I’m aware of 6 people in different orgs (HR, RAN, MCAC) being told they must report to Atlanta or Dallas by end of year or March 1 2024. All 6 rejected it and will be exiting the company 12/1. The number of people actually accepting forced relocation is going to be low which they are counting on in reducing headcount. Welcome to the immoral world of Stanley.

MCAC will be outsourced very soon. trials are being run at this time or are finishing up.
You could sell that 1.7 mil house, take the equity and purchase a smaller house on a lake. No mortgage or interest rate to worry about, taxes shouldn’t be an issue because California has some of the highest rates in the country, so it should be a positive or at least a wash. No $6-7 @ gal. fuel prices in Texas, less homeless and you are already used to having a lot of illegals around. I understand, you would have much further to drive to reach the gulf.
I see someone's feeling a little low and insecure tonight.
"You shoudn’t need unemployment in the current job market if you have even moderate technical skills."
Duh.
“No way, no how, I'm moving to some HOA controlled area in Texas where Karen can complain about my grass cutting or the color of my front door.”
This decision sounds right. You are clearly in a different station of life.
"For Southern California residents, it's let me sell my 1.7 million dollar house on a 2.75% mortgage 20 mins away from the ocean to get landlocked oversized house on 8% interest and 3% property tax. No deal."
Many of us in the Northeast completely understand.

"The company damn well knows most people will not choose to relocate in this economy. Yes, let me sell my house that has a sub 4% interest rate on my mortgage and buy one in DFW which is outrageously priced and has an 8% interest rate. Such bullsh-t.
Exactly. And add to that... there is no guarantee or even an implication that you won't be surplussed 6 months later anyway."

Why is Stinky not relocating himself? Maybe he should move to the newest hub in India.
“ Yes, ‘Welcome to Wal-Mart!’l
New opportunities available will match an employee’s current skill set. It’s a good job market for those who are competitive.
Company Trolls try to marginalize employees dilemma of forced relocation and try to make one feel like, you are the problem. Sorry but leadership’s failures are the reason for all of this, nobody is fooled by all the propaganda and vicious attacks.
"You shoudn’t need unemployment in the current job market if you have even moderate technical skills."
Yes, "Welcome to Wal-Mart!"
What's the big deal?...get off your l&zy butt and get back to work :-O
“Question: does the forced relocation version of a layoff disqualify you for unemployment in any states?”
You shoudn’t need unemployment in the current job market if you have even moderate technical skills.
I have it on good authority that no monitoring of employees for RTO will occur for the remainder of 2023.
Question: does the forced relocation version of a layoff disqualify you for unemployment in any states? If so then that is absolutely why they are doing it. Unemployment claims costs companies big bucks.
Can they do that?
Shouldn’t be any surprise. II has been known this was coming for months.
Where is everyone today? No one comes in on Fridays anymore.

Needs of the business. Not personal.
I'm sure it feels pretty personal for those people.
12/1... wow, Happy Holidays, right? That's just low, even for Stank.
“Forced relocation?”
Yes, that’s when they tell you that you have to move to another city/state, so you can sit in an office on teams calls all day or you no longer have a job. So I guess you choice is, move and provide for my family or hope to find another job before my savings runs out. Some choice. Thats why it’s called forced.
Forced relocation?
“Needs of the business. Not personal.”
You don’t say? Part of the problem is that it ISN’T personal. Work may be performed anywhere. You know that. However, personal considerations would signify a great company. Imagine if ATT took personal considerations into account when deciding whether a person needed to relocate or not.
Needs of the business is a catch all.
What flavor is that Kool-aid?

YEAH!
