Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

most are being told that it's 6 weeks and the last day is on the 31st of December. 18th guarantees your bonus and severance to the end of year

The company email on this makes it sound like you will have to perform your ewa assignment if you get riffed and a strike happens before you are off payroll. How do these people sleep at night?

Can you tell me source of ur info about NOT Required to go on strike duty to get severance? I am in this situation and don't want to go on strike duty but want to be assured that my severance won't get affected.

Thanks

actually whether you get paid your unused personal time depends on what state you live in.....that is disclosed in the severance package papers

Vacation is paid out - Personal time is not. Laid off in Jan 2015, and HR offerred to resubmit vacation time as personal so that I didn't lose it.

I was laid off from VZW back in March of this year after 18 years. It really hurt and was a hard pill to swallow. You should get paid for any unused vacation time up to a max of 320 hours i think. I was paid the max because I had so much time banked. Keep your head up. There's opportunity out there for people like us who've worked for a company like VZW.
