The new layoff method entails a mandatory 15 minute phone call with your (new) manager followed by a courtesy a fedex delivered to your home with instructions on how to turn in your laptop. The fedex also has papers to sign in order to receive any sort of severance it must be returned on the same day. In some cases the whole cost center is just removed along with all the managers and employees under it. No point in a face to face meeting as this might require travel. No point in a travel expense when you are just an expense to be eliminated. Reposted from: @Nkd1UUs

Layoffs are happening. MH lies through his teeth. He is wrong. Mass Layoffs are coming in less than 2 weeks.
@Nk3S2NH-1odr is right, Nothing new here. Been like that for years. The dreaded Friday Fedex van
You can still sue employer after you signed the paper. It's just if the lawsuit wins, there will be no benefit goes to you.
Once you sign the paper for the package, you are excluded and cannot sue Oracle.
If there's ever a class action suit, I'm in!
Pure greed
At least they're streamlining the process.
Souless
From what I heard, this is normal process for years, nothing new.
who would treat people this way?
Safra.
This is a very cruel process. You are paid through that day or the next and there will be a check for days worked since the last paycheck. The following day you will not have any money, benefits or anything else UN-less you sign away your rights with the termination agreement. SO instead of just giving you 2 to 3 months ongoing paychecks with health coverage, etc they purposely put you through worry and hell and you will sign that document under duress because you probably need to... who would treat people this way?
