I'm hearing comments about PIP's and people feeling that they are being pushed out by HR over whatever the newest performance metrics are this month

@c7 unemployment benefits applied. The severance was paid once as lump sum not spread out. Unemployment benefits kicked in after that payment as expected. Unemployment office is not the authority to determine any sort of guilt.
@c7 Good, you deserved to get the unemployment too. I’m sure they want to get rid of me since I’m over 60!
@c7 so you got the severance + the unemployment check?
I was told I’m lucky to be semi smart because if layoffs were based on looks I’d be laid off for sure.
They said fupas go first.
Is this true?
Unless you were fired for cause, not for being a bad performer, you deserved unemployment.
Cause is stuff like hitting someone at work, s-x harrassment, refusing to do work, etc.
In the layoff of Sept/Oct 2025, a lot of people in this age group were let go. I was one. The state I live in ended up giving me unemployment after investigating the layoff. So I was given an unemployment check unexpectedly. They found HCSC GUILTY for laying people off based on age. Yes HCSC is biased for those over 50, especially if they are costly from a benefits/retirement perspective for the company.
