@a6 it is a pay week for vzf
Layoffs will happen. Case management people in customer service just got offered packages so more to come
I sure hope not. I make an outstanding salary but have absolutely zero skills. I don’t really want to flip burgers for a living.
@ch this is the way
It's a common misconception that notifications must always, absolutely be on a pay week.
NOT TRUE. There is no fixed rule; it's just common practice to do so. There just needs to be a minimum of 30 days between notification and last day on payroll.
There have been reasons for 'early' notification - too many to do in one day or notifying execs one week, rank-and-file the next. I've been here long enough to see it. 9 out 10 it's a pay week.... there is always that one time in a cycle....
@bn I bet L would turn that into a commercial if you pitch it to her
60 days before the last paycheck of the year makes sense.
Oct 22 is when hans gets his extra millions while everyone else gets sacked
@an You wireless folks don’t get paid every week? That su-ks.
@as That's for the people who were impacted in July. NJ has a 90 day WARN requirement. Verizon gets around that by keeping people employed for the 90 days. Verizon does not submit WARNs prior to telling the impacted employees. They let employees know they are laid off, file the WARN after, then keep them on the books (employed) for the required WARN notice period. That's how they get around it. States either are 30, 60, or 90 days. NJ is 90.
Warn Notice Basking Ridge says October 16
If you're going to make up an arbitrary date, pick one that's a pay week - 10/22 is a good candidate.
@a6 Imagine being as old as you are and as long in Verizon as you've been and still think everybody gets paid on the same week.
You are clearly new at vz. 10/15 is not a pay week.
@a1 Can't come fast enough
October 22 is the official date
