“Confirmed in Ottawa. Being laid off. B8. $180,000CAD. Severance $62,000.“ I don’t understand. Is 180K annual salary? Then Ontario requires minimum 26 weeks, which would be closer to 90K.
Unless the notice period is included in severance pay period, which I just googled, should not.

I am a bit confused about the notice period. According to ontario law it is supposed to be 8 weeks if more than 50 people are impacted. Seems like they are trying to rush people into accepting (have to accept within less than 2 weeks) whatever they are offering.

But Ontario requires 60 day notice, right?

Confirmed. Severance not good, and notice period is only 1 single month. Historically they gave 3 months noticr in Canada, or 2 if i remember.

They’ve gotten cheaper this time around with notice periods and severance.

Qradar was sold off a year ago to Palo. Layoffs are probably for remaining devs
