| Not a bad severance pay two weeks of pay for every year worked is pretty sweet.

Valencia, CA | Re: Not a bad severance pay Typically, there's a cap on the years (eg. up to 10 years/20 weeks), which still isn't bad. I suspect that many are lifers.

| Re: Not a bad severance pay That isn't that great of a deal. With the economy as it is, unless you are retirement age, you are best to decline. It's hard as hell to find work right now. Even if you got 6 months of pay + unemployment, it could take you a year to land another job or more. Not worth it really unless you want out the door early or were planning on leaving to begin with. | |

| Re: Not a bad severance pay I would have to disagree with you on finding a job right now.
I have changed jobs twice since Feb. I'm on my 2nd one since then. It's not hard if you actually look and do not demand free healthcare from your employer or want a damn union.
Lowe's Companies is highering and pay pretty well. THD is normally highering. UPS is ALWAYS highering. PLUS for all you that won't work without your beloved union they have one.
BUT NOT free health care. It's just a matter of actually looking for a job.
And Wal-mart is always highering so is McD's and you can work your way up in McD's pretty quick to a manger and they pay damn well. So does HMS Host. my aunt works for them as a manager and makes $20 an hour base pay at 70+ hours a week WINTER. 50+ hours in the summer. (winter they cut their summer help up here). | |

| Re: Not a bad severance pay Your real world is confined to your parent's basement working a minimum wage job, I'm sure. I'd place money on the fact you
A) Aren't living on your own
B) Don't support yourself fully
C) Leech off your parents
As anyone with the lack of common sense you possess, DOES NOT LIVE IN THE LAND CALLED REALITY. | |

| Re: Not a bad severance pay wrong.
I support my self. I'm a full time employee at The Fresh Market. And I make more than min. wage. And have live out on my own with 2 other roommates. And as far as living in a basement- no i live in a 3bedroom condo in Toledo Ohio.
I don't talk to my parents due to 1 passed away when i was very young- and the other lives in AZ and have nothing to say to her. | |

| Re: Not a bad severance pay Wow the Fresh Market, who'd you have to know to get that LUCRATIVE JOB. I mean the career qualifications and all!!! Seriously dude, that's not a professional job. ANYONE can go and get a slack job for 10 dollars an hour or less without qualifications. We are referring to PROFESSIONAL jobs. Most people dont want to live on meager salary, no health insurance, and share a place with people. You said it yourself. It takes 2 other roommates for you to meet your bills. I bet you couldn't do so on your own. Our point stands. The economy sucks and finding any job beyond some slack jaw work that is flipping burgers, retail, etc isn't easy. | |

In the real world people go on welfare and leech unemployment. They're too good to work fast food. They'd rather get a cut of my paycheck instead. | |

| Classic... Absolutely Classic. Do you not have one iota of common sense left among the air in your head? I wasn't referring to burger flipping, Lowes, or a 6 dollar an hour job. Sure, you can probably land one of those. Yet, you can't support a family or even yourself on 6 dollars an hour. Health Care, well you need that too. I am sure your MOMMY pays your bills and medical so it's not important to you. Grown up need Health Care. Can you say Grown Up. We aren't some 16 year old kid (you) without a clue in the world or life experience. Getting sick in America costs 10s of thousands without medical insurance. Have you EVER gone to the doctor without insurance? I bet not. Your MOMMY or DADDY pay for your bills as you are probably some spoiled rich kid. Well let me inform you.
Going to the ER without insurance = 1000 + dollars
Spending 4-5 days in hospital without insurance = 20+ Grand
Having a kid born without insurance = 3 to 5000 dollars
The list goes on. Yet, you wont understand until you become a BIG BOY and have to face the real world. Your response is pervasive of the STUPIDITY that plagues this country. | |

| Voluntary seperations They haven't announced what the severance package is going to be to the employees yet, that's a couple weeks away. So everything is a guess right now. In the past, they "voluntary separations" were offered to the older workers and many didn't take the package. The reason was what was offered didn't justify an early retirement.
If they go to layoffs if buy outs don't work, then any bargaining agreements kick into place. So as to the installation and repair techs, seniority counts and the young kids that waited years for an opening at the phone company will loose their jobs. | |

"have to keep the share holders happy" is the saying from the VP of network services. and the people they are going to lay off are the people they need for future products since the old farts that are to stubborn to learn any more about the job. most of the newer techs that will be laid off run circles around the old guys. the over due for retirement people are being offered 25 grand to take retirement. | |
