So another failed venture by ATT gets sold to Discovery for $43billion. Today, Netflix buys WB for $82billion. ATT must be the worst negotiators ever.

I was able to negotiate a better severance package. The company recently bumped up its severance fund to $205 million, so theres more room to work. I got extra compensation and more months of outplacement services. Definitely try negotiating. They're open to it and it's worth asking

Why do the Works Council in BCN keep saying that everything is confidential? Of course they have the list of names to check possible irregularities. It's part of the report provided by the company. The law doesn't make any mention to a confidentiality clause. If you ask about yourself, they should provide the information. I want more transparency and information from them! Plus, I'm really really worried about the negotiations. Unlike the Madrid WC, they've never been able to negotiate much for us. Will they be able to get good conditions?

Go Colts and Hoosiers! Now that I have that out, time to get serious. REAL SERIOUS! iI was one that was going to try to tell our leaders to give and take because of our hard times. Not after reading these words! The insistence on not listening to what matters to us will help us not bend either in our contract talks. Hold firm union leaders and brothers and sisters.

I can't wait until VZ royally sc--ws up the negotiations in 2026 and has to redeploy the remaining management employees that just saw 20% of their peers RIFed to climb the poles and install fiber again.

Curious if anyone in Canada has submitted a counter offer to the severance package. Did you get told to pound sand or did CPC negotiate?

Who is taking the offer and who is declining it and why?

Are we still expecting a strike in the east coast next summer ? I’m sure new CEO would want to settle unless he will be very strict with negotiations

I was doing some research on common severance situations using my AI of choice and it mentioned that some have been able to negotiate a better severance offer even up to the VSP levels? Anybody know is that really a thing? I didn't think we really had any leverage in this whole thing?

Any one from Germany, how much need to negotiate for 6.5 years experience in synopsys. please help me to understand some thumb rule to negotiate with HR.

In German labor law, if you want to challenge a termination (Kündigungsschutzklage) in court, you must file the lawsuit within 3 weeks of receiving the termination letter.

Hello. Has anyone been successful at negotiating severance package?

If you are located in an office like Burbank that did not get the warn notice and you are let go before 12/31, have you tried to negotiate with HR to get a higher severance? Were you successful?

Should i tell my boss now i want go or wait to nov 20 to negotiate terms.??

I’m a GL31, that was laid off. My last day is late November. I have been with Optum for six years, and have been in various roles (including two integrations). During that time I’ve accumulated a decent amount of stock options (all currently worthless at the $400-500 strike price), and stock RSU grants. My next RSU vesting is Feb 21, and would have amounted to about $30K (at today’s share price). I also obviously am not getting a bonus for 2025.

My severance letter is offering to give me 12 weeks of pay, plus a week of unused vacation. No RSUs, etc.

My question is - before I sign my severance agreement, should I have a lawyer attempt to negotiate the inclusion of my RSUs as part of my package? Has anyone done or heard of this being a successful strategy?

I have 45 days after my last day to sign the letter. I feel I’ve put it the vesting time of six years waiting for these stock awards to vest, and that I should receive these RSUs that are just a couple months shy of vesting. Do I have any case?

Thanks for any advice you may have.

Is the union and company done negotiating? I haven’t heard anything about negotiations, either good or bad. Last I heard it was unsettled on many issues. So now
does it just sit till after the holidays? August is on its way. If anyone has feedback please let me know.

I see a lot of people that are still remote… has anyone recently successfully negotiated to be remote? Will those that are remote be eventually asked to go back to the office?

Is this like CEOs of the business line and up? I found the salary chart and it says 33 and above do not have a pay scale. I assume 33+ negotiate their entire employment/contract with the company then and are not considered like regular employees?

Sorry, I don’t belong to a union at Verizon so I don’t understand the protections that it gives you.

Are you not able to be laid off without a special package? Or are you able to be laid off but the union will do a strike if or when Verizon does?

Has anyone had any luck negotiating their severance offer? If so how did you go about it?

I work for Verizon. A little over a year away from qualifying for Medicare. Our new CEO Dan Schulman promised us big layoffs are coming. Our current severance package is 2 weeks per year capped at 35 weeks. I'm guessing that he will reduce that significantly to save money and point to ATT's severance policy as justification. How many older ATT employees have been layed off and negotiated a better severance package from the company? I'm thinking they should bridge my healthcare until I turn 65 and honor the old (current) 35 weeks pay cap.

I got notified yesterday...

should i talk to a lawyer first or just sign the papers??

what kind of lawyer do i even need for this.

How do i know if what they offer is fair or if theyre trynna lowball me. can i get more money or benefits if i wait or negoiate.

what do i ask the lawyer when i talk to them??????????????

stream of thought: what happens if i already signed but change my mind. is it better to sign fast or wait a few days. do i have to pay the lawyer right away or only if i win something. how much do lawyers like this usually cost?????

Also.... what should i not say or do right now so i dont mess this up.

For those of us impacted this week, does Target have any track record of negotiating severance?

A friend from Meta suggested that if I’m impacted, I should tell them I won’t sign anything until I’ve reviewed the contract with a lawyer. Has anyone actually done that and been able to negotiate anything? Any advice if we end up in that situation?

Any past success stories about severance negotiation?

Curious to know what other people got in the past, if they negotiated, and how that process went.

They're basically giving it to us so we don't sue them down the line, right? So is there a way to negotiate the number or any benefits that might come with it? I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but this is the first time I'm facing layoffs and I'm just curious.

Can anyone share if they were able to negotiate severance and what was offered?

I was offered a severance package of 2 weeks per year of service. Was wondering if anyone had successfully negotiated more weeks per service and if there was any way they would match the 401k for this year.

Hey guys, I think the title pretty much explains it. You won’t be left jobless you would be jobless and carless so hoping getting an enhanced package.

is there any negotiating with HR with a better severance with company standard. This would be probably related to older workers since finding another position will be difficult if not impossible

I work at U.S. Bank right now and got offered a new internal position. questions are:

• How successful have fellow internal folks been at negotiating salary? Any tips on how to maximize salary without going overboard?
• Has anyone been able to negotiate their vacation package (e.g., 2 weeks to 3 weeks) or any other benefits?
• any other areas that other internal folks have been successful at negotiating?

For context, I was offered around $65K which I feel is low and $80-85K is more in line with industry and based on my skills. Thanks for any advice you might all have.

Hearing conflicting things. So if I make a lateral move (same pay grade) could I move in the range and get a raise. I only get the standard 2% raise per year and am below the midpoint by now. I just want to negotiate to be at mid is this impossible???

UPS is wrong in negotiating buyouts without the Teamsters. Why they would even try this is shocking. The timing could not be worse with tariff and stock questions.
