I have been. AMA.
Yes, there was a severance of sorts - They gave me about a month "off" at the end where I was technically employed but no longer there. I took this as an option instead of going on a PIP, after my boss had literally given me nothing to do for a quarter. Before that, things had been great - Exceeds expectations or better on every review until my team was dissolved under me and I had to find a new team on short notice.
- mysecretaccount 5y agoInteresting. The option to go on a PIP or leave the company for pseudo-severance is something I had heard of before, but a month sounds short. You only ever had positive reviews in the formal cycle? That is a real shame.
- GauntletWizard 5y agoI think I had a quarter of "meets expectations" as the last review cycle I completed - As my team was dissolving. It was ~ the start of next review cycle when I was asked to leave.
- underatree 5y agoDid they expect you to find another team during the quarter of no work? Was finding another team ever offered as an option (other than on a PIP)?
- GauntletWizard 5y agoNo, in fact - Transferring to another team was discouraged, because I was "under-preforming".
