If it really is a T-shirt or some other nonsense, the timing of it is really cruel. I wish all of you luck. No one needs this stress.

It's an empty box where you put your laptop and phone in and ship it back to the mother ship.

From text alerts via FedEx. I’m sent info anytime something is heading my way. It provides tracking and shipper info.

I went through a VZ rif where folks were given one of two meetings to join. One group had survived, the other RIF’d and told to report to conference room where management was waiting. Another one, managers/directors just directly went to cube to ask emp to join them in a conference room to get bad news. My manager was RIF’d during thanksgiving week. When I got back from my vacation he was gone. No goodbyes after 10 years. Thank God I took VSP.

Notifications are done in person (or via phone) and all necessary documents are accessible online after that.

The deliveries say to be delivered by 8 PM. Logic would suggest that it's the t-shirt or some other nonsense or it would be Overnight Delivery by 10:30 AM.

If you are receiving a FedEx package you might be the recipient of Swedish Meatball Award. This is the prize awarded to poor performers who act important.

No. I did get notice of those shipping but they are coming from UPS. Different tracking info and delivery date. I was hoping that was it, but…

Not joking and hope you’re right. Timing is odd & at least one other confirmed the same. I can’t imagine what else they would be sending. Thought process is they send that off knowing the morning meeting would be complete prior to delivery, then carrier arrives a while later with paperwork. I would truly prefer to be wrong here but my suspicion is I’m not.

Hopefully it is for something else. I went through this last year where my position was eliminated. I was notified by a meeting invite sent the night before for the following morning. I found another role and stayed with the company in my final days at the end of December 2021. I did not receive anything via Fed Ex through the process. It's possible that things are different now, but I have not heard of Fed Ex being involved before.

Not based out of BR. I never receive anything from HQ. Also, I have no incoming deliveries headed my way from anywhere else at this time.

Are you based out of BR? I have not heard of any part of process involving Fed Ex on notification day.
