my severance package is $34,256. I'LL TAKE IT! God luck to the rest of you. Sept 1 is my last day.
Anyone care to share the details? The suspense is almost as bad as the news itself.
Refreshing my email every minute, can someone share details please?
Yes just did
i got the email as well. I love the last section "We hope you will carefully consider this program and take advantage of the information" NOPE! you're going to have to fire me CENTENE :).
Not yet
Don’t be shy. Share some details!!!
Can you share?
Don’t leave us hanging! What are the details of the email??
