I know not everyone received a VSP. But we are still subject to at will employment. Vz can hire you or fire you for any or no reason and it's perfectly legal. No class action lawsuit - UNLESS you can PROVE some type of discrimination. I don't think you'll find it here. Their lawyers are good. As far as Infy's plans, I have no doubt that within a year, most of those rebadged, especially the on-shore, will be gone. We are just too expensive. Besides Infy laying off, I've heard some buzz that many of those who took the offer are considering bailing after they get their sign on bonus in July. Going to be an interesting summer. I'll be watching from poolside.

@9kmj: not everybody received a VSP. displaced to Infosys and then a RIF after one year as the positions will be offshore. leaked email by Infosys as to how to improve Infosys profits and margins, after 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, and 4th year - of the 5 year contract.
There is no class action lawsuit over the hiring of contractors. Now if they rehired as employees that might be a different story since the severance you signed says no rehire. Compelling reason = needs of business and they can define that anyway they want. Move on people. You took a voluntary offer.
@9cqu: good message and information as we must carefully monitor. nobody is objective. there is no compelling reason. do the Indians in IT management or the former GTE, sect Persians in IT know what is a compelling reason??
VZ's Marc Reed, Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer, better be objective. if not then hence class action lawsuits.
Who cares? Retired managers have always come back as contractors! There’s more crying on this site than good info nowadays.
My manager is already trying to get a person back as a contractor.
@geq... I might know that team. And you are right.

Its kind of like when you get a divorce but you can't stop fukking your wife.
these contractors aren't competitors
dumb union memebers cant think of life without the safety net
@geq is correct
I think real world, a "compelling circumstance" is all political. It would be anything that can get the ear of the EVP of HR. Someone would have to have the influence and a compelling enough story and then make a pitch. So the "what," is possibly not as important as who makes the request.
That said, I can think of one situation where an entire team left and there's a critical gap with potentially legal repercussions.

what is a compelling circumstance????
Paraphrased from section 4.6 of the Code of Conduct, the six month wait can be waived only the the EVP of HR and only under compelling circumstances.
Most of the contracting jobs will not be advertised. They want the incumbents.
I think you will see some contractors hired prior to 6 months, however, it will not be an avalanche. These people will be hand picked to come back.
How would they even be notified of an opening for contract work?
The rumor is they are allowing people to come back prior to six months..
Huh?
