Will never hold up in court. Agree to it, then, if they call, tell them to perform an impossible act on themselves.

May the company go bankrupt and the executives become homeless beggars for giving those jobs to non-Americans.

IT people should have no trouble finding jobs. Don’t walk, run.

It will come as quite a shock when this bank has a gigantic security breach, with details of depositors’ accounts, transactions, and passwords available for the world to see.

[Snickering Hound]

Go ahead. Give access to your IT systems to annoyed former employees with no compensation.

“Ok, I know how to fix your problem, ok, go to your command line and type this in:

rm -rf /

That’ll fix ‘er right up.”

There is not enough bad karma in the universe that could be visited upon this wretched excuse of a former employer for all the evil they have done. Still, I hope the universe gives it a go.

Sure, I'll be glad to help you out, Raji.

The command you need is fo are-mat. Sure I'll spell it. F-O-R-M-A-T.

Slavery ended a long time ago. I weould tell them I’m very busy watching paint dry.

Unless there’s 2 years of salary in the severance package, they can stick “on-call” up their....

“Hi, New Boss....if you don’t mind, my old boss insists I’m available at the drop of a hat for 2 years.....”

When I quit my tech job in Philadelphia to move to L.A. where my now wife was (we had been dating long distance, and finally got engaged) I was concerned about keeping at least my health plan until I could land a new job in L.A. So, I offered to "be available for questions" in exchange for keeping the benefits for a few months.

My bosses agreed, but eventually came back to me and said they were afraid of dealing with HR, so they decided to simply keep my on the payroll for 6 months in exchange for my keeping a pager. They also had given me about 8 paid weeks vacation my last year there, but they decided to put in for my full 5 weeks vacation pay as if it had been unused.

Best part was I landed a new job in a month (which I stayed at for 8 years until I retired), and they only ever called me once in the 6 months they kept paying me.

If one accepts the deal and takes the severance package and then gets hired by a competitor there is a strong potential of conflict of interest. One would have to explain that and then seek guidance from the current employer. The answer would probably be to tell Sun Trust to pound sand and Sun Trust would be out of luck. Even if it was not a competitor the answer would probably be to pound sand.

Did these Sun Trust dweebs think this through at all?

“Oh, hi. Yeah, I used to work on that system, but that was six months ago. With my new job in another technology, I’ve kind of forgotten the exact details of how that worked....”

[Uncle Miltie]

“BITE ME” should suffice.

[Jimmy Valentine]

This is not legally enforceable. Also were I hit with this I would if called back show up with a disquette loaded with a virus

[DoodleDawg]

This is a new low. Still, if they called me six months later my answer would be, “Gee it’s been so long. I really don’t remember.”

[AU72]

Part of the severance agreement which probably included a number of weeks of pay conditioned on being available for support.

[Political Junkie Too]

What about the conflict of interest when the severed worker finds a new job? Does the bank really expect their former employee to be absent from their new job with no notice?

This is the sort of rank stupidity that gives “big business”a bad name.
