I understand that if you accept severance over time instead of a lump sum payment, you can keep your medical/dental/vision benefits. Does anyone know if those are going to be the same rates as when I was employed or will it be at the higher COBRA... — read more
Psychopath Indian Manager
I am actually floored by this guy. I’ve seen some toxic stuff in my career, but this is next-level. He’s been here a year and honestly thinks he’s a deity, the way he talks down to the Indian team is straight-up disgusting, like they’re beneath him... — read more

Post layoff, how much are you paying for healthcare in NC

DS teams in CS
have CyberS DS teams delivered in the last year? I am glad I was pushed out of that toxic sycophantic environment.
Why would a displaced employee want to accept severance as a lump sum vs. regular payments?
Are there tax implications by choosing one over the other? Does that affect how you can apply for unemployment? Can’t understand why someone wouldn’t just want to get the entire severance amount in one large deposit. Thanks.
Do displaced employees have any negotiating power???
I understand we get out 60-days of pay for the non-working period, our accrued PTO (up to the layoff date and not including comm service time, personal holidays or floating holidays) and we get severance. However, has anyone in the US had any success... — read more

Worked for more than 18 hours during Covington, got 3 am texts from boss
Now they are forcing to sit in the office for 8 hours. Any idea if this will get any better. Especially corporate risk where you have to be there for 8 hours for 4 days feels like there is no life

This place is a toxic dump
The culture here is literally disgusting. I work in a matrix environment where my manager knows nothing of what I do. All my work is distributed by a ‘product owner’ who is the most incompetent person ever and always throwing the team under the bus... — read more

Grab that OT while you can just in case. Maybe we’ll meet at the displacement briefing.
Why do we keep trying?
I keep asking myself that same question over and over again. Why do we bother? People work so hard, they sacrifice so much, and what do they get in return? They get treated like they don't matter, walked all over, and eventually discarded. The people... — read more

Employee Survey is bad
In CLT technology and told the employee survey was bad this year. Are they really surprised? I bet BE’s explanation will be that the 12,000 people in her org are wrong and it’s not her. They just don’t get her “leadership”. Anyone else getting any... — read more

Does anyone know if there is an area in the internal contractor system for feedback/comments and also how long after a contractor leaves can a Manager add something to it, or does it close indefinitely within a day or so once a contractor leaves?
No pay range listed?
