Older & Tenured getting offered severance?

Has anyone heard anything about the older and tenured employees being offered severance if their age + tenure is over 60? I would gladly volunteer to go so that someone younger could keep their position.

@a6 You must have some hard to replace skills. What is it you do? COBOL programmer? 😂

@b1 not all departments were impacted in 2024. T2 LNP in pact at that time. Volunteered, along with many others, and we were told as our area of the business was not impacted, no volunteers were accepted. 20+ years. I’m fine to stay, but would welcome a package instead.

I'm 26 years of svc and age 49 ... I do not want to go 🙄 But they'll take me out before a volunteer. They used to offer buyouts but have not done that in years.

I’m 62. Volunteered every RIF since 2022, I’ve pled the case to allow someone younger to keep their job. It hasn’t worked yet.
