Is there a way to volunteer for a layoff? Or is that not an option anymore with employees being placed in Talent Marketplace before qualifying for a package.

"If your fired by the company no unemployment benefits."
That is not necessarily true. Employment insurance (unemployment benefits) claims can be filed for termination due to lack of work (layoff) or lack of performance (fired).
Once you get past the turmoil of losing your job. . .and this "transaction" is put in context, does it really matter whether you were fired or laid off? You're out of a job and you need to find another one.
Yes. Don't approach just the manager, get through your manager's manager and the cost code owner. I guarantee your name will be top of the list
Budget pressures. Bank recently fined millions of dollars.
@4dma+1aJ40cFm - No, you are not safe from layoffs. Just because you haven't been notified yet doesn't mean you won't be in the future.
Are you safe from layoff this year if you are not in marketplace or any kind of layoff notice?
Go on disability.
Be very careful about volunteering to be laid off. You might want to check the Unemployment office rules to see if this will affect your ability to get unemployement benefits.
If your fired by the company no unemployment benefits.
If you quit no umeployment benefits .
If you volunteer for a layoff ????????
If the company lays you off you can get benefits
You an try but you will go to marketplace first and then if no job offer you will get severance. Not sure what though.
Actually I had more success finding a unicorn than finding a manager at State Street that did his/her job properly.
That aside...I do know of several staff members who were successful in getting the severance offer after approaching their manager. You need to be professional and respectful and may need to wait several months but eventually you will be rewarded with the severance offer (the best gift possible from State Street).
Good for you. The management is useless. it is best to get out. The bank cut some really good managers only to keep pets. Employees are frustrated with meetings of useless chatter and PowerPoint presentations. Expecting a manager to do his job to support employees is like looking for a unicorn in your bowl of cereal.
Yes, just ask your manager.
They’ll add you to the list.
