Can confirm the taxes on the severance check were astronomical.

“There is no such thing as "severance tax".
Severance is income.
Any you pay taxes on your income.”

If you have ever received severance I wouldn’t have to explain. But here it goes anyway.
The withholding on this large a-s sum of money was way more than I expected/thought and was much more than 22% even just looking at the federal amount.

Happy? Settle the F down. For someone needing to survive for the next 6 months, it was a lot more withheld than expected, especially in a year without any paid working hours.

Not sure why they would start cutting in North Carolina or Georgia. It has everything Board members should value - business friendly; right to work state with low taxes and booming economy with a highly educated work force. Go figure.

" Severance taxes are brutal"

There is no such thing as "severance tax".
Severance is income.
Any you pay taxes on your income.

WTF are you talking about?

Milwaukee isn’t a hub. Low level “market support” at best.

Stink hates the Midwest and anything legacy Ameritech.

Got my notice back in Nov and am happy to be gone from this place. It did take two months of job hunting and interviews, and I ended up getting another job with more $$$. There is life after T, good luck to you!
