People don’t understand how much money the U.S. Gov lets employers keep if they are foreign. IN fact the only reason there is a single foreign worker in this country is the cost of paying an American vs a foreigner. I forgot just how much ocare will cost.. Guess that’s why companies are pushing for more visas now. Ocare hits it’s high note next year.

That number of weeks is also the number of weeks they won’t be able to collect unemployment.

> I would take the severance, and then change my phone number.

Why change your phone number? Whenever they ask, just say you’re unavailable. Pretty simple it seems to me.

I sure as hell wouldn’t trust this bank to handle my money.

Because quite frankly if I were being offered a severance package such as this, I wouldn’t want to hear from them. The severance agreement, from what little we know about it, states something to the affect that one must make themselves available to them, for 2 years. It doesn’t state that availability as having to be an easy endeavor.

2 weeks severance per year of employment

Fairly standard. If a company is being taken over, there are sometimes additional incentives to stay to a certain date to assist in the transition.

That’s how the company is trying to spin it, but it is broader than the usual executive level legal cooperation clause. It is poorly drafted it that was the intention.

What % of the laid off workers are white?

What % of the replacement workers are non-white?
