The reason most large companies give 2+ months paid severance isn't because they are 'nice'--it's to get around the 60-notice period required when laying off more than X% of your work force (due to the WARN Act).
- walshemj 13y agoTypical assuming that all coutrys have the same laws as the USA.
- dfc 13y agoDid you notice that the quote at the top of mjn's comment says "here in the states"? The geography was clear from the start. The only person that did not realize this was you, but at least your ignorance was a nice excuse to get some America hating in before bedtime.
- walshemj 13y agoThe op was explicitly about IBM in India and the redundancy there FFS. Where exactly does the WARN act apply to India? abotu as much as fucking TUPE does Its fracking karma whoring civilians chiming in with anecdotes they heard from their mate down the golf club about labour law in a different country entirely that piss me off
- dfc 13y agoYes the original link was about IBM/India. Smoyer started a discussion by comparing the layoff in India to his personal experiences in the states. From smoyer down, this thread is about layoffs in the states. That is why someone commented on US labor laws. Why are you so threatened by a discussion of US labor law?
