- pyvpx 11y agothey're being laid off, some with only 30 days notice. hard position to not take whatever the unspecific severance package amount is. and unless it is at least two years full salary, it's absurd.
- camelNotation 11y agoI live far below my means and save a ton of money. I do it partly for moments like this. If my employer comes to me tomorrow and says "we need you to move to X city/country or else we have to let you go" or "we are eliminating your position, sign this deal that makes you available for 2 years" or any other exploitative ultimatum, I can call their bluff without fear for my own well-being. If more people lived that way, this sort of thing wouldn't happen.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoThey also don't have to be available for two years. Take the deal, cash your check, and tell SunTrust you're unavailable when they call while sending a notice to your state labor board.
