Did you receive the payout over several pay periods or as one lump sum? I left at the end of the December (severance) and just received the first payout. At this rate it will take a couple of months. Is that what the VSP payout timeframe is as well? — read more

Did you take your buyout yet or are you waiting for lower interest rates? I waited as rates were expected to go down, but it seems like it may take longer than I thought. I don't need the money right now so a longer wait doesn't bother me.

I'm new and I was recently told by my boss that I need to have 24/7 availability (I'm in tech) and that really didn't sit right with me? Is this really something that's expected?
