Any information on this yet? Will it be similar to the last layoff as far as compensation goes? Are they taking volunteers again?

I admit, I didn’t believe it. Here we are though. Crown is so toxic. I really hope I’m laid off this time. Any hope they’ll change their no volunteer stance like they did last time.
No volunteers. Either accept date for moving to new desk in Houston or take separation date. Severance is 8 weeks guaranteed with 2 weeks per year employed. No equity vesting after Feb 2024. 401k unvested will be forfeited the date of separation.
Worse than last round, but similar. Last round still got screwed, just not as Nad as this next one will be.
There is also another layoff schedule for March of 2024. Canonsburg will close last 2 offices in August 2024.
No volunteers being accepted this round.
On what planet is nobody over worked? My team was short handed before they cut half off the team. Now it is he-l. Not to mention they cut all the field guys we relied on, so the work we have is like diving into a black hole. If you think “no one at crown is busy” then you and the department around you are whatever is dragging us down. Just because orders are down doesn’t mean the work of maintaining what we have vanishes. In some ways it gets worse because the customers who aren’t focused on new orders are nitpicking every little issue they can find to justify their own existence.
Must be office guy who thinks no one is over worked
No one should be overworked. If you are, the joke’s on you. Do your 40 hrs, turn off the computer and don’t let the Clowns make you feel guilty for it. That’s what I’m doing since Clown will cut you without blinking an eye.
Nobody at Crown is overworked.
Are these going to be targeted at teams that already saw major cuts, or a different part of the company? Everyone I work with right now is stretched extremely thin and trying to fit 80 hours of work into 40 hour weeks. I don’t know how things would even function with another cut.
Open reqs on ultipro mean nothing. How many of them make it to outside job boards ? 80% of them are already designated for someone's buddy. If you don't believe me watch the promotions/new hire segment on the network town hall
Hi EMT! Keep up the gaslighting!
The amount of open reqs. on Ultipro don't mean a damn thing. We had lots open in August when they laid off just over a thousand people, after which they opened even more jobs at lower salaries. So if you're banking on the fact that they're hiring is going to prevent another round of layoffs, I'd suggest waking the he-l up.
@2crr+1p0vvRB7, look at the current jobs open in ultipro and tell me if you think we're about to lay off.
Management is saying that the potential layoffs are all rumors.
BS??
Sorry to hear for your difficulties. Seriously hoping for best luck and a quick move to your next endeavors!
We are still in shock and recovering from my husband’s layoff after giving 9 1/2 years to that place. I hope that the rumors are wrong and nobody else has to deal with all that comes with starting over with a new career when in your 50s….. it seriously SU-KS!
Can somebody confirm if this will happen? Lol management is trying to sneakily find out who is saying that there will be a layoff lol
I’m 100% convinced that there will be
It’s not going to be a giant sweep this time and they will not accept volunteers either. Nov-Feb is the timeline and it’ll be in 2 phases for 400 more.
Finance is being a bit iffy about everything. Don’t trust my management at all.
There have been no talk of layoffs in South Florida network. I think most of this layoff talk come from people who are bitter from being recently let go so they're now wishing for the rest of us to get laid off.
I bet anybody that nothing happens in November.
@yha+1p0vvRB7 Which team are you on? I heard that project delivery is safe but I’m not sure about the other departments
My director told me that nothing about another layoff has been told to them. They said they asked our VP and they didn't say anything about anything for November
JP is out of his league. Just a puppet id--t for KR and CL. I'll be taking the layoff if offered.
I hope you are right about the package. I will volunteer if so
I’m not surprised. East coast is all nepotism hires. Funny how the East coast people also want to unionize. Unions protect lazy, incompetent workers.
Not a lie. Agree with the previous post. I heard him said that about the rank and file while in the KOP office.
@ptm+1p0vvRB7, JP never said that about us being MCD employees. That’s a convoluted rumor that one guy is trying to star. I’m no JP fan but we don’t have to lie to make him look bad. He does that all in his own.
It will be same package as previously per my director.
Shame is it wont effect CL, KR or JP (or the other VPs). These id--ts have collectively destroyed the fiber team. Our team has stopped working for JP. Enough is enough with the garbage and nonsense. As JP says, we are just McDonald's employees. Let's see how he makes out while we work to rule.
