Had that scary meeting with my director and hr generalist. 3 weeks of severance. Departure 4 months from now. They were so kind to offer going over my packet's details. Helped me feel really good about it. A**holes

Will the Wahoos go all the way?

Universities get most cash from international students. Competition for top universities overseas is worse than US.

People recently being handed severance packages may be indicative of a new round of layoffs.

Can you imagine this guy with a finger on nuclear missiles? Seriously, you have to be nuts to think this guy is mentally stable. He would be worse than Putin

I heard that Qualcomm will be massively reducing it's severance payouts in the next round of layoffs and forevermore. IBM changed it's policy to just 1 month so who thinks Qualcomm will too?
