Is anyone received instructions on how to return laptop and other item?

Were you able to still get severance even though you kept it that long? Lol
I absolutely kept the laptop for about 8 mos and used it to post on layoff. Then I kept the monitor to connect to the identical laptop I got on purpose at my new company. I got bored of seeing the box so I finally sent it back. Kept my ID.
Send computer to Mar-A-Lago to Larry’s buddy. He will store it safely along with all the other classified info.
So our severance paperwork states that we need to return all our equipment in order to receive it... if it takes more than a month, then what the heck?!?!?
They send a box, It can take months. What you put in the box and who sees it on the other side is anyone's guess. It is a legit opportunity to send back broken e-waste so you dont have to deal with it on your own. Broken monitors, computers anything you have laying around the house. Stick it in their box and send it to them.
Kept monitor mouse keyboard cords and they didn’t care.
How about mobile phones? They don’t seem too explicit about it in the return section…
They only specifically asked for laptop, badge, and corporate American Express card. They don't really track monitors and other peripherals and accessories. Keep them for yourself or demolish them with baseball bats and sledgehammers for therapeutic purposes.
I had two large monitors. When I left (voluntarily) a while ago, I coordinated with the hardware team in what was then called PDIT and shipped them back via FedEx. My local FedEx store was happy to pack them (and the other gear). I doubt that it was cost effective, but I didn’t want to keep them anyway and I certainly didn’t want to be accused later to retaining any Oracle-owned hardware.
Any idea if we can just keep our monitor? Would be tough to ship back... lol. I know in the packet, it states to coordinate with your manager/facilities but I doubt they would care.
It's in the separation packet you should have received at your personal email address today.
