HR change to vacation policy - starting 2016 no longer get paid "earned" vacation hours if you quit / get fired.
Anyone else hear about this? Did some research and it appears at first glance to be illegal in 24 states to not pay earned vacation at end of employment. Imagine there is a loople somewhere....

Revised question
Laid off 9/1 -- end of employment date set for 10/31. What happens to package and all, if job secured prior to 10/31?
New job secured before end of employment
Does anyone know what happens if we are lucky enough to land a job before our "end of employment" date? any impact to severance package?
Deer in the headlights
It is clear that everyone in leadership below VP/ Director level had no input into TTS transformation decisions or new organization structure. KMG are having a real problem explaining new roles and have no idea how they are going to implement Agile... — read more

U.S. Bank is doing Layoffs too
US Bank is laying off people weekly as well! Friday is always the day for US Bank. They are trying to do small numbers each week to stay out of the media. Not much of a package either. 90 days is all.

Mike proven fool
There is no strategy behind layoffs. All idiot managers still in target. Mike you cheap
Everyone pay attention......
There is going to be an ongoing battle between Leadership (and I don't mean DMG and below - they are meaningless) and the workers. The C-suite is going to push you till you fail or leave. If you feel any obligation to give more than minimum to get a... — read more
