If so, I bet she’d have 20 lucrative job offers in her inbox an hour after the news came out.

>>But one is supposed to give numerous weeks notice.

In fairness, the RIF’ed employees are being given between 2 and 3 MONTHS severance pay.

I believe it. They could lock all their accounts and give them monitored time to get their belongings.
I assure you, those people will not forget that treatment.

Because a bean counter figured it to cost less than fighting/settling the lawsuits.

It’s fine, just don’t pretend it’s because they G.A.S.

NYC problem.....they've always been delinquent which is why they abuse the “state of emergency” system...they correct their defaults with Gov. money from so called ‘emergencies’.....until the next time - which is frequent.

Over the years, we have given several people zero minutes to pack up their desks. We have someone pack it up for them and roll it outside to be picked up in the parking lot.

-Person is called in to manager’s office
-IT blocks all accounts immediately and forwards email etc. to manager temporarily
-Stuff is packed and taken outside to meet the “former” employee as they are escorted outside.

It isn’t always done this way, only when the person is seen as a risk.There are others that have been let go with plenty of notice and been able to continue working right up until that time.

[’We know this is a difficult time for people leaving the firm,’ Goldman Sachs said in a statement. ‘We’re grateful for all our people´s contributions, and we’re providing support to ease their transitions.]

Now, regarding those bonuses.......

Well, it would be fitting for BidenDepression II 2023.

I have no issue with people getting canned, it’s the company’s right to do that, but it’s crap for the company to talk about a family environment that cares for its employees when they will can you in a second

I rank a financial analyst for a big investment firm being surprised at a mass layoff like a psychic being surprised. Didn't you see it coming?

If I gave them a scenario of a fictional company called Silverman Bags with dropping revenues and too many employees they would recommend massive layoffs.

without even receiving bonuses

Not every employer gives regular or yearly bonuses . . . .

Maybe Goldman Sachs knows Biden’s goons and thugs are working full time to destroy the economy... and that they need to get lean now. Elections have consequences.
