Which is why severance payments in fang are tied to not suing the company. If that works when you lay of 10% of the company why doesn't it work when you want to fire 1 individual?
You can definitely argue it's not fair to pay somebody extra for not doing a job but the alternative seems to be you keep paying them even more to keep not doing a job (and possibly doing negative work).
Rather than put somebody on a pip for x months just offer them x months of salary to quit. Same money, same work done.
- zdragnar 1y agoYou don't give people severance when you fire them, you only give them severance when you lay them off. There's a legal distinction which impacts whether or not the employee is eligible for unemployment benefits, among other things.
- lesuorac 1y agoThen layoff a singular individual with severance instead of firing them lol... (although legally "firing" vs "layoff" is irrelevant, depending on the situation you can get benefits despite being what a layperson considered quitting [1]).
